F40PH Unread post

Since I figured out how you can use blender to modify .3dp files, I've been learning the ways of blender by working on an F40PH. I'm still a bit unsure with the cab but I think it will look a lot better when I get the texture fixed on it.

Since redoing the cab messed up the textures, I need to go though the tedious task of remapping a good portion of the triangles manually as .3ds and .3dp seem to list triangles differently and I can't directly copy over like I can with the points. Not something i'm really looking forward to.

Also, Heres a comparison to the FP45.

I hope I can find more time to work on it but things are looking to get pretty busy.

It looks good so far. Being from Chicago and constantly seeing Metra's F40PHs in action I'm partial towards the Metra colors :P


Good luck on the repainting and any future engine development. Hopefully you'll have time :) More skins and locomotives always make RT3/TM more fun/interesting with more selection of which engine to chose and are much appreciated.
