Substance Painter is a specialist tool for 3D modellers to create textures for their models. It is not a 3D modelling tool: you need a 3D modelling tool such as 3DS Max, Maya or Blender as well. For Trainz purposes the basic workflow would be: 1. Create your 3D model in your 3D editor. 2. Export the model as FBX and import into Substance Painter. 3. Create your textures and export as image files. 4. Create your materials within your ...
Why be organised? Most model makers will tell you that good organisation is essential for creating and managing your models. For a simple model you can probably get away with a single project folder but for complex assets such as traincars you need organisation such as a standard folder layout. Modelers that use products such as 3DS Max and Maya will know that those products use a standard structure for your model including scenes and images. Blender doesn't do that and ...
My CNJ840 loco consists of the following assets: 1. The loco body. The meshes for this are complete including the attachments such as doors, bell and moving windows. 2. The interior. The cab "shell" is complete but I need to create the piping, gauges, and some of the other bits you see in a steam loco cab. I have made the reverser, regulator, firebox door, windows and doors. I don't have any pictures of this loco's cab so some of the controls will be based on other Baldwin ...

This blog will chronicle my efforts in texturing one of my locos using the new Physically Based Rendered (PBR) materials that will be introduced with TRS18. My goal is to have the loco ready for TRS18 when that version of Trainz is released. During my journey, I will talk about tutorials I have followed and test models that I have built. I will also talk about PBR workflows and changes I foresee in how I build my models. If there are questions, then I may digress to respond with ...
A few days back I uploaded Big Bertha Version 3. The changes are very minor but include: The missing connecting link on the right side. This is the bit from the main reverser mechanism down to the Walschaerts gear. This was detected by PEV - nobody else seemed to notice! And a minor change to the interior script which wasn't necessary but I did it for my own satisfaction. There is also a change to the enginespec after the original author (azervich) suggested some ...
