      That came out really good. I was wondering how you got the side image. Panorama shot?

        I took about 30 photos and merged them in photoshop and deleted the windows and filled the texture with AI.

        a also took a 3D Scan but this is not usable

                  Very smart. 3D printing really must have completely disrupted the mini-model market. Never really thought about until I saw your trains.

                  The cost to print vs buying a kit must be an order of magnitude cheaper.

                            jo-ke. With this sort of project you are indeed the Mr Kipling of render/build. You make exceedingly good (Cake) projects.

                              Thank you.

                              A friend of mine, working at the Tramway company is printing it for me.

                                      I think the complete workflow will change.

                                      this took me less than one minute... look at the consistance of the details of my model!!

                                      Prompt: "Generate an image of a tramway, driving on tracks in a landscape between Mannheim and Heidelberg in Germany, keep geometrie"

                                      SU to nano banana:

                                        Have you tried motion blur prompts or adding seated passengers?

                                        Maybe a prompt to add very subtle weathering to the model.

                                        The shadowing across the grass is very good as is the AO between tracks and train.
