The Alabama & Southeastern RR WIP Thread (Large Screenies)

[Southern1581]

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to give it a try sometime!

Also try using lighter colors because they show up a little darker in trainz.

 

[Southern1581]

The colors should be right, that's the same A&SE maroon that all of the other units I've skinned wear.

If you're comparing it to the C40-8 it's because slaybay made it, not guaranteed the same colors...

R:115
G:0
B:0
That's the color values for A&SE maroon. Slabay's C40-8 had that color applied directly, I use GIMP's colorify tool to apply the same RGB value, as a result my colors are a little darker than his because the map is cream color, not stark white, which causes the colors to darken.

A&SE C580 southbound. This is 1 of 2 loaded coal trains that originates from the Hamlet Mine near Birmingham, Al. C578 is the other. The Hamlet Mine Module is the current conrailfan1999 project (he'll be back to put up some screenies of it in a bit). It includes the mine itself and a 10 mile branch line to the nearest BNSF line as well as another 6 miles to the next A&SE line. It'll be the first A&SE route release.

Some various shots of the new WIP route called the Oak Secondary (It goes from Bham, AL - the BNSF Oak sub.....Working on the Hamlet mine branch off of it where the coal trains come from. It used to be another Southern main but is out of service past hamlet. The track is still the original track from 1946 but is in horrible shape!!!!!!

This is true, his is just warped as far as I can tell, no bending to it.

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

What's with the white stripe on that one unit?

 

[Southern1581]

which one?

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

This one:

 

[Southern1581]

On the nose? That's just the logo. The way it's set up, the logo is a different mesh, and it fuzzies up a lot quicker that way (at least that's what I think). I call it logo-LOD.

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

New feature?

 

[Southern1581]

I don't think so, I see it a lot in shots of JR NS units, even the NS F9's do it. It's really irritating.

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

No, the logo on the nose...

 

[Southern1581]

Oh, no, the logo would be on all of them except the prjindigo units I've been using are too low res for it to look like anything.

 

[slabay]

Oh, no, the logo would be on all of them except the prjindigo units I've been using are too low res for it to look like anything.

Double the size of the map for higher resolutions. Of course, you will have to redo all of the doors and other details.

 

[Southern1581]

I have an attempt to do that started on the SD40-2. Uping it from 512x512 to 2048x2048. Haven't gotten very far in the whole redrawing thing, just a few doors and some latches have been finished so far.

Turning up your antiostopic(spelling?) filter will get rid of the fuzziness. I had that issue for a while when I forgot that I didn't put that back to max when I reinstalled.
