I don't immediately recognise the trees in your images, but the JVC ones I mean are the ones with ~ in the title. For example the sets of trees JVC~(Tr-1)xxx, JVC~(Tr-2)xxx, JVC~(Tr-3)xxx, JVC~(Tr-4)xxx, JVC~(Tr2)xxx, JVC~(Tr4)xxx and his similarly named shrubs and grasses.

However I strongly recommend that you really look at Pofig's trees in the libraries I gave you in the download link. I have 737 of his wonderful speedtrees which are the best Trainz 2010 native mode trees I have ever seen and which I think are even better than the JVC ones. I am in the process of replacing most of the trees in my layouts with Pofig's ones apart from only a few of the Trunda trees which are acceptable in 2010 native.

However it's up to you to decide.

I do agree with you, but im not sure which to download. if possible could you give and indecation of which file to download. im looking for some big and small chestnuts, beech, really big old proper english stuff that y ou would find on the west somerset railway.

Thanks

By the way, in the screenshots i used JVC~(Tr-1) Maple A 16m trees

Download all 10 libraries and install them. Pofig does not use tree names in his titles but uses a reference system of alphanumeric characters to identify groupings. You have got to look at them in the game and choose the ones best suited to your ideas. If you decide later you do not want some of them you can always delete them in CMP.

Ok, thanks. Just a quick question, as you have downloaded all his stuff, could you tell me if there are any chestnuts etc. (any english trees will do) as there is no point in me downloading them if theres nothing i want. If there are any chestnuts etc. then please could you send me the first set of numbers so i can identify which file to download. Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

There are many trees in the sets which look like all the common broadleaf, birch, pine, fir trees and shrubs you will find in the Exmoor area which I know well. You have to be prepared to put in the effort yourself of looking at all his trees. I do not know why you seem reluctant to install them all, since they cover every conceivable type of tree you want now or will need for any UK layout you make in the future and I don't think you will regret the effort required to appreciate these trees.
Using CMP to copy the list, I have even created my own spreadsheet of these trees where I have given my own description to every tree reference number to make it easy for me to identify Pofig's reference description and associate this in my mind with a common name that means something to me. Yes it took a bit of time but it was worth it since these trees justify a bit of effort on finding what helps you to find what you want. Pofig has said that later in the year he may produce a range of Autumn trees and when he does, I will download them all and convert my spreadsheet into a database associating my own description with each tree. Alternatively this can be done using keywords in CMP, but I will do my own database or spreadsheet.

Hi

Thanks for your help with that, its been appreciated. I know it may seem i dont want to download them, i do, its only the file sizes (for trainz) are what i would call huge. My maximum for each trainz item is about 4MB, not including dependances, i know that hardly anything campared to 4GB, but with the amount of stuff i download from DLS, its something i could do without.

Just a quick question again, are there any pictures on pofig's site of what you can download in the files, as this would be handy

Thanks

@privite

No detailed pictures on Pofig site.

I think you are not understanding the file sizes. The rar file sizes on the site are for each complete archive. Each archive when unpacked contains a number of largish CDP files, each one is a sub library containing many trees. When each CDP is installed it produces a set of individual trees and according to Content Manager each individual tree is only about 2.5MB after it has been unpacked and installed (not large). You can always start with the top 2 rar archives or delete after installation if you have a disk space problem. I can add no more to the subject, it's up to you.

Ok, thanks you for your help with pofig's content. i do understand that there are many trees within a file download, but i wouldn't download a tree on DLS that was around 2.5MB, although i think its something i need to do.

Thanks again scottish, i will hopfully be downloading his stuff soon.

Does anyone know how to fix a no texture mapping error on gmax. when i try to export it it says "ignoring mesh - no texture mapping for mesh:box01.
the same for box 11 and 21. can anyone help

thanks

 

[nexusdj]

You have objects in your scene that have no textures on them (box 01 , 11 and 12) . Gmax will not export objects which haven't been textured . You need to texture them up or remove them (if not needed) before you export .

 

[privite]

But i have textured them, just like the other boxes. heres the picture

 

[angelah]

That may be...

That may be, but you may also need to click on UVWMap. That will bring the texture up.

Thanks, that solved the problem. fixed it and looking great
