08 Shunter cab

[RSderek]

Ok, I've finally got round to modelling it, I'm now at the mapping and texturing stage. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
Hope to have it finished in a week or 2.

Any issues with the cab let me know.

That looks lovely! I don't know whether it's authentic or not because I don't know what the real one looks like. Shall look forward to seeing that in the game. Now all that we need is for the signalling, pathing, etc. to be upgraded so that we can use it for shunting

Hi Derek

I take it this cab is going to be for a vacuum braked only class 08 with the position of the straight air brake and the type of train brake. Are you doing another cab design for dual/air braked class 08's.

Other than that the cab looks like another quality addition to the railsim fleet.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,

I will be doing only one cab design for the shunter. Mainly because the 08 I went to photograph (and record sound) was vacuum only. (D3462)
I may consider doing a variation in the future if I get into a cab and photograph all the deatils.

Incidentally, I shall look forward to the release of the documentation on train braking systems - having to match locomotives and coaches with compatible systems, especially in 1960s/1970s UK scenarios is an interesting operational challenge...

[RSderek]

Hi James, that documentaion on train braking systems will be posted up soon.

Hi Dererk

Just wondering if you are able to show us how the actual loco model is coming on, for use with this quality cab.

Hi Tony, Here is the blue 08 as it is, I need to make changes for the earlier green and black version but they should be fairly quick to do.

That is looking awesome

Out of curiosity, what is the poly count at the moment?

Not sure exactly but the poly count is around 10000 (or 20000 triangles) for the top lod.

Hi Chris,

I mainly use 3ds max. I'vebeen using it so long it feels part of me, even with it's faults I love it.
I am planning on building a few items in blender and canvas (maybe maya, i think the industry split between max and maya is about even)
I don't have light wave so not able to try anything in that.

Thanks for the reply, as far as i've found out most of the industry does use Maya or 3Dsmax
