I got intrested in this loco after i played Transport Giant..so i decided to model it..
[DOWNLOAD LINK]Is gone and will never come back, no site is to host this vehicle anywhere, i will make the one and last update to this vehicle, and thats it, any more works of mine will not apperear in locomotion, if i see this vehicle for download i will not limit myself just for warnings if it is not taken down in the time i demand.[DOWNLOAD LINK]

Looks interesting. Although it looks as though it's a tad too short.
And more detail can be used. polygon count won't really matter for locomotion because they're just sprites anyhow.

its a nice picture except from the panthographs (or soemthing like that). The shading ofthem is incorrect

I wouldn't be so shure about tad to short... http://www.privat-bahn.de/DB_E69_02.jpg (though i based mine on diffrent picture..) [EDIT]Fixed the slope part on front, and changed pantograph color to red. NOTE:I Cannot make the locomotive exactly match the real life one, i do not have the skill for it.

Im in process of getting it ingame but all i have left to do is fixing pantographs in some views, fix the palette and offsets maybe a little(its little off from the carriages).

Alright got the pantograph fixed(made it a little bigger in the model and re-rendered and it showed better in all images after that). Now all left for me to do is convert it to loco's palette and company colours. Note:Im Sacrificing Realism for that you atleast see part of the loco(mainly the pantographs). At the moment ingame, it lacks shading A LOT, and i do not know what to do about it..

It looks good.

Get some shading, make a tad smoother here and there and you'll have a good second release :)

It looks too boxy. Round the corners off a bit and it should look better. And that then gives you something to shade.

Release 2 is here, new features(even though not heavily visible) on the model are:Grate on the heat exhausts, DB sign on both sides of the locomotives cab, Model number on both side of the cab, and railings.

Good

That thing is way too large!

Here are examples for the original one:

http://www.bayerisches-eisenbahnmuseum. ... E69_11.jpg
Those silverfishes are 26,8 metres long, the E69 itself is around 7,3 metres long.
It is a very small loco designed for light passenger traffic on "Nebenbahnen".
