working on my animated conveyor again

[leeferr]

I thought that I had lost the mesh during a Gmax crash, but I found a copy of it hidden away in a backup that I'd forgotten about. I've begun work on it again. It's a way's from being complete, but here's a progress shot for those interested.

looks nice would be great if had hay bails to go with it

 

[leeferr]

I had'n thought about that, but I'll think about how to do it. When I'm done with this, it will have a pile of stock at the end with a plume of dust and a small pile of stock at the bottom end to load. I wish I knew how to make it interactive, but that's beyond me.

Very Interesting!

Question: Will it convey Coal, Stone, Ore? Will it come in different sizes and textures?

I can think of 1001 uses for such conveyers.

Great Project

 

[leeferr]

I plan on doing one each for coal, stone and iron ore. I may do one for scrap metal also. Apache62 made a suggestion for hay bales and I'll give that some thought.

oooo, very nice ive been waiting for this for a long time. Another idea you might find interesting is a woodchip(?) conveyor found in woodyards across the southeast like this one that used to be served by the Georgia RR.

i think the conveyor loaded woodchip cars as it is right where the tracks used to be. if you need another project, i think a good woodyard wood be great for us southern trainzers

ooh, scrap yard one would be nice. I could find several uses for a scrap conveyor.
Cheers,

I've uploaded 4 versions of the conveyor. Coal, Limestone, Iron Ore and Scrap Metal. Should be on the DLS soon. Here's a shot of the Iron Ore Conveyor. The conveyor belt is animated (well, the best that I could do) and the material discharging at the top of the belt is animated.

Lefeere, could you do a special type of conveyor?
I am in search of a conveyor that transloads grain from silos, to ships, which is a part of a port railway i am constructing.
Thanks, and Cheers,
Sean

 

[leeferr]

got any pictures of what you want?

 

[LVman]

not relatively, but i am sure i can find some.
Cheers,
Sean
EDIT: Found a pic, i am starting to think its quite a hard task

That is one example of a grain unloader...
I think this was too big of a request
Cheers.

I might give it a try, but no promises.

Wow! It finally! Please keep up, I can't wait but please don't forget add the ballast color it like gray, ok.

 

[dnutter]

OH MAN! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[leeferr]

should be on the DLS by tomorrow.

 

[leeferr]

I've got 4 on the DLS. One each for coal, limestone, scrap and iron ore.
By request, I've retextured one for sand and it's been uploaded.

Your conveyors are perfect!

Is their anyway you could make a second set of conveyors that are the same design but about 1/2 the size?
