Having just recently re-started my fictional rail line project, i quickly ran into one of the problems that plagued me in the past; not being able to effectively repaint stuff well. The bump map rip method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9qVRRnk6ks) works...okay-ish on some things, but for a majority of JR's stuff, especially the newer things, this is no longer workable for various reasons. Not to mention any other potential content that might not even come with that map
Of course i don't expect JR to dump kits for everything they have, so i'm curious if anybody would have some resources/tips so i can create some sort of kit(s) for myself. Hoping there is something better than having to sit down and redraw every small line all day
Example; splotch of paint shows the (flat, bad) paint job that i would end up with without having the dark lines a kit would come with. https://i.imgur.com/5Sob32P.png
Obviously anything i paint wont be released publicly, just need something to make my layout(s) feel less like a mess of railroads, and more like mine
Edit: Also i forgot there is more than just the dark lines, there's stuff like shadows, exhaust soot on the roof, etc that just aren't doable with that bump map method
