Greetings,

I boldly assumed that when the new 32bit gfx are usable there will be an easy way to add trains (just like adding .grf's now) and started to make Finnish train set. So far I've made Dv12 (diesel loco) and Sm1 (emu), and am currently working on Sr2 (electric loco). Constructive critisism is appreciated.

@ bio, cant you make the doors a little bit more realistic. Now they just look like the wall of the depot. im sure you can place them under an angel.

@Hazen: Great trains, can you tell me where to get some textures, or are those just coulours?

Nice models, I have also made Sr2, see this old topic page 2: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=15005

Also nice models. I don't see any point now to finish my Sr2, so I'm going to move on straight to Sm4 (that is, unless you have some secret stash of sm4-models

.)

We should also try to cooperate, since there is no point in redoing models. Maybe, set up a wiki-page for Finnish stuff? That would avoid mix-ups and everyone would get a general sense what is done and what is still missing.

They're basic materials or very simple textures (think image with bottom part red and top part white).

ow darn i only saved the image, not the .blend...

ill have to redo the depot, but i hope you guys liked the first one...

(can someone make me a texture for it:

1) wooden planks for old days?
2) brick walls and rooftop (for newer ones)
3) concrete walls with rooftop
4) futuristic material? (for past 2025)

Don't get carried away. We need one, dead-end depot that, if possible, looks like the one now.

Needs more details, that's all, I think.

more details in what way, i think the details come in with texture and correct lightning setup (i just did something for lights...

The walls should definitely have width - try making them out of solids, rather than single rectangles.

Then some actual detail. Perhaps some rails, and a maintenance pit between them. Some tool racks inside, and some detail on the doors, such as handles, locking mechanism, etc. The roof could be made of corrugated iron or wooden slats (both of which are more than just a texture) or something else entirely; at the moment, all we have is something that might be made entirely of sheets of card. (:

It might be an idea to draw a depot with a pencil, as it would look in real life, then try to model that.

The sm4 I promised is coming along nicely. The middle part is missing some detail because of lack of reference material. As soon as this is finished I'm thinking of doing a dm7.

The trains on the wiki take priority before we can think about adding new trains. Doing them too early often gets them forgotten.

ZxBiohazardZx · Post by **ZxBiohazardZx** » 26 Apr 2006 08:43

ok update

Jango · Post by **Jango** » 26 Apr 2006 09:48

ok, now we're getting somewhere...

just make sure that the scales are correct, and there's no harm having some details on the outside of the depot.

the master e · Post by **the master e** » 26 Apr 2006 09:52

wow, looks great!

Brianetta · Post by **Brianetta** » 26 Apr 2006 10:28

Huge improvement. Well done!
