Re: Swanage Signal Box
That's lovely Tony. Really nice texturing too!
Are you using this in a simulation? |

Re: Swanage Signal Box
Hi Andy
Yes I'm using the box in Trainz Railway Simulator v19 & 22, I use blender to do the conversion but all modelling is done in AC3D. |

Re: Swanage Signal Box
That's great. I'd love to see a pic of the box in situ...

Re: Swanage Signal Box - screenshots
Hi Again
Large screenshots attached.The whole scene is not all my own work, I only did the signal box, another modeller has created the whole 5 mile length of the line. The model was built in AC3D, imported into Blender using the import/export plugin then exported to FBX for import to trainz. The only downsides are the need to swap Y/Z axis and also some reason Blender exports to Trainz seem to have washed out colours. |

Re: Swanage Signal Box
That's really nice indeed.
I'm curious about the textures in this kind of simulation. Does your model have a single texture and if yes what size ?

Re: Swanage Signal Box
Hi Luuckyy
The whole scene is obviously made up of many models, for my part it's just the signal box. The texture is a simple flat image (1024x1024) which I suppose could actually be ½ that size. I've attached a link for you, the use of sorface area is pretty poor and I should have spent a bit more time rationalising the UV map as it now looks a bit sloppy. https://tinyurl.com/nhcxbtda Tony |
