The Original 3D Models for Lomo

Ok, strange, somewhat pointless question/ endeavor. But curiosity kills the cat. As I have seen, the Mods that are made for this game are normal, non - pixelated 3D models, that are then converted to locomotion standards.

But what about the Vanilla models for Locomotion? They must have been made the same way. I'd really like to get a closer look at them, especially the trains.

Just a thought, but the vehicles shown in the trailer may very well be those models.

Alright, so in the trailer, we see a couple non - pixelated vehicles from the game. Let's have a look.

For "Trains" We have a model of the Baldwin 2-8-0, from the North American regions.


Next, for "Planes" We have a model of the DC-3.


Then, strangely enough, for "Trams" we have the Electra - Star, even though it is not a tram.


For "Buses" We get the useless Vulcan VSD Bus.


Then they basically advertise trams again with "Trolleys" even though they are all one catagory - trams. Maybe this was supposed to be another option within the "Trams" selection, that was cut. Maybe we would get trolleys such as the San Francisco trolleys for the US. It sort of makes sense, as the US region was added in last - minute, therefore "Trolleys" were cut.

Or they just put that there for no reason.
Anywho, for "Trolleys" we get model of the ubiquitous Ce 2/2 Tram.


Last, for "Ships" we have a model of the Cargo Ship.


So, I'm pretty sure the original Locomotion models do exist. It would be nice if someone could get some pictures so we could all have a better look.

I'm trying to get the pictures on here, but it's only uploading 3 of the 6 images, so if anyone has any idea why let me know so I can fix it.

Chris Sawyer never release these models.

You should consider Locomotion as a closed game for the author. Where a 3rd party decipher how the .dat files are composed and how it works.

Due to that policy 3rd party creators can take advantage. Never existed a official community where templates or source files are released.

The only I know. Chris Sawyer's made these models with 3dsmax and rendered every frame. Due to the huge work is probably he make 3dsmax script

Hmm, I get what you are saying. Maybe someone here could get in contact with Chris Sawyer (Although I doubt it's possible) to see if we can get some pictures :D
