Water Tank (WIP)

Unread postby cnwfan » Thu Oct 15, 2020 10:21 pm

First Substance Painter render of a water tank loosely based on a similar tank out at the Laws Railroad Museum in Laws, Calif. Still have more weathering to do along with decal placement, but its mostly there. Blender 2.79 used for the modeling.

Thank you Bernard. With each project, my skills in Blender and Substance Painter improve ever so slightly. And Substance Painter is constantly improving too with expanded functionality and a growing procedural materials library. I just wish TS2020 took advantage of PBR lighting / shaders in addition to the older fx shaders. *!!thnx!!*

Looks good, always like to see new modelers to the sim. Before you know it you'll be doing models of cars and airplanes.


...Cheers...

Thank you! Cars and trucks... perhaps in future. For now I'm going to stick with buildings and smaller clutter items. *!!thnx!!*

I think I'm done texturing this tank. Final render out of Substance Painter. Now it's a matter of getting the textures into Blender, and finally getting this water tank into the sim.
