Hi Philippe,Hi Jim,
Your screens seem like real photos!
I'll bet you have cancelled the shadows in TrainZ, as this can ruin the appearance of the trees ...
Cheers,
Philippe
A long time ago, I did. I ended up taking vegetation by JVC, st_rmm and Roy's...and cloning them so I could get the right shades of green for the region I'm trying to model. After cloning, I used an old version of Paint Shop Pro to redo the color shading and reduce the color saturation. On the old JVC vegetation, it was necessary to take the alpha texture and boost the contrast on it, so that the black would be darker and white's to be brighter, so they wouldn't be as transparent on the newer editions of Trainz.....plus they have old build numbers but still work in TANE. There were some that just didn't work for some reason. Depending on the lighting, at dusk they'd get a really weird bright look, so I didn't use those and I could never figure a way to fix that using Paint Shop. The older bill board type vegetation, I'll put off in the distance. I'll still use them as they are easy on the frame rates and don't look too bad some distance away.JimDep, do you have trouble finding the bushes and shrubs for the understory? There doesn't seem to be a lot out there.
I want to mention too, something I did to help organize the vegetation, whether it be trees, shrubs, grass, etc.JimDep, do you have trouble finding the bushes and shrubs for the understory? There doesn't seem to be a lot out there.
This will give you an idea how I put the vegetation out there on a baseboard to select from.That sounds like a great idea!
Every one is welcome to put their own woods shots in too......just looking to exchange idea. Sorry these images are so dark. I should probably turn up the brightness on my monitor, I guess ?
