  • Bogies! (MK3A? )

    Bogies! (MK3A? )

    With the DEMU project, I decided to take on a massive undertaking. Massive isn’t the word, but we will go with it anyway. Rebuilding the bogies. If you seen the previous model in this post, you will see the old bogies. These were built slightly differently. I exported them out of Max 2009, into FBX exporter, into Blender to do the rest. Also, this is my first render in Blender, I’m learning it slowly, its taken me a long time to get this far though.

    As for the GLB file?

    Although not finished (spring planks and a few minor corrections), it stands at a colossal 20,000 polys. Oh and it was built in 3DS Max 5. Either way, enjoy. Please add comments if you like it.

    I did show it in Facebook and I was told “We need this for Train Sim World”, I developed this for Trainz, but if anyone wants the mesh, well, my inbox is always open and I don’t mind handing over an incomplete mesh for a donation (or wait until it magically appears in my Cloud Files section)

  • Another item!

    Another item!

    Ok, I had a bit of a random thought with this one, hence why I had a change of project for the time being. You probably can guess what it will be, but I started as a believe it or not, a Class 416 DTSO model. Unusually, I also spent most of my time developing it in a Virtual Machine – as the item of software I used is soo old, it doesn’t work on my desktop at all. On my laptop, it crashes if it goes to sleep, so a Virtual Machine was seen as a solution – which is running Windows 11. I might stick it in either a Windows 7 Virtual Machine or Windows 10, I’ve not decided, but it will take a while to set up.

    Virtual machines also have other uses, but that is not for this blog. And do bear in mind, I’ve only spent a few hours on this model, so it won’t be right straight away. (As mentioned, I built the base in 2006 too!). Theres also a few errors that have appeared in the mesh for some reason, from MAX > FBX > GLB, so you can inspect the model

    What was interesting, when I was developing this item, I had a look at a lot of other vehicles (I.e. Class 207, NIR Class 450 – which is tempting to make, NIR Class 80) that have the same engine, which is the English Electric 4SRKT, have a similar layout, but not the Class 73 locos.
