Jun-18-01, 02:32 AM (EST) "New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" Here is my first pass at the Empire State Express - its a J3a Hudson (4-6-4) built for a debut in 1941 (Unfortunately it's debut was overshadowed by a small incident in the pacific - the bombing of Pearl Harbor) If I get enough response to this post, I'll finish off the tender, then I'll upload it to the files section - FREE,FREE,FREERespond to this post - tell me what you think...

Jun-18-01, 12:03 PM (EST) 4. "RE: New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" Hi,Very nice Job !I am curious as to the Mapping, are those reflection maps or part of the texture, and if they are reflection maps can you disclose the procedure you used / nameing to get them to export !?Sincerely,Andrei Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jun-19-01, 06:13 AM (EST) 10. "RE: New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" The reflections are part of the texture. I've been unable to get Glossy materials to export. I keep getting an error message saying that it can't find a reflection texture in the reflection slot. So far, everyone that I've talked to hasn't figured it out either....

Jun-19-01, 08:03 PM (EST) 13. "RE: New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" Nice Job Cy! It's looking really good. Now, I just need to finish my mapping on the TGV. Been a bit busy with work. I was wishing that you would of been able to figure out the reflection technic. I'm trying to get the TGV to be a bit reflective, with it's shiny red paint job.

Jun-20-01, 03:53 PM (EST) 17. "RE: New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" Great job on the J3A Hudson Cy! I must ask one question though.....? By any chance is this the same Cyrus Lum who I had the opportunity to meet at the Dallas Z Scale meet last year? And is this the same Cyrus who scratch built an incredible New York Central Hudson in Z scale? Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

>Z scale? Yeah, that's him! Hmm, I wonder how you figured that one out? Cy and I are the Z-Scale group & MSTS modelers of Austin. The strange thing is, we don't even plan to do the same hobbies, it just happens. Weird....This is Marc, I was there at the Dallas meet also. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jun-21-01, 05:54 PM (EST) 26. "RE: New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" Hey, the engine looks incredible. Can't wait to see it released. For your next project, you should consider the Southern Pacific GS4 Daylight, or maybe the Norfolk & Western Class J 4-8-4.Just a few ideas. Do you or anyone else have any plans on makeing a trainset for this engine?CDP Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jun-22-01, 01:21 AM (EST) 27. "RE: New Steam Loco Model....J3a Hudson" Those sound pretty good. I think that the big steam project is handling the GS4...After I release the loco and tender, I'm gonna start modeling the passenger cars. I think a whole train set would be cool...
