G'day everyone,
I've been a bit time poor with Trainz of late, but still managed to get the Illawarra line into Bellambi. There's still some trees to add but it's coming together well.
@NickE, sorry about that, the one I have has been modified by H222.
Can't believe I've only just spotted this thread. Great work Graeme.
I am currently struggling to get a look I am happy with using PBR textures in place of the old (Original Trainz !) textures I have been using to-date. I can't seem to capture the dry summer grasses look. And getting PBR to work with non PBR seems fraught! In the 2nd screen shot after the map in post #33 you really nailed it, and you have given me some hope that it can be done.
After several months of inactivity, where one thing or another has kept me away from Trainz, I'm now back into building again. I haven't been completely quiet, but enough that I was only getting an hour or so of building every so often.
Anyway here's some shots of progress on the Illawarra line, most of the basic detailing has been done with only the fiddly bits to go - streetlights, power, people etc.
This set of shots is from the tunnel north of Clifton through to Wombarra
Thanks Bolivar, Roy and Ringarooma.
Settings on those shots were: time - 11am, environment = default setting for 11am, Post Processing - manual: sun shafts on- default, bloom on- default, convolution: on - apply on luminence on, sharpen, add, threshold 0.05, intensity 0.15, HDR Tonemapping Heji-Dawson, HSV: Saturation multiplier 1.2 brightness multiplier 1.1. These are roughly the settings I use at any time when using manual post processing, but will probably need to be adjusted to suit the routes environment settings.

Great looking shots , there are definitely some advantages with 2019, ground textures look great. You've captured the Aussie countryside extremely well.
