My graphic settings are all high and i play the game in "hardware-mode".

Will also doing a "red" version of it:

The red versiom doesn't exist in RL, but I like it! These trams could use some lights, by the way.

Vester,

What I've seeing so far are like gems to my eyes ! The front faces of your trams and the device between cars are just whow.

You answer to Girafe some time ago about Paris modern trams

Girafe: At the moment I am not in the mood for modeling

How about, without modeling, using RATP's colors and logo on yours  ?

[Girafe]

For tram T3 from Paris, I will motivate Orange to moddeling and I will make the skins it was one of former project
so we will see

Thanks for your comments.

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:

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.

The red versiom doesn't exist in RL, but I like it! These trams could use some lights, by the way.

Well I know it doesn't exist, but thought it looked cool, when I a picture that came up in a picture search for Randstadrail:


Did tell you that the lights was missing:

That's amazing work vester

[Kenworth]

So Arne, i will show you an ingame-pic of your LVB2-Tram

[vester]

That looks like a great picture. You should post it in the SC4 Picture Competition


Played around with the Network South East.
Couldn't make it work.

Playing around with London Underground and London Overground

Might still do a London Underground version in the colors of Network South East:
65507 at Bank LUL station
A Waterloo & City Line train being lifted off the line by crane, 2006

[vester]

Have done some more London trains:


London Overground:


London Underground, 1:

Might add a little more red to the bottom of the sides on the last one. What do you think ?

[vester]

Updated the last skin a bit:

[vester]

Girafe and Une_ame here you have a Tram Parisiens:


Have also done a version of it with a solid color under the windows:

[Une_ame]

OMG.

Soooooo lovely.





2nd is awesome, the 1st one is perfect.

[Girafe]

It s so good that even if the model 3d is not the real one, the textures makes all and the tram looks like so real

many thanks Vester 

[puresim]

Une_ame is a happy customer

Adding the red line to the Underground 2 skin did improve the look.

[vester]
