Didn't want anyone to think that I'd been resting on my laurels! Wanting to build out the area around Eglinton station, I went and shelled out...
This one's easy! You actually don't need a plugin to do that. Both blender and 3dsmax will natively produce files from your models, in many...
So yes, as I promised, here's how to export a skeletal mesh asset from the editor, for closer examination (note: might not work for absolutely...
Thanks for the great suggestions so far! I wish I was sure whether or not the European asset pack was part of the base game, I honestly haven't...
That would certainly be an option, but I've been trying to build my route with original and store-bought assets, so that anyone interested will...
Hi everybody! This is probably something fairly simple, but I'm looking at buying a foliage asset pack that has wind effects, as well as seasonal...
Are you certain you didn't accidentally move your tracks? Just a guess.
Thanks for the link, I actually collected HO scale for a bit when I was younger! (For what it's worth, I can tell you for a fact they got almost...
Nice to see someone else working on a southern Ontario route. My Toronto subway route will be stuck firmly 70 years in the past, so you won't have...
If it's crazy and it works, it's not crazy!
Well, it's a busy time at work, but I have managed to make a little bit of progress. [ATTACH][ATTACH] Please have your fare ready! As an aside,...
Sounds like DTG didn't add a check for that in the formation spawning routine. It could be solved if any of it is exposed in the editor (probably...
Looks like it's coming along nicely! Sometimes modelling the smaller details can be a pain, but I find that they contribute a lot to the final...
Mine seemed to have an update, my guess would be they worked out a couple of stability issues, or something along those lines.
my Christmas 2023 progress on my Toronto subway route
Christmas progress on Toronto route - YouTube by pwilson79 posted Dec 23, 2023 at 11:24 PMAn early Christmas entry for my creation diary. Eglinton...
Tomas9970 makes an excellent point about using what you are familiar with. As for me, I switched from 3DSMax to Blender after college, mainly...
I don't know about anybody else, but I find myself making less progress as the holiday season takes hold. It's not necessarily a bad thing;...
No pic of Davisville yard, I'm afraid; I still need to fix a thing or two with my track. (thanks to pierrechi for the tips regarding...
Thanks so much! Guess I cut too many corners in my approach, so-to-speak. I'll be checking that out when I get back to it this evening. Have a...
My track is behaving nicely.... Except for the sleepers under my switches. I'm currently using the same geometry for "Super Sleeper: Sleeper...
as my mum would say: "Aye, there's the rub." The textures for all of the DLC content, locos and carriages included, are kind of baked into their...
I don't think there's any way of doing that, short of re-texturing the interior to fit the existing UV maps. (At least that's the least intensive...
Another busy weekend, but at least I've managed to get my custom track looking a bit more like the real deal (authentic spacing of the third rail,...
glad to see they're up and running again, no more need to juggle our internet connections between off to start Epic, and then back on to get the...
no problem, I needed the laugh. I think I will edit it, though!
so yeah, right now (December 2nd, 2023) Epic is having a major outage on everything except their actual website. Can't launch the PC editor. I was...
Looking pretty darn good! I skipped around in the video quite a bit, so I may have missed something, but are you planning on telling us how you...
And on top of that, Tomas 9970, if you are working on an asset and start feeling burnt out, you can often use what you have made so far as a...
I'm still trying to work out what the requirements are for the track loft to work. Like you, I had some success in exporting a rail from an...
Not sure if you were able to work out the buffer animations, but in a week or two (or thereabouts) I'll be looking at them myself, to see if I can...
Life is keeping me busy this weekend, but I made some progress with texturing in Eglinton station. I want to make the 3 levels (platform,...
I'm on my phone, away from my computer, but I believe either the track loft descriptor, track rules (or both,) have a checkbox for "track has...
More of a suggestion, but let's have more in-depth tooltips when hovering over parameters or values in the TSW- specific tools, please.
Hopefully that's something they'll work on for version 2 of the editor.
worked great! I just needed to remember to change the texture sample type to mip-map derivative:[ATTACH]
Hey everybody! Just found out last night about the "TextureVariation" node, and had to spread the word: [ATTACH] Here's what it did for the...
I Haven't (quite) started setting up the signalling, but basically yes, it's the same setup, at least in 1954. Automatic fixed-block and...
As much fun as that would be, I think the 12 original stations are going to pose enough of a challenge for me! At least with the detail and...
Just a quick update. Having spent the better part of a day figuring out a Blender-to-PC Editor miscommunication about UV mapping (nothing an extra...
Pretty sure that you mentioned in your terrain guide that QGIS could download SRTM data on its own, but I may be mis-remembering. It would be...
Man, that sucks, to put it mildly. I know it would be lower resolution, but would it be worth going with SRTM data?
I just noticed this post and wanted to say it looks quite helpful! I'll be looking it over this weekend for sure! I look forward to eventually...
Just a brief update. I was off from work today, so I did some lofting. Quite pleased with how it turned out...[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [MEDIA]
well, I'm note sure why to be honest, but it looks like you've created multiple landscapes. You can probably just delete the extras, so long as...
I would make a new layer in your landscape material using your ballast texture, and paint the ballast texture by hand. Other than making a new...
Looks like you're off to a good start!
It seems I've given myself the task of re-creating the T.T.C. Subway, and Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company "Gloucester" G-1 subway...
Thanks for the kind words! I'm trying to get my track together first, to avoid having to re-lay it all. I may have something to show for it by the...
Today I found out we can just make our own Ribbon loft Descriptors: [ATTACH] Goodnight all, and Happy Hallowe'en!
