Here it is, in p.b.i, after getting lost in p.u.p for a few seconds...!
My first car. M-K-T Missouri-Kansas-Texas line "The Katy serves the
Southwest". And by chance same region as the Kansas City Southern
locomotive so my train'll look somewhat intelligent. :)
Ignore that the car is hovering over the reflective plane... ;)
This was nothing compared to the locomotive! Obviously lots and lots of
loops to place rivets etc. Hmm, now I can make a boring train with one
car tiled to the horizon. I could just create new image_maps and have a
two boxcar train, but my non-functioning scanner means eyeballing
everything by hand on top of a plan render again. At least my Santa Fe
car doesn't have any script on it, so no more b-spline polygons with 80
points...
There is a minor texture alignment problem. You wouldn't be able to tell
except where it says "BLT 1-92 LIONEL" by the door, that should be
entirely within the recessed portion. The other half lines up and is
basically the same image, but it turns out that to rotate one side to
match the other side the axis is not right in the middle, it's at 0.3*x
(out of a car length of 24 units). Gets hard for me to keep 2996 lines
of code organized.
Anyone care to make me a track landscape? j/k ;)
