Atomic Systems

Ok, so i scrapped my last project as i didn't have enough plans/resources, and haven't seen the locomotive in question for about 8 years.

So i've started something new, that i'm sure a few of you will be quite eager to get your hands on when KRS is released, i'm not saying what it is though, i'm going to let you guess



The loco is currently 596 triangles, i reckon i'm on track (geddit?) to hitting my aim for this, so far i've spent about 40 minutes on this. The reason it took so long to get so little done is i ended up screwing up and not realising until it was to late to go back, so i hate to rebuild part of the body, it's fine now.

So, what it is?

Class 37?

Might be

Bit of a progress shot on this loco that may or may not be a Class 37 :p



Any comments or suggestions are always welcome, as i'm aware that i make mistakes that i might not see.

great work!

although you may need a cab and a couple of wheels

Class 40?

Fussy



Progress isn't too bad, but that front section took me forever to get to what it is now, still needs a lot of work too -.-;;

Ok, last update for tonight/this morning.

I think i have the front part nailed, i'll look at it tommorow when i'll be more with it.



And no, i don't know what that little dark grey speck is at the back, i'll fix it later.

4090 triangles right now, considering my target was 25000 and the main body is done now, i'm pretty confident i'll get this done well within my limit.

Thats Brilliant!

Make sure its BR Blue

Cheers

fantastic work!!

Hi
I'm just wondering whether...as a professional artist...you could sell these models of yours to Kuju.
(I'm assuming this is another one which won't run in MSTS)
Then we would have a good selection of UK outline with the basic game.
Cheers

Well, it certainly wont be going into msts

Whilst i may appear as a professional artist to the untrained eye, i haven't even started my University course in Computer Games Art yet, and i'm totally self taught.

Also, i'm not sure what Kuju's slant is on this, but i'd rather retain the rights to the model, also i'd rather provide it to the community for free.

Matt's already threatened me with death if it's not EWS livery :p

Last update for a little while, the wheel area took me so much time that i'll end up not wanting to come back to this again if i don't take a break.



It's 11,850 triangles right now, meaning i have about 13,000 more to finish her off.

Edit



Realised the first render didn't really show much of the detail of the wheel section, so here it is zoomed in. Whether or not the game will allow the player to zoom this close or not is debatable, but even at this level it holds up pretty well.

you forgot a few niggly bits and the nose needs to be a tad shorter

I realise the nose needs shortening, but could you point out what niggly bits you are referring to?
