I have a few thingies that I did, flowers, structures, trellis, animals. Only thing is, I'm not that great at maniuplating the tools in RE, so I only put a few in--started to get frustrated trying to turn the trellis around. Bill suggested that I go ahead and upload some of the things, I made them for SV. The animals aren't animated and only 2d at this point. I am trying to do that animation for several, its very slow going. But anyway, if anyone would like any of these things...Assorted Fish growing biweekly
Flowers about six different ones
trellis with roses 1
Seaweed about 4
--not getting the structures sorry those are for SV--
horses 2
Just reply to this thingy with a thingy of your own-- yeah, that's it... and I'll umm upload.. Damn too many auburn moments today... Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 1Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 2
NOTE::: If I could manipulate the tools better you'd see they aren't so dark or so far into the ground ~laugh~ but they want to go one way and I want to go another or do odd angles so I try not to mess with them too much "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Those aren't thingies, those are whatchamacallits! And I don't see any roses, dark, light, or indifferent. Any potential for making something like that as a "clump" object, for a clump of thingies/weeds/whatchamacallits/flowers/whatever?Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 5I've been fiddling with weed forest regions, but it's hard to get a lot of density right alongside the tracks without tanking the framerates. And rectangular thingies don't work and play well with curved track either.

RE: Errr... Umm... whatchamacallits

That's one I'm currently working on, with the capable assistance of the famous Scott "Remipit" Miller.http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID6/6145.htmlI'm working on PO&N6 right now so I don't have Xtracks or any other routes installed at the moment, but didn't Teemu or somebody do some rail textures that looked like the heads were rounded off? That's sorta what I'm trying to do with these, the defaults look too wide and squared off for my tastes.Back on topic, where'd sugar&spice run off to? You gotta make some rosebushes, complete with BIG thorns, it's your namesake! Sharp, too! Ouch!

Whoa. I'm capable, famous, AND get a nickname all in one post. "Remipit" sounds like the noise a frog with the hiccups makes. I guess it's too late now to rename it.

Give me a few days and they'll be uploaded along with a few other things. You're welcome about Plant Studio, though I haven't tried to import to TSM yet, I think PatM41 has.And in reference to the post to Sniper.. I do have coconut 3d models ~chuckle~ to upload.

Egad! She Sells Sea Shells on the Seaview! Hubba-hubba! Still, I dunno, something fishy about that girl.
I like the cocohead, gonna steal that for my signature logo.I'm looking at another one now, I've been fiddling with Dickey Tarkington's reeds (he keeps wiggling, claims it tickles) trying to make weed objects out of those:Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 10I can't do those 3Dcanvas thingamies, so I'm stuck cloning from shapes other people make. These ain't bad, could be stacked together along with some 3D bush objects to fill in the gaps. Worst trouble is getting something that stands up to close inspection right alongside the track without tanking the framerates, I suspect a filled object that big would push the polygon count too high.Look out, here it comes, I warned ya I was gonna steal it for my signature logo...

Hee-hee, gotta get Rich to do the advertising, I ain't that good at it.
I got a dozen projects going all at once here, Rich and I are working on more weeds and dead trees, and all that triggered another idea, the "haunted forest"!Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 14
This is the kind of silly things I do when I get bogged down in tedious stuff like serious art, keeps me from going crazy and seeing mermaids. I'll probably leave that in PO&N6, it was just a "blowing off steam" project, but it actually looks pretty good. Now I gotta make a "Yellow Brick Road" track texture.

RE: Hey, who stole the subject line?

If we had any sanity to begin with we wouldn't have kept battering our heads against the route editor after the first hundred crashes! Sanity is over rated anyway, boring as hell. Speaking of crazy, there's a guy in the general forum hunting for you, wants to skin a 380 for Seaview.http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/2242.html

Can't help it, the guy leaves good stuff sitting around unlocked like that. So I repaint it and half the time he never notices it's missing!

RE: Hey, who stole the subject line?

Just curious Darkest Rose if you could possibly post some pics of the horses that you said you had created in that pack. Horses would be useful when I get out to the Lancaster or West Chester PA area. I was wondering what the horses looked like or if you might be interested in adding a horse and buggy to your horses for the Amish Country out there? Nice pics by the way, looks good. George.

Here are a few, they are based on Poser Animals and things. Mind you they are only 2d. I have a lot more, different animals and things. I do have cat tails and if I could figure out how to set the "Viewable Distance" in 3ds max, I could export the Poser 3d models and there would be 3d people, plants, and animals, but I can't figure that, I can do some models--did an ice berg, but I can't get the viewable distance figured out even though my units are correct so that I can convert it to .s files.
I'm slow in uploading because I'm working on a model for my route, a castle and its a tad frustrating to say the least. But someone gave me a good idea at a site with graphics only on it. Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 16Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 17Oh fudge! I just remembered seeing a horse and buggy at uktrainsim.com, if you are in the USA, try to download at 3pm eastern time, their bandwidth for free downloads gets used up fast.
