4-6-4 New York Central J2 Hudson Steam Locomotive

[jpetersjr]

Here's about how it will later look in the sim, will try to put a shine to it though and try to keep the slightly grimy look as well.


Placed the engine on track as a simple scenery item to see how it would look.

P.S, this is not the final texturing, later I'll properally texture it for the locomotive version, mainly here just threw on some textures to test it to see how it would look.

Might have to edit the size a little.

I like it, you still scratching your head about the wheel/running gear animation? If so I'd get a hold with mrennie since he is early in the
4-4-0 project he might be able to help you.

I'll probably do that near the end.

I actually do have a partial idea about the animation, one of the DC4 airplanes I animated the propellers to spin.

Some more progress on the engine.

Still have yet to add the steps but that will be next.

[jpetersjr]

Some more progress, it's getting a little tight between the wheels.

Progress on old NYC 5265.

Of course, those fake trucks will be replaced by real trucks.

Now that I've finally got it onto the tracks I have to somehow figure out how to edit it so I can put a driver on it and attempt to try it. I can now place it on the track and take it back off just as easy.

[jpetersjr]

A little bit of progress on the Hudson, got the side windows in.

Next thing to do is to replace those dummy trucks with the real trucks.

Had to switch Crafter versions today though because spent almost all day trying to get Crafter 9.1 to export it correctly, then finally reinstalled 8.2 and got it to export correctly. Crafter 9 has always been known to be quite unstable though, glad to be back with 8.2.

I don't see those things in between the wheels, I only see the brake shafts.

[BKRR605]

Very nice

[SAR704]

One question, what OS do you use? I'm just curious because 3DC 8 and newer fail to load on my pc. They get closed for supposedly being unresponsive. All I can really use is 3DC 7.0.2

[jpetersjr]

Windows 7, will check later.

Going to be getting a new computer hopefully very soon.

[TheEmmaSweeny1]

i would assume those textures arent permanent, correct?

[jpetersjr]

Yep, will definitely replace them later.

When I get the new computer I'll see if I can do some more on the engine.
