LETS GO PENS!

It's a packing house that i created for my previous route. I's been uploaded to DLS some time ago.

Here's a question.
Would be it permitted for him to distribute the TEXTURES only, assuming every square pixel is his own work of course, leaving it up to the end user to put it all together? Sort of a Some Assembly Require re-skin.
I can imagine JR might not be happy, but I really don't see what they could legitimately say/do about it.

-May I ask, who gave permission?
-First, its my GP35, with JR's trucks. Second, iirc, I haven't given anyone permission to release the GP35 at anyone's site, since its kinda like a combination of parts.

what's a normal map?
AGREED
some of us spend hours of our day drawing the base textures to fit the models and adding rivets and doors and all that great detail stuff, only to have someone who barely knows how to use the HSL tools in a paint program come along and provide a 'reskin' on top of it by changing the color of a logo.
They can look OK if they're done right. You have to do more than block off a piece of paint and fill it with black. I've done a few quick personal CSX and NS patch jobs on JR's Conrail units, but even if I get the paint looking right, and I rarely do, there is still the problem of the ARN grid being off center. CSX's numbers, for example, are positioned higher than on the Conrail paint. You also have model issues such as class lights being plated over and cab signal boxes being removed even if the unit remains in Conrail blue. Finally, to make it just right, you have to REALLY weather some of those units. Different colored panels cannibalized from other units, paint peeling or missing, scorch marks, oil and dirt, the works. You rarely, if ever, see a patched unit running around in a factory perfect scheme. Really, to do it right, you just about have to start from scratch.
Very true, a lot of patch jobs pretty much need to be done from scratch on an undecorated model. Even the JR Conrail C40-8 that I briefly cloned and swapped the trucks on to make a B40-8 was only to see how it looked. It was deleted soon after. Hopefully someone gets this straightened out, and I would leave it up to Joe if he wants to do a patched CR GP35

-Some very solid points here.
-Imo, skins wouldn't look or be there best without the correct psd they were originally skinned with, though some can do it no problem, ekankal first comes to mind.
-Back on topic. Running JR's 'DPU Push' session for the Mojave sub, testing out the pre-SP1 coupler breakage issues. Even though I created the session and was able to complete it myself before SP1, many others could not. I got it done on my first try this time, after the SP1 install. Seems to be fixed now!
