Looking very good!

Is your tram released yet, because I've been searching for it, but haven't found anything yet

Do you mean the Vienna one or the Amsterdam ones?

BarbarossaS · May 12, 2009, 06:30:47 AM

Both

You can find the Amsterdam ones here.

The one from Vienna is in the attachments of this post.

Btw this is my first HD prop a nice opportunity to test it.

Amazing the difference between old and new.

Wow, that is indeed quite a difference!

Thanks a lot for the links, now I can finally use these darn good creations from you!

is this tram usable as is? I mean will it replace my current GLR tram?

Looking sharp!

Glad you could do the HD thing.

I had a question for you. I noticed unlike most of the people here, you use Sketchup to model for SC4, personnally I never touched any modelling but since a few days I've been tinkering with the idea of giving it a try. The thing is GMAX for someone who has never done any modelling seems a bit daunting but Sketchup looks more user friendly

I started doing the official tutorials for it and I'm liking it. but I have a few questions, how do you scale your models for Sc4 using sketchup? I mean do you simply use meters and that will export correctly to sc4?

Also is there any tips or tutorial for sketchup used for SC4 somewhere?
Do you recommand I use GMAX even tho it seems hard to get into?

I hope I'm not going too much off topic... If I am feel free to remove my post.

thanks

Well, it's much harder to export models with Sketchup than with gMax. You'll need gMax either way. I use gMax for all my traffic BATs and it works well. Maybe you should search for tutorials in the Omnibus on SimTropolis. Hope it helps!

Best,
Maarten

I've never used Sketchup, but I find the BAT easy to use once you get the hang of a few basic things (and I had never done any 3-d modelling before it) which seem like they would be pretty standard for any modelling for the game. If you choose to go the GMAX/BAT route, I highly recommend the BAT Essentials Tutorial by Phillippbo over at ST. It is probably one of the clearest, most comprehensive guides to BAT creation.

Here's a tutorial for converting models from GSU to the BAT:

Clicky

Something new in WIP:

moin ehbk2006,

oh, there it was (the tutorial), once i thought about it, because i wanted to show someone the right way to do it! thanx a lot, mate!
btw. the new locomotive looks breathtaking, it's a same that SC4 is not fully 3D!
are you gonna leave the rack for the weels as it is, or you still working on it?

cheers

ehbk2006 · July 11, 2009, 05:16:29 AM

Still working on it. Adding more details is the next fase.

Leodido · July 12, 2009, 12:33:06 AM

thanks for the advice guys.

Also very nice model there ehbk2006.

One more question how do I turn your models in automata?

ehbk2006 · July 12, 2009, 11:23:58 AM

No idea tbh. I'm still waiting for a descent tutorial.

That's looking relly good,i like the details....but isn't it easyer to model it in gmax from the start???

it is much more easier to create models in SketchUp since it was made to be simple for the non 3d artist user. hehe...
