    Good luck trying to get someone to do custom assets for free as I will assure you if you ask anyone who still makes assets for TSC they would ask to be paid for the work

    Hi,

    I just wanted to show you all a quick screenshot of an area I worked on today:

    I'm quite enjoying working on this part of the route and I hope it comes across in the quality of the scenery.

    Thanks,
    Anson

    I have some screenshots to share with you today :) I've been particularly obsessive with the tree/bush distance from the track. In these images, the trees and bushes are particularly overgrown to the railway, someone often found doen this and the Fishguard Harbour branch.

    Today's Work:

    24010_1.jpg

    Haverfordwest (Hwlffordd) Station Sign; in-game

    24010_95.jpg

    Johnston station sign; in-game

    24010_96.jpg

    Clarbeston Road station sign; in-game.

    I've been a lot more motivated lately to make assets for the route. Currently it's just the stations signs, but I hope to have a custom model for each station, alongside a healthy collection of random assets, for the Phase 1 release. If you're wondering what I use to make the models, I use Blender version 2.79.7 with the BRIAGE plugin (exports to TS's needs) and GIMP version 3.2. They are not the best for TS, but I am not spending £150+ a month on Auto Desk 3ds Max alone, just to release if for freeware. Obsviously, there are other free alternatives, the most supported by DTG being 3D Crafter, although it is quite confusing and un-intuitive to use in my opinion. Anyway, enough waffling on, I hope you like the look of these station signs, and if you want to contribute the route, go to my website or DM me on discord (ansonrailstudios)

    Thanks for Reading,
    Anson
