Request for help on modeling

PascalP · 6. August 2013

Hello,

I am looking for some good documentation about modeling for TS2013. I have started building a steam locomotive, but I really don't know which shaders to apply for which piece of the locomotive as well as setting up the blueprints. I can import a single piece (a cylinder or a box) to TS, but I cannot get a complete assembly (like in the screen below) to load in the asset editor.

I know there is a wiki from railsimulator but it is far from complete, therefore I ask everybody over here for some help.

Some very early WIP screenshot:

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Do you know the Modeling forums in UKTS eg. here?
There is a lot of Links eg. for 3D canvas for MSTS, but most of the infos are similar to RW.
Very imortand the naming of the parts (--> developer-Wicki) and how to grup the parts for Export.
Good Luck

Thanks! That's a lot of reading.

I will keep you informed.

While reading about naming etc., I am still busy further detailing the loco. Still very early WIP

Hi Pascal,

I want to start making models too. I have to start at zero because I have no 3D design experience at all...

I did find this:
http://thegradecrossing.blogsp…orks-locomotives.html?m=1

Seems like a pretty good manual including blueprintstuff etc... Uses 3d crafter, what do you use?

I hope to start building a Swiss SBB lok but first need to buy 3d software...

Cheers!

Have you see from RSC Developer Docs (PDF) ?

Hi Ice and Ouwetrekveer,

I have seen the Developer docs, which are a bit outdated, but provide some good basic information.

Regards,

Pascal

Pascal, ...
Yes that's true but it is enough to understand how to integrate objects in the TS2013.
RSC as little information to authors.

The remarks by Derek Sieddle in this thread are certainly intresting. Even if their interest in rolling stock is higher.
