Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I have not been on here in years, and I'm amazed what I see from you Gumboots! Really incredible what you've made with the RT3 engine in mind. Do you do all of your texture work in photoshop? It looks like the classic handmade textures; something we don't see as much anymore.

Thanks for the info and track. I'll have to go experiment now.

I could probably use 12 edges for the buffers if I need to redo them, and probably just have the couplers be flat planes. Maybe even do that for the siderods too.

By track model I meant the track that you've been using in your blender scenes.

For wheels, how do you tell the game where which wheel and rod goes? I vaguely remember reading on this forum that the game automatically animates each wheel/rod.

Since custom models are now possible, I started working on this guy here: http://i.imgur.com/rCUQJlV.png Quite happy with him so far. Current triangle count is 8413, not sure if that's too high or not. Only really planning to do a couple thomas models, and maybe focus on some real trains. Thinking o...

So are these points defined by vertices, or are they different sort of points? Would you also mind posting your track model? It would be handy to make sure everything is in scale.

Are you planning to model actual wheels or use flat planes with a texture over them? Also, how are you able to define the start and end of a loco? As well as the smoke and lights?

This is amazing Gumboots! I'll have to give this a try!

Was this experiment done with hex editing? Or was it exported with a script?

Fantastic work.

Just as a tip, I'd upload .blend files. .blend1, .blend2, etc are backups of the main .blend file. You can rename the backups to .blend and they will work, but it's easier to just upload the original. Congrats for making progress on this stuff. I'll keep checking to see what you have in store for us!

They are going beta now it seems.

Welcome!

Very interesting indeed. Any possibilities of a Trainmaster version? Now if you could make a exporter for .3dp you would be legendary.

Is it just me or does the model have a lot of broken smoothing at the moment?

Even though I'm making Thomas related items for RT3, I'm not as much into Thomas as I used to be. I've grown out of it slightly over the years, but I still do some things with it to keep the kid inside of me happy. I mostly grew out of it due to the horrible fanbase that is raided with kids that don...

When I first installed TM, I noticed it didn't have all of the engines 1.06 had; What I did was take my 1.06 install (which I no longer have) and merge the EngineTypes, PopTopExtraContent together. Up until recently this stopped working.

Odd, I remember seeing the Daylight in TM before.

Alright, I'll take a look at the Daylight skin, but for some reason, half of the locos in 1.06 are not showing at all. I'm using TM to test all of this, but I'm not sure why the others aren't loading. For example, the V2, Black 5, Daylight, and other engines just don't load up at all. Hoping I'm not...

It makes me wonder why the author of the current Black 5 didn't include piston rods. If you look at the beauty shot you can see piston rods in the picture.

Oh, I don't mind waiting at all. I'll continue with another locomotive then.
