      Once MeshyAI figures out UV Maps it will be game changer. Both those engines look great though!

        @jo-ke said in Modelling a tramway:

        Im former times (15 years ago) we had something like speedmodelling- challenge

        I miss that.
        It was super fun.

          the file is heavy but sketchup can handle it.

          a quick render in Nano Banana.

                it is so nice to see when plans develop to reality.
                I've made that planing for the tramwaycompany at 2022:

                https://www.google.com/maps/@49.8414304,8.6559948,379a,35y,335.42h,51.64t/data=!3m1!1e3?authuser=0&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
                current status:

                    quick idea of a working tramway. Model in sketchup with parts of the existing tramway, rendered in Twinmotion postprocess in Nano banana.

                    Total time: 2 hours, modelling and rendering

                    su model

                    twinmotion:
                    Image1.jpg

                    final output

                      since I've "known" you, I can only see the trams at home (your Darmstadt work above) in a SketchUp modelling process!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

                                  unfortunately it is a coworking project of a group of people, so I can't share the file.
