        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.

            Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹
            I’m new here, so first of all, greetings to all of you. 😊
            I’d like to ask if it’s possible to get or purchase a 3D model of the DΓΌwag GT8 tram.
            I’ve seen some amazing work by one of the users here who creates 3D tram models, so I thought this would be the best place to ask.
            I’m specifically looking for this model for visualization purposes.

            Thanks in advance for any info!

                I took this old photo of an old tramway:

                2025-10-11 08.28.30.jpg

                In Nano Banana I colorized the picture:

                the I took it to meshy.ai to make a 3D Model and uploaded it to Sketchfab:

                download to sketchup

                and rendered it in SU diffusion: (not satisfied)

                                        This is really a fun project.

                                        From start to end less then 24 hours.

                                        Im former times (15 years ago) we had something like speedmodelling- challenge at sketchucation. I do it sometimes for me to practice.
