Edward (metrobus) and myself have decided to join forces in hopefully creating a L&YR pack, the centrepiece being Edward's WIP 'A' Class, which will hopefully come with a shortish L&Y route, some suitable coaching and wagon stock and also my WIP 'Pug'. This is one of our first dives into the modelling business, which to most people, including me, seems to be the most complicated and daunting aspect for creating stuff for train sims. Luckily though, Blender is free and VERY powerful, so no money will be wasted, plus there is an excellent blender tutorial for creating the mesh for models written by Trainz artist, Paul Hobbs. The tutorial can be viewed here: http://www.44090digitalmodels.co.uk . It's people like Paul and Geoff (Acorncomputer) who provide us with tutorials that enable beginners to dig in and have a go and for whom we must be thankful for.
Ok, first screenie is of my Pug. I realise there has already been one, however it is no longer available and the engine is quite beginner friendly. Edward will no doubt present a WIP shot of the 'A' class. So, here we go:
Not got very far I know, but I'm really pleased with the progress so far. I'm really getting into Blender and, surprisingly, enjoying it!
Regards
Chris
But yes, very good work
