Modelling a tramway

[Rich O Brien]

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.

I can see the passion in your work

[Bryan K]

Well done as always! From 3D model to 3D life.

next 3D Print project. 4 trams....

[Rich O Brien]

Are you home printing or order 3D prints online?

[Mike Amos]

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

[jo-ke]

Thank you.

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

a model, I was workin on a few years ago in real surrounding:

Model Sketchup, placed in a real photo with Nano Banana:

Super image, Nano banana, where the funky Gibbons hang out.

[jo-ke]

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:

[Rich O Brien]

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.

@Rich-O-Brien Here are your people....

[jo-ke]

and another one....

"Generate an image of a tramway, driving on tracks in Weinheim in Germany, keep geometrie"

[Rich O Brien]

That's very convincing. Even the fresnel effect looks good.

Doesn't look like a render and to be honest if you said it was a photo I wouldn't 2nd guess it.

[Mike Amos]

Perfect, imho anyway.
