New Maglev Tracks - preview

gkirilov · Post by **gkirilov** » 28 Feb 2006 18:44

The official name of my set(when it is ready) will be something like MTRset - Maglev Track Replacement Set. I hope no one has such a name. If not, let me know.

Here is a little preview.
I have no idea when this will be ready. But when I finish it I will post the grf file here.
"Features" like more noise and so on will be left out due to lack of time to play with the graphics.

It looks good, but it is a bit flat and it could use some noise (just kidding

). But it is way better then what we got now because I can actually see which tracks are layed and which are not.

this looks very nice. Looking forward to the final version. However, I would add some noise (it is not that hard to do), it will make it look even better.

It's way too busy for my taste. All the pale grey stuff, for example, is pretty much superfluous.

they look more like shinkansen tracks

They look flat. and maglev tracks aren't flat.

If you like, may I have the .grf Gkirilov so that I can add noise and depth stuff?
I will send it back when I finished it!

Yeh. As we've already said in the other topic, the track is a bit, flat, and that needs working on before it is released IMO.

The maglev tile need more 3D effect IMO. Also a bit noise may be nice, too.

they look like shinkansen tracks after someone removed the tracks

I wasn't sure what shinkansen tracks were, and Googled it. I found the train, and I couldn't think what it looked like. Then I realised. It looks like a platypus.

After all, I would realise that. I'm half-australina, half-english, and I support England in the Ashes BTW

I handed the grf to the Mr.X. The grf need more work but I really have no time to continue this (at least not in the near future). So I hope Mr.X can finish them and add more noise as most of you requested.

Here is the next preview:

Looks GREAT!!!

XeryusTC · Post by **XeryusTC** » 14 Mar 2006 22:38

They still do look a bit flat...

I don't want to spoil the fun, but IMO it's ugly.

EDIT: I think you can do better, if you try. Since everything seems to fit to each other, you do have some talent.

It's even bulkier and less pretty than the original Maglev track. The one advantage is that you can see where the junctions can be travelled, but I'd rather re-use monorail tracks than use these, to be frank.

Dude they are great but they would be better if you re-shaded them like the maglev tracks are shades. So they would seem realistic

what do you think about this maglev track? is only a photoshop work
elevated tracks for maglev transrapid-style ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/d ... srapid.jpg )

XeryusTC · Post by **XeryusTC** » 21 Mar 2006 21:50

I like it, although those thingies on the side look a bit odd. But if you could make junctions clean so we can see where tracks are layed and where not it would be perfect.

I see you got some noise on the middle of the track, but it doesn't look random, maybe you can randomize the noise a bit so that it looks more textured.
