Hi Folks,

OK - I'm a 3D Modeler not a Route Builder - so I'm well out of my comfort zone.

I started messing around with a route project - trying to "fix" some kinky curves on an existing route...

Hi Folks,

I’d buy that.

Hi Shawn,

Understood - just wanted to insure you knew what tools are available.

I’ve used up to three layers of textures to paint my ROW - each layer on top getting progressively more narrow.
...

Hi Shawn,

I've spent a massive amount of time painting TERRTEX.

Just a couple quick pointers in case you're not aware - are you "Auto Painting" your ROW where you can paint miles and miles with...

Hi Jim,

Always nice to see you around...

Trainz brings our BIGGEST shortcoming in the ORTS/MSTS route development world to the forefront - the lack of "splines". Those magic little shapes like...

Hi Folks,

Absolutely superb job - love the weathering and the fact you chose four packs - as I hate seeing a string of clones that are identical - four packs make mixing it up easy...

Regards,...

Hi...

Yeah - the vids are from six years ago as well. Pretty impressive route but I've only seen these videos of it. I've tried Trainz before - what keeps me away is all the scenery popping and...

Hi Folks,

One more (it also demonstrates how much we lack in content compared to some other sims):

Hi Folks,

While from another sim - it's always nice to get another artists interpretation and as someone who's lived most of my adult life in the Hudson Valley - this guy captured the flavor of...

Hi Folks,

Hi Folks,

Hmm - a place to run Niagaras and Mohawks - oh my...
:)

Ambitious project - don't forget the water scoops...
;)

Best of luck...

Hi Folks,

Just a follow up thought on compression - as I also paint for Lockheed Martin's P3D (Flight Sim) where we've been exclusively DDS for many years. It would be unheard of for anyone to use...

Hi Folks,

As an original artist who's made hundreds of original textures - I have noticed a degradation of textures when compressed. What I learned fairly recently - there is no difference in...

Hi...

Well thank you kindly...
:)

Hi...

LOL - thanks - I need to stop running it - it's at the point now it's more fun to run than work on...
:)

Still some more stuff I want to accomplish.

Hi Folks,

Countless hours of texture work - thousands of rivets, hundreds of bolts, all shaded - she's getting close. Baked textures using PovRay. All in the bare naked untouched light of ORTS...

Hi Bill,

Welcome aboard.

Open Rails (ORTS) is an amazing program but it’s forte is a more geared to realistic operations on real world routes. While you could probably build your switching...

Hi Shawn,

Hah - should have read your first post more carefully - ambitious project - sounds good - best of luck...

Hi Rory,

WOW - you capture the true essence of idyllic rural life - looks like the kind of place I'd like to live.

Beautiful.

Hi Folks,

Nice - if I have to run diesels - I like them pine tree green and harvest yellow.

Unless you’re doing a steam route - then I have the “SD40-2” of that era 95% done and probably a...

Hi Pete,

Just to clarify - I know ORTS doesn't support bump maps - however - if you distort a copy of the mesh as shown in the video - then take a screenshot of the distorted side - then apply...

Hi Pete,

Blender can do that with baking - I think - just watched a video - go to 4:50.

Hi...

Carlos did the work - I know the main pipe takes a while to get updates - perhaps try Monogame which is what I use - I know they work there.

In one of the threads on the subject - Carlos...

Hi...

Glad to hear...

Hi...

TTYPE.DAT

You need to update the number at the begging to reflect the accurate count of TrackType.
