Title: VDK GLR Trains
Post by: vester on June 24, 2008, 09:13:17 AM
Have started working on a new round of trams. These will be release in a package together with my old lightrail trains.

Some of you might remember them:

The GLR Yellow Line

MTS Green Line, San Diego

and the Houston Metrorail:

Looking around the archive I found the old files and decided to revised the Houston Metrorail, becauce the sides on them wasn't to my liking any more.
And when I got going a quickly had a couple of more trains.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg162.imageshack.us%2Fimg162%2F6396%2Feurotramsv1xw2.jpg&hash=8351c7edc5bfd160d01dc026a97df0e128d40439)
A few pictures from iLive Reader.

Might end up with a few more colours, but that will be it. Then it's back to the cathedral or the harbour bus.

They will be release as a small package, just like my tram package.


Let me hear what you think.

Really nice variations  ()stsfd() . They will make a nice addtion to the original set  :thumbsup:


I was wondering.... the silver model has some sot of reflection on the front... is this ok?¿, I ask only because the other models do not have it  ::)  ;D

Now we're going to need GLR tracks with them whatchamacallies, er, I think they are called cathenaries, built in.

I could use that for ordinary rail rails, too.

Hi Arne,

I think you know how much I like your trams  :) and these are very nice indeed.  A totally different feel from the Amsterdam trams I used in Kingly - much more "modern" looking.  Can I be cheeky and ask if it's possible to do one in the colours of the West End falg, i.e. claret and blue.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg516.imageshack.us%2Fimg516%2F6200%2Fflagwestenduv1.jpg&hash=a72c6024b7376d3a21effea910ed6745cb05c4c0)

They would work well in some of the other West End cities that do not have the Amsterdam trams.

If not, no problem as I will use one of your other varieties.

Thanks and all the best

Paul

I am VERY impressed at how quick you do these.

Now if only you can get Roskilde Cathederal finished as quickly  ;) :D ;)

Great work here - as always,

Post by: vester on June 26, 2008, 10:40:37 PM
Well, it's  quickly because I work with layers in PhotoShop. I just need to change the colours of a few layers.
Some layer are just a solid colour with an alpha.

The Cathedral need a lot more work on the other hand. Got no plan of finish it fast.

Post by: paroch on June 27, 2008, 11:55:07 AM
hehehe,

Arne, I know that Roskilde Cathederal is a much bigger project.  Forgive me it's my very sarcastic sense of humour!

I think you know from my comments in the Roskilde thread how much I am enjoying watching the project and I know that it will be ready when it is ready  :thumbsup:

All the best for all of your projects.

Well, first I need a picture, and second I don't take request this time around.
Why I did one for Paroch, was as a favour.

It has nothing to do with BATting. It's more a question of changing the skins.


At the moment I am working on get the base texture for the car done.

Have got the texture refitted to the model of the car and done the texture:

What do you think, Paroch ?
Title: Re: VDK GLR Trains
Post by: paroch on June 29, 2008, 10:23:37 AM
They're both very good.  I think my preference is the top one.  The light blue on the outside just makes the whole tram look a little brighter.  Just a trick on the eyes I think.

Title: Re: VDK GLR Trains
Post by: Glenni on June 30, 2008, 09:31:10 AM
It looks very good so far, i especially like the way you make the windows, using "fake" reflections and interior shots, it makes it look so much better than just having plain blue or grey for windows. :)
Title: Re: VDK GLR Trains
Post by: Monorail Master on July 01, 2008, 08:58:50 AM
These are the trains for the Norfolk-VA Beach line which is called Tide Light Rail. The train which they are using the Avanto Trams by Siemens. The picture of the train they're using is below.

P.S. The colors of the trains are just like the buses pictured below. And the company name is HRT(Hampton Roads Transit)


Title: Re: VDK GLR Trains
Post by: vester on July 01, 2008, 09:38:26 AM
Not saying I am doing theme, but if I do, it still not going to be a true copy of it. The wave will only be on the first car (the engine) and not on the second, due to the lack of control.
Third: I will not make a special model for it, I will just use the same as shown above.
Second I could use some better pictures. maybe one of the front and some of the side. Straight on the side is preferred.

Well Arne, what a pic - you should be proud of that one.  GLR station and trams by Vester.

With the way the two trams are passing on the corner, plus the amusing addition of the "body" at the top of the pic, I think that would do very well in the picture competition.

West End is going to be very proud to see those trams zipping around our cities.

Well, yes that is possible. The length was choicen by one in the NAM a long time ago. Longer cars looked weird going round the sharp 1x1 tile turns there is in GLR.

Inspired by some pictures I saw of Bybanen (the Bergen Light Rail), I have started working on a new tram model:

It's a light rail network still under construction.

I will do two more versions, one like this:

Well, I told you this in private already, but I guess I should post it here as well... I really liked Arne's (vester's) new tram model, but admittedly, I didn't like the gap between the cars, so I asked if there was something to prevent that. This was when Jan (Swamper77) stepped in and offered his help, with an amazing result as pictured above. Splendid work, you two - you are truly the masters of custom automata. :)

Hey Vester,
I haven't been in here for awhile....I feel very bad, especially after I look at all these great pics.
I do wonder, though, if it's possible to add some sort of texture so they look not so brand new.  And the white sometimes looks too bright.  Other than that, I love how they look.
Great work my friend.  &apls

These are really great vester. It's hard for me to choose a favourite one. I wonder if you would consider making a replica of the trams in Bordeaux, France. They use a ground level power supply (so no need for the catenary aerials). The look is similar to some you have already produced, but not quite the same.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi597.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt56%2Fjoelyboy911%2FTram_Bordeaux.jpg&hash=757a2c49b04dc54a1251379de6d86ad267d9e83d)

Though it has a push-me-pull-you type system, I think I speak for the collective when I say that no-one minds the fact that this is impossible to achieve in SC4.

My plan is release this in a bigger pack. That would include updates the old light rail trains, update to the new standard.
Here I am thinking of some of the old one, which are no longer on line like: Yellow Line, MTS, Houston Metro Rail.
Togther with with the EuroTram inspired skins you see earlier in this thread.

At the moment I am a bit busy at work and my neck is still acting up, but getting better non the less (Well I do hope so).
After that, I am moving to Copenhagen, to the neighbourhood called Vesterbro (http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=55.667976,12.552169&spn=0.018564,0.030899&t=h&z=15). :D

I might find some time some where in-between everything, as I did with another project (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=3009.msg255917#msg255917).

You know how in your previous tram mod (I think) it was also possible to select 'Other Trams'. Could this be done with this mod so that there could be lightrail trains and trams/streetcars circulating at the same time on the same routes?

Sorry can't be done. That was just a one unit mod. That would mean the game would mix up the cars and engine installed at random.

For me, it's still new and fresh. ;) I do like the "bike" sign on the doors in particular. Usually, you'd find the bike compartment somewhere in the middle or at the end, but I realize that you can't add it to any tram car, as it would show up everywhere.

When doing automata modeling, just remember the KISS principle: Keep it simple stupid.

If you look at my trams, there some things that could be modeled, but aren't.
It's done with alpha channels on the textures.

Let's have a look at the pantograph:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi40.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fe242%2Fvester_DK%2FTrams_sr%2FPantograph.jpg&hash=e551a507b0b406f2e999560d958ab1bd5a310f03)
As you see it's just planes with textures on. I could have modeled all the pipes, but why ?
BTW: There are two layers, as the textures is transparent seen from the back side.
So an extra layer is needed to get the textures to show from the backside.

I download yout tram as soon as it was realesed and I found a little anomaly: As you can see on the pic above, when the tram stops at the station, the first car (the only one in that case) looks rearward. When the tram is between 2 stations, everything goes back to normal. Have you ever see that ?????

I have seen that with my mods and the sc4 trains as well.

Swamper says that there is nothing to do about it.

I keep on using your tram ( &apls) and never seeing the same result again... Strange.

Thank you one more time for your (good) work :thumbsup:.
