"RE: Loco PRoject" LAST EDITED ON Feb-15-02 AT 11:02 AM (EST)>BUMP Perhaps you didn't get a reply because nobdy was interested! bumping your question up the list isn't going to change that. On top of which, it's bad manners to do that in here!!!! If you want it that much why don't you build it yourself.Best Regards,

Feb-15-02, 11:13 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Loco PRoject" In regards to what Fozzy said, what is (oh boy, this could start an argument) the best design software out there now? I would love to try my hand at some designing. Also, how much is it?
Thanks

Feb-15-02, 11:18 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Loco PRoject" If you want a the best 3d for MSTS, them it is TSM at Abacus. Once you create the object, the export does everything for you.You will also need a paint program like Paint Shop Pro.David Klemm

OK Drew,
You have several options here... 1) 3D Studio Max, at $3000 (not the best option for a beginner)2) TSM (Train Sim Modeler) around $30 ish, Not the best piece of software for the job... Has a few bugs and patchy support.3) 3D Canvas. This is as far as I'm concerned the best solution. Has great support and superb tutorials, also has a trainsim export plugin that does all the work of getting your model into the sim. Works far better than TSM and is significantly more powerful. Have a look at http://www.amabilis.com for 3D Canvas, You'll find all the details there and all the tutorials are free to download and read up on. There is also a free version of the software so you can try it out, but the free version doesn't export to trainsim. The LP version at just a bit more than the cost of TSM does and the Pro version is superb. Very easy to learn... certainly compared to MAX! Hope that helps,Best Regards,
