Very convincing; select logs even have the paint marks. The empty deck effects look great as well. Nicely done!

Just an idea, but perhaps you would consider doing an additional set sometime for the pre-spraycan days? ...before spray-paint, each company would mark the log ends with a unique symbol cast onto their log marking hammers, similar to a cattle brand, so the mills would know who to pay when a mixed shipment came in. Your work looks so good, it would be nice to include these loads on older-period routes too.

Thanks for sharing these.

Thank you as well.

Well, have used a branding hammer before and the mark isn't to visible so im not sure the resources would be worth it for that small of a detail. But as far as a non-marked load, whenever i get around to rebuilding my log set that i use i could do that. My plan is to update to 4k textures and add limb stobs as individual decals and bump masks for the bark. Who knows when i will ever get to it but it might happen.

Um the site glitched when i relpy'd and i have no idea why there are multipole copies of the same post.

Nice addition. Going down to Quincy for processing. These look good enough to take home and use for firewood. It's been cold enough, in the single digits a few days this week.

Sorry, I should have explained better; I didn't intend to ask you to go into that much detail ...I'd really have a screw loose if I did . I was only describing what they did in the old days before spray-paint; but having used a branding hammer before, you must be very familiar with the timber industry. It certainly shows in your work.

My apologies for the misunderstanding, and thanks again for your work.

Eh it's no problem who knows maybe i can incorporate more detail into the loads some day. But if i start going that far i think i should learn how to make my own railcars so i can just build my own setup from scratch. That would allow me much more freedom to add technical features, it's hard to find good info about how to build TS content in blender though so for the most part i end up doing trail and error.

Branding hammers.

Branding hammers.

Yeah, the one i used for log marking was similar to a smiley face =) except it had some other markings. They claim they can see the mark up to 3 ft into the log, not sure i believe that but some companies now days just staple an identification card to the end.
