[Developing] Finnish Metro

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 18 Oct 2004 17:43

Anyways, since after many unsuccesful attempts of mine to even do the metro, i decided to give up on it, and ask someone else to do the model(preferrably someone who already knows how to get stuff into Locomotion and has the capabilaty to even do the model so it looks up to standards of Locomotion).Though there are 3 models that came earlier, i picked this one cause i travelled with Series 200(also travelled with series 100..). I also picked it cause of its late intorduction date, so you don't necessarily have to rush to make a Underground network so you can preserve the train. [EDIT]Paasky is making this currently..Stand by.

I would rather do M100 series if HKL hadn't such a paranoia and could give me the drawings. London Underground beats HKL 100-0 in this matter as they have all drawings in one pdf obtainable from their website.

PS. I'd love to hear that Thyristor noice from accelerating M100 in Loco:)

Maybe PikkaBird will do this when hes got time why not ask him?

Doesn't almost every Metro sound like that?I seen both types, and honestly theres not much diffrence. Oh and Why would you want the blueprints for M100, you could just base it off the pictures(there are many avaible, even statistics). Recording the Thyristor noice would be hard as the metro station always has someone talking and i don't have a good recorder device avaible :/.

No takers so far apparently.

You didn'a give it a full 24 hours. Patience, my son...

I would really like to see this after nerve rastering experience of making the E69.

I'm a taker! Minemineminemine munmunmunmun

Now to find a good OpenFX tutorial or get my 3dsmax to work.

That metro sound is the best sound ever, absolutely wonderful.

Hmmmm-hm so your making it?

Paasky · Post by **Paasky** » 01 Nov 2004 05:46

I can put a picture here later today, so yes. This one doesn't have to have any company coulours, its always orange, I guess?

Does anyone know where to get the sound that the metro makes?

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 01 Nov 2004 10:10

It should be avaible in company colours, and just orange, not all people might prefer the orange colour. And Finding the Thyristor engine sound accelrating is hard, and i don't have the equipment to record it, and there would be backround noise..

So you are doing M100 or M200 or both?

Paasky · Post by **Paasky** » 02 Nov 2004 08:06

Let me guess: the M100 is older & M200 is newer? Yes, I'll propably do them both, but due to the lack of blueprint type of pictures It will take a longer time... Also, I can't render the pictures until I get my own PC working (which should be soon, ie in the end of this week)

Paasky · Post by **Paasky** » 03 Nov 2004 11:33

Okay, here's what I've done. No textures, only planes with different colours:

The windshield is should be larger & the door-drops smaller... There are other small bugs in the model, but I'll try and make them work.

Also, how are Bo´Bo´+Bo´Bo´ wheels like? A simple paint drawing of those please...

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 03 Nov 2004 11:43

its the bogie arrangement for each end, Bo means Bogie. That means you have 2 bogies at each end. You don't need to make wheels for the train, you can use existing bogies in Locomotion.

Paasky · Post by **Paasky** » 04 Nov 2004 13:46

So, are the wheels arranged like this:

ps. this is my first time of doing a vehicle into loco, so I don't know how you'd use the existing wheels...

Making simple boxes & cylinders for wheels is not very hard or time consuming, so I think it's wiser to put the wheels in the model...

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 04 Nov 2004 13:48

http://www.nettilinja.fi/~ahellman/metr ... 03tehd.jpg That shows it nicely.

Paasky · Post by **Paasky** » 04 Nov 2004 13:50

So it is a |-wheel wheel-|-------------|-wheel wheel-| arrangement? That's what it looks like.

Edit: you could change the thread title from request to developing

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 25 Nov 2004 06:50

Any progress?

Paasky · Post by **Paasky** » 25 Nov 2004 10:17

How hard is it to make the sprites? Like making the company colours, having the background in correct colour, and getting the size & position right?

If the wheels are correct, I'll add them and put it in 3dsmax. Then some sort of textures, rendering & propably something that won't work

I've never done anything like this with 3dsmax so I'd like help on the paletes & stuff.
