So I'm running out of ideas for the next powerline to make. Most new powerline ideas that I'm finding are too similar to what I've already made....
After a lot of tweaking...and size shrinking, I managed to get Powerline #7 of 10 finished. This type of powerline is basically an slightly...
Here is the pre-textured powerline #7. I've had a little problem with sizing and proper proportions. This seems to happen when you model directly...
Now on to Powerline #7... I found this one in my old stomping grounds of Harrisburg, Pa. I recall these used to made of wood in the 1970's. At...
Power Line #6 is finished and in the books! Yes, I did miss some cross members. :| It was no problem to add them at the last minute. [IMG] [IMG]...
Looks like this power line is finished...now for some texturing. I'll take one least look to see if I missed any cross members...there were a lot...
I tested and I don't see any flickering what so ever. Usually flicking is an indication that you have model faces occupying the same space as each...
Oh, I see what you are saying now. I want to check to see if I get that flickering...I never noticed it before. I'll report back on this.
I'm not sure of the height of the tower. I did add a 6ft man into the Blender scene so I can eye up the over all measurements. I did start by...
Thanks, I will be looking into how to make a editable sign in these docs. I may need too learn that process for some possible future projects.
Power line 6 of 10 is coming along nicely. I built from ground up and as I got to the top area of the tower, I noticed that the proportions didn't...
Here is Power line #6... [IMG] I actually started on another tower but found this one. This looks like a more interesting build. This will be...
Powerline #5 is finished and in the books. I'm halfway along in finishing this powerline pack. The next powerline is back to some good old fashion...
Power Line #5...Not too bad if I say so myself. All that is needed now is the wire connecters and the textures. I should have this wrapped up by...
This power line will be target #5. It appears to be "Big Bertha's" more contemporary and smaller mini me. I am having a problem with the shape of...
Here is the fourth powerline in my collection. I seen this power line pop up in a lot in pictures from the 1950's in this area. So why not model...
I also used his tutorials to get started making content. I wish he was still making videos. Sadly there is not much out there on this topic. What...
Powerline #3 went pretty fast...how about that tubular type of power line. I first remember seeing these in the early to mid 1970's. [IMG]
Round #2, Big Bertha has arrived. [IMG] This is my biggest tower to date. Poly count on this monster is 27,328. About 10,000 less then the first...
I was successful in getting the first power line into TSC by using the same blueprints as the power poles. I did make a thicker wire for these...
The first powerline model has been cleaned up and it is ready for exporting into TSC. [IMG] While I still need to do some testing on this model, I...
I guess I'm on my own with this. It's ok, I'm used to it.
In my next adventure in modeling content for TSC, I'm looking at making power lines, some call them transmission line or even high voltage lines....
Ok, the streetlight #2 pack is now complete. 15 streetlight on wooden light poles from various eras. You can download this pack from my web...
Here are 14 streetlights for this pack lined up for your viewing pleasure. [IMG] For the last light in the pack, I've decided to make a...
Here the next streetlight...another rare one, depending on which part of the country you are in. [IMG] This light is a Westinghouse Viscount...
For the first alley light of this pack, I started out with a bit of an odd-ball type streetlight. [IMG] It's actual name is the GE Form 110so. A...
Added two streetlights to the pack today, 2 poles with long sweep arm mast and supports. These streetlights are very common in my area these days....
Quick update-I forgot to post this yesterday. Here is the ole time GE Form #6 streetlight from the 1920's. I have it attached to a pole in this...
Could be your graphics card is about to go.
The last street light was an old one, but this one is even older. [IMG] This one has it's origins all the way back into the 1920's. Some of the...
Here is one for the old timers. I recall seeing these street lights up until the very early 1970's in this area. I'm sure most areas replaced...
I have the first four street lights done in this second pack. Since I'm getting familiar with making these street lights in Blender, I'm testing...
Let's not forget the classic radial wave streetlight! One of my favorites. Tried to give it that incandescent color look. [IMG]
I hope not because I just getting started in it. It's one of the very few train sims that has a decent world editor in it.
This is in the texture / influence tab in Blender 2.79. I unchecked color and turned on normal button for the normal texture in the second slot. I...
So you say you want some realistic streetlighting on your route? Well, I'll give you that chance with this content pack. In this streetlight pack,...
I have a few route plans on my web site, but there is nothing set in concrete. I thought I might start out with some kind of smaller model...
So BDW Streetlight Pack #1 is finished and available for download on my web site. [IMG] [IMG] Next I'll be working on a big pack of wooden pole...
Well it has been a busy day...Here are the last two metal pole highway lights, and the last two of my first street light pack. These are the...
Here is the next set of lights in the Streetlight Pack #1. Once again a single and double lamp version of a highway light with a GE Form109 light...
I first noticed this two days ago, but only found out that it was TSC causing the issue today.
Here is the next set of highway lights for my Streetlight Pack. This is older version of the previous highway light set. These have the VO-20...
Yes, every time I fire up TSC I get a warning from Windows 11 saying a threat was found. I scan and find nothing.
I would kind of like to know that myself. I see some radio towers being made in the future.
Here is metal lights Number 8 and 9, These are a curved arch variety highway light both in a single and double light setup. [IMG] [IMG] Still...
While I can make light versions with warmers lights with no problem, I opted out of adding a point light with these poles. Mainly because the...
That didn't take long. Here is a double light version of the last highway light. It's now a matching set. [IMG] Another set is next.
Continuing to work on the metal streetlight pack, I'm now focused on highway and parking lot type streetlight. This next light is the typical...
Did some testing on this shader. I found out that it does work when you have the normal tab checked in the influence panel in Blender. The big...
