Maybe you remember this from loooong ago... :)
This is just the white molded plastic piece. Obviously the windows,
lights, etc have not been added yet. The chassis has a ways to go, I
have the wheels & gear trains modelled and the metal plate the cab goes
on, but I need to model the railings and the motor casings, which are
rather complex.
Render time drastically sped up after I went through and manually bound
a bunch of CSGs. I started this project long ago before I thought much
about bounding... (11m to 3m)

My Uncle would love this, he's got an H scale train that goes around
his front yard. He even dug a tunnel through the front steps.

Will look more impressive in an actual scene, if only for the sheer
length of the train I plan to make.

Looks real good, like you say, some way to go yet but it's
looking very promissing.

Thanks! When this is done I have to make at least one car for a train.
Expect finished product in 2005.

Got the metal deck w/ railings done. And that includes the bump map, ya know,
this pattern:
--- | --- | ---
| --- | --- |
--- | --- | ---
| --- | --- |
but at a 45 degree angle. I rendered the bump map in POV, the pigment function
is just a big composite of if(,,)'s, then tiled and rotated 45 degrees for the
deck. :)
Railings consist of 6 prisms: 2 w/ 52 points, 44, 48, 91, 87. Phew! (wipes
sweat off forehead) The cut-out sections are kinda rounded so they took a lot
of points. The angled portions required trig to keep the width constant, trig
is hard for me, I gotta draw a picture for it. After coding half of the last
two prisms, I realized I had made the cutouts 23.5mm wide instead of 20.5.
Oops. Redid a bunch of numbers.
And I realize I am writing a blog entry of sorts. Oh well.

Nice project, looks promising.
But be warned: You'll never know at what level the detail should go
to. My train (tram) from fullsize blueprints took over 3 years to get
to the current stage and I have still to improve internal details
below around 4"/8cm for the internal shots (follow the train link on
my Freeserve frontpage).
Hope I get to see your finished pic.

Heh, yeah. For me it's how much effort I'm willing to put in. I of course
only do fine detailing on the exposed areas. The detail is quite enough
for my plans right now I think.
> Hope I get to see your finished pic.
I have the deck, wheels, and couplers done now (I think my coupler looks
pretty nice too :), so I only have to add the clear plastic parts on the
part posted, grates, windows and lights. Oh yeah, and the ladder on the
back.
Once I get a car modelled I plan to randomly alter the texture a bit and
make a looooong train. Got ten gigs of RAM I can borrow? ;)
