Yes I know that one. Thank you. Last weekend it was the last day of these streetcars in our city.

this one is goinig to be modelled someday...

I have one of the same company but differnt type....

Those are beautiful. Always sad to see reliable older infrastructure consigned to history.

Especially after decades service. I understand the need to modernise but I find the design choices for the replacement tech is dull and lacks character.

I love to see engineering and mechanics.

@Rich-O-Brien

We are happy, that we were able to preserve one Model of each gerneration. This was hard enough.

these are still able to run: (current pictures)

@jo-ke I am wondering how do you do the texturing!

jo-ke · 27 Feb 2025, 16:43

@majid in which case? In sketchup?

majid · 3 Jan 2025, 13:31

The rusted one... It seems a nightmare to be textured!

jo-ke · 3 Feb 2025, 14:13

@majid Ah, OK I see.

luckily this is a 3D Scan of an existing one, so it is porperly textured

majid · 2 Mar 2025, 15:27

Oh yes, otherwise it would be a real nightmare to texture such a thing.

The result is great! Shot selection I really liked. The building remained the hero element in every angle so noticing the imported 3D buildings was largely avoided.

You must be delighted with the end result!

Thank you rich.

and here's a shot

I am also so impressed
Do you know what's really bad JoKe? Of course the building plays the main role - but I constantly look at all the things around it and ask myself ‘how does this guy do it?!?
Probably a thing among us here, knowing about the effort and skill it takes to do it all in this quality I guess
Yes, great
