RE: How to paint a nose

One method although most case not work. You set a inside(...) section in loco .eng file. Then look out and get a screenshot. Then of course you need proceed it. I use this way to get a Norfolk Southern loco nose.I just have uploaded 2 cabview (hoodcab.zip & leftcab.zip). include a tutorial for nose painting. May be that can help you. (Don't know that online or not for I still can not login)

Sorry, may be what I said is too simple. I mean add a passenger view to loco, then use that passenger view (key 5) screenshoot to process.I don't paint control panel, I only process photo. Since I don not have a painter skill. I don't think paint control panel can get a photorealistic result.
