[REL]Version 2011 of my rail vehicle packs

[K.Y.Chung]

Now let's start having research on the target quality of my rail vehicle packs this year. Some of them are new where the others are updates of the old ones. This time I would like to use CRH5 (Alstom Pendolino for China) as the first one for experiment. Then I would like to choose an old one to test the outputs when company color is used. Comments are welcomed and I beg those from masters like Plastikman or Illegal_Allen

The 3D model of this CRH5 is borrowed from Justin Chan, and I would like to thanks again for his kindly help. The 3D model is done in sketchup and I found that it is impossible to to get the model usable in blender without using the functionality to export the model directly as 3DS provided by sketchup PRO. The .dae file exported by free version is unusable in blender at all. I afraid this is my final conclusion for those many people who ask the same question.

The CHR looks good, no comment on the quality; But i do have a comment on the size, for some reason it looks rather big. But i can be wrong about that one. (You can always pm me.)

[K.Y.Chung]

The scale of the models is kept the same as those released last year, so the scale should be OK if you feel comfortable with the sizes of those objects released by me last year. I guess it looks bigger here just because the canvas sizes is reduced. You can have further comparison by comparing the railcar (the second one) with that one released in last year and you should find that the scale is not changed, and the length is shrinked by 20% before rendering since the releases last year.

Well, i always thought they where to big, I just thing changing the height and length should help more.

Example of the size i use;

I've further reduced the size of the car for a little by adjusting the camera parameters. For your reference, I've just also compiled a new set of sprites of my CRH3 using the newest scene and camera parameters which are the same as those implemented for CRH5 so they are of the same scale. The size of the car of CRH3 is exactly the same as that of ICE3 by seelenquell. If you accept the size of the CRH3 then the scale of the CRH5 should also be OK.

Nice scale but darn good models too!

Here is my Chinese New Year present for all of you. Enjoy

The next episode....

So smooth, and the quality is exceptional. You're pumping trains out like no tomorrow. Thank you for your input, I will find a way to utilise these when I get around to re-installing.

They look simply amazing!
And 新年快樂！恭喜發財！

very nice pack so far any eta on release date?

[noofnoof]

Montanna? Seriously?
while they look great, I find myself rarely using long trains, due to the time to load and unload passengers.

[K.Y.Chung]

There are light versions which you can buy a 4-car complete train just by one click, but I haven't place them here as I think those versions are just made for those dummies in Lomo If you really want them you can download them on my website

[K.Y.Chung]

What I've done today. There are still some coming but I haven't finished preparing the xml files and they may come as soon as tomorrow

[K.Y.Chung]

Here they are
This time I put the light version here as well because different types of trains can be coupled together as in real case but it can't be implemented in advanced version

Update: I've just found something misconfigured for the trailer cars of E3 in advanced versions and have been corrected

[K.Y.Chung]

The 2 Hong Kong Railway Packs have also been ready now The first one is the KCR Pack

[K.Y.Chung]

...and the next one is the MTR Pack. There will be new stock for MTR this year so this pack may be updated again after few months

[kingmush360]

You are excellent at this!

Might have to make a Asia scenario for the amount of goodies you have presented to us.
