Railworks America

It's early, but since my Crafter decided it's not going to work anymore I have been forced to release the cars I have built. I hate to cut a pack short, but I'm going to have to try to figure out Blender if I'm ever going to do another model, which I hate since it took me so long to learn how to use 3D Crafter and now this happens. Once Crafter 9.5 comes out hopefully soon I'm going to try it and see if it works, but whatever this computer problem is it seems to be affecting all of my versions of Crafter.

Is there anyone here that also uses Crafter 9.2 that could finish my EMC E1, I don't want to scrap it and there's no way I can import it to Blender so over here it won't ever get finished. I need someone that can take it up and finish it for me and then release it as a freeware model like I had planned. Most of the body work on it is already completed and I had started on the trucks and the 3D cab. That is, the body is already shaped out, but some of it might need some editing, but once it's finished it will be an awesome model. I will provide you with every bit of reference I have, all the engine files and as much information about it that I was able to find.


Alright, here's some pictures of the cars, they should be available for download tomorrow most likely.

Also, I don't know yet if when I get my computer if I'll be using 3D Crafter any longer, if I learn Blender I probably won't be using it anymore.

You can import into Blender but not using the 3DC format (I think STL works). The problem is that all the texture mapping is lost. I haven't looked into this long enough to find out if I need to configure something in the text files (something I learned of last night).

Well, if Crafter holds out a while longer again since somehow I managed to get it working again I won't need to import them into Blender. Tomorrow when I have more time I'm going to try to build another model in Crafter again, a truck to go with the cars.

Go ahead though and post this file up to the community though since it will be a while before I can release another pack update as long as Crafter doesn't fail again.

JP, you might want to take a look here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9288 Might help you with the 3DC/ Blender dilemna.

News for this morning, the cars are out and available for download now, enjoy.
