RAILWAY DRAWING
-
Thought i would be finished by now ...but still some way to go...
-
You should bevel some more edges if your laptop can handle it, its always a pain when you want to go further but your computer wont let you!
Those electrical wires on top are great that must have taken forever! You 'HAVE' to render this you know. -
Hi Liam thanks for the comment but you gotta believe that i would dearly like to detail the drivers cab etc but .......my laptop and i are an item
Getting there not to far to go now
-
When I used to use my old PC to model I had the same problem I got around it by making the whole model in about 10 different files then assembled them like a jigsaw to render usually in another app. Its troublesome and takes a long time but it gives good results. Anyway models still look great keep it up!
-
Thanks Lian that is about the method that i am using at the moment but just in SU so my "Assembler File" starts to become rather unwieldy but it is still better than .......a lot of things ha ha

Getting ever closer to finishing, trouble now is every time I look at the model I see something more to add ....and the poly don't stop growing
-
As finished as it is going to be (gotta draw a line in the sand sometime) only thing that i will still do is "paint" it in some or other railroad's livery
Enjoy....
From time to time i will post more detailed views of the loco, thanks for the support and encouragement

Hi dolf, awesome stuff so far, I noticed you experienced high poly problems. When I see the hidden geometry, such as in this image.
Here are some tips:
- Lower segment count a LOT e.g: default 24 to 10 or 12. arc 12 to 4 or 3 (except you want to render)
- Use layers to organize the model; works way faster for me
- Those steps could be double-coloured single faces; lower the poly a lot
Well, those are just my two cents
-
Thanks for the advice Ultimatez 32 i must admit that i have not seriously tried to master layers yet so this i will attend to but as to the low segment count in curves i am often tempted to go the other way 60 segments to a circle for the sake of "realism" ....... it is a failing that i have also getting rig of unseen geometry is somthing that i am very reluctant to do Example remove the left side of the loco if it is viewed from the right...but thanks i can see that you know my delimma

D to the Olf,
It's all good to dream of trains... What monster of human creative discharge.
Interesting at every curve.
For me, the sandwich is the blasting reward, the fantastic steam engine of rewards.
Lately I've been onto a ham, swiss, and yellow mustard jag.
Jack bird love that toasted.
One day, a train I will ejaculate.

To D of the u of the rant...i think that i am getting the message....a small light at the end of the (railway) tunnel.....
"One day, a train I will ejaculate."
we can only wait and see?
Keep on smiling. -
Who is going to guess what my next project is?
Here are 3 clues
-
A tank, tram, old dragline excavator, uhm that thingy that transports you up the mountain on a steel rope
? -
No no no here are 2 more clues....
Marion one of the pieces of equipment you mention is related to this thing ..good try but no cigar
these are not really clues but it is one chance to show off the detail as sadly it won't be very visible when the project is finished -
Another Clue?...no just more detail
