Hi all, Hopefully a simple set of questions. I'm building an item of rolling stock in 3Dsmax for RS and would like to add all the relevant shadows and highlights. I've read the dev doc about shadows and learned that in order for the model to project a shadow it needs a shadow model. I know from the ...

Here at uni we use 3D Connexions Space Navigators to zoom around in the perspective view. They are so good (not to mention fun to use) that I had to go buy one for myself, they vary in price... I got mine off Amazon for around £40 iirc, but having just looked they seem to have shot up in price! :S T...

Thanks for the recommendation I will give it a whirl. I have heard of these programs but never thought to use one.



Much appreciated!

The OLE engineers I work with get really quite irritated when you add the pointless H :) Trust me, I've made that error. O ver H ead L ine E lectricity... Isn't Overhead one word? and I always thought the L stood for "Live"? Sorry if i seem picky, just curious :) Cheers Dave Im pretty sure its Over...

Thats what I've always thought. But I'm pretty sure its been done - I can't imagine the author of the models which appeared in trainz would of given away his source files.

Cheers for the reply!

Hi all, I've recently been having problems with my PC, in the end out of rage decided to slam the factory restore disk in the drive and start again :roll: as soon as my hard drive was reformatted a long list of things that should of been backed-up before hand flooded to mind :( included in this list...

Nice, lovely lovely lovely! Class 67 on the cards too maybe? :D Mart Got that one well and truly covered! :wink: Oooh nice, you have piqued my interest there fella! Gimme more? Mart While i don't want to go off topic.... (the 60 is looking truly fantastic) I've been working on a 67 for some time - ...

Hey g0fthick,

Found this pic on fotopic to illustrate the reason behind why it looks like the mesh is pinched. Like quite a few MU coaches they have 'dents' at either end - at a guess, I would say its a mild form of streamlining?

You seem to be having quite a lot of mesh issues around the front. It might be worth reconsidering the mesh flow, although that's difficult to recommend without seeing a wire frame. Don't worry, horgy never seems to know what he is doing. But it always turns out good. :lol: Horgy the pilot that is....

Looks mighty fine!

I have a question though....
If a train with 4 wheels per bogie is a bo-bo.... and a train with 6 wheels per bogie is a co-co... does that make your loco is a do-do, a 1co-co1 or an a1a-a1a?

Looks a beast!

Looks like a rather nice King to me!

Any news on the 60 or 67? Aint been any posts for a while. Thanks Jon Sadly im going to have to echo my post above. They'll get done one-day, I've still got a lot to learn about making, mapping models as well as the workings of RS. It could be a while before I get time to 'go back to school'.... I’...

TU-154 for me
Gawjus aircraft!
