i'm interested in making a TEBC6 locomotive i know the basic info about the locomotive and what it looks like how do i turn that into a drivable locomotive and can i use parts from other locomotives to make it (SW1500 cab, SD9 frame and trucks) also how do i go about repainting and relettering an SD40-2 or rebuiling an SD35 to become parent units for that locomotive? what about sounds is there any slug sounds on here? thanks to anyone who has anything for me to use
First off, you won't be able to use parts of other locomotives until the author sends you the appropriate parts.For the creation of 3D models you need a program like GMax (free, www.discreet.com), TSM or 3DCanvas. But you can't import shape files into these programs, you can only export shape files. You should do a search for tutorials, you need more information to make your own locomotives than could be given in this post.For repainting and creating texture files you can use all kind of graphics programs, you just have to convert your files into ace files, you can use tgatool2 or aceit! (available in the FL) for it.------------------------------ Jan
