The Alabama & Southeastern RR WIP Thread (Large Screenies)

[Southern1581]

It's fictional, it has a pretty deep history to it especially regarding rebuilds, the routes, etc. because the idea has been with me for 3-5 years now. I suck too badly at scenery to do this on my own, so my Trainz NS Railz co-owner, conrailfan1999, is helping me out with it, he does most of the scenery (although he keeps trying to shove all the trees on me. If he wants this thing to have a decent fps rate when we're done he'll do them himself) and from there we've come here.

I suck at scenery to, not sure why I took on a project with such scenic vistas as Alaska...

 

[conrailfan1999]

Once I figure out my problem with saving those pofig trees as a cdp I can do all the scenery for the routes if needed!

 

[Southern1581]

I like to detail scenes. Like the gas station robbery... I hope to add many more o these scenes to the route. Plus now that conrailfan has figured out scenery on grades, I really want to start laying the northbound track. He'll have a ball on it.

Oh gawsh no, I wasn't including the clean-up process, if you've ever seen the RBMN bump map after it's been made into a blank skin you'd know it takes quite a while. As a result I'm moving over to the SWMX SD40-2, it's bump map is much cleaner, should've been doing that all along, then I'll put it on the RBMN unit so it has start/stop, and blah blah blah who cares right? I'm liking the look of the unit so far, I'll be making a straight FURX version and a A&SE patched version.

Smart, now why didn't I think of that first?

 

[Southern1581]

Because you're not the one doing the skin. I really wish I could figure out how to unlock the built in SD45's, I'd love to get some skins in on them too.

I feel the need to randomly post something funny, so here's today's funny:

You guys get in another argument this morning?

Oh yeah.

What happened?

I don't know, she rolled out of bed, jumped on her menstrual cycle, and ran my *** over.

-Walter, Arguing With Myself

All of those Jeff Dunham things are hilarious, between Walter and Achmed I could kill myself laughing.

What route is it? I like the look of it...

A personal route based off columbus ohio. I would release it but I need someone to tell me how to fix a problem with the pofig trees saving as a cdp. you can see it here

Wat i dont even

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

Love the color thingy... :hehe:

 

[Southern1581]

It is kinda funky looking... Very nice, I like the look of things so far, try to remember that this is a low traffic branch and not the super high traffic mainline it comes off of.

No screenies from me today, the internet's out on my pc and I'm using my phone. I did get a lot of stuff done, so there'll be plenty of fun stuff for you guys as soon as the internet's back up.

I know the cassava branch (to me) has 10 trains a day 8 ns/bnsf. freight/coal/autoracks and 2 a&se a day mixed/hoppers

7 A&SE trains roll through it a day. 4 inbound head into the branch, and 3 head outbound and run to Montevallo. Two extras (EW501 & EW519) make in and out trips on the weekend. The Cassava Branch does not interchange with NS or BNSF. There is a single BNSF interchange located in Birmingham, and there's a NS interchange literally 10 miles north of the branch at Montevallo.

They can't be extras if the travel on the weekends every week...
