Re: My first attempt at trucks/bogeys

Those are all re-skins, Ken, before I started creating.
That gives me an idea although, I don't think it'll work...

Re: My first attempt at trucks/bogeys

Funny you should say that, Ken. I tried to NOT make any one thing stand out. LOL I tried to blend everything together with it's own texture rather then making everything say, black. Well, I've failed to make the wheels roll so, I guess this won't see any tracks. Although it was interesting to create...

Re: My first attempt at trucks/bogeys

I built a 'spring and bolster box' and added two springs. Polys are now 2300 according to TO. 3DC says 3024. I like this. I think the textures came out pretty good, too. How about you guys? What do you think? (I gotta figure out how to make the wheels roll, now. LOL) http://img523.imageshack.us/img5...

Re: My first attempt at trucks/bogeys

OK, good. I've tweaked the textures a bit and am going to rework the spring detail, now.

Thanks a million, Curtis,

Re: My first attempt at trucks/bogeys

Thought of that, too. Wasn't sure about my poly count and whether I should make 3D springs or not and the reason I posted here looking for input. LOL

My first attempt at trucks/bogeys

Hi guys, I'm going to give this thing a try. I haven't got a clue how to animate with 3DC but will make an attempt at it. (They don't roll at this time but they do work as bogeys.) Here's the basic design of my Diamond Archbar Trucks; 3 foot NG 3 foot wheel centers 21" wheels Poly count is 2100...

Curtis, are you familiar with this style?

I know you do CPRR rolling stock but are you familiar with these 1800's 25' boxcars?

Re: My first attempt at chunky mesh track

He he, I like it, too, Ken. LOL That horn sound is basically governed by the engine's horn. My horns are a two part horn so it only toots. One part horns will blow their duration. You'll have to adjust the horn thingy(s) accordingly. To hear my horn, you have to hold down the H key. A one part horn ...
