GP30 Variants

[glenn68]

Anthony,
Welcome to Railworks, you will not be disapointed. Your GP30 model looks excellent and if your plans suceeds I would really love to see the GP35 and GP39's.

If Wendell is willing to let me convert it....

And update it with more 3D objects. Anyways, I just got my texture man back on the job for the GP30s.

Look again my friend. I changed the picture to it in MSTS' horrible shader, but it still looks prime.

I don't see "Donationware" being any different to freeware; all there is is a button set up somewhere so that someone can click if they liked it and felt like giving a little "thanks for your time" - and isn't in any sense a transaction for goods, most importantly. If it's not voluntary - ie you don't get anything without handing money over - then it's flat out payware no different to any other payware, no matter what you call it. Proceeds may go towards a charity or whatever, but it's still payware and still sale of a product with all that involves too.

RE: vents and so on, build them either ready for animation or with an animation included, and making it work can come after. If it's free stuff I'll be happy to help with scripting/physics etc as much as I have time for.

Built ready already. My animation skills are sketchy as best, I can do wheels, but not much else. xD So your help would be much appreciated. :)

Still quite a bit of texturing left. I just finished 3D Doors, Horn types and light placement as per prototype variants is complete. Now, to get the plug in to work my my copy of 3DSMax11x32... Bugs me that I have to have x64 and x32.... Once I get it in (each variant, mind you), I'll start work on the cab interior.

[SCLALINE]

i have 3dsmax 2011x32 it works fine - just do not use the slate editor
pm if you need help

Hey all, Anthony Wood from Midwest Locomotive Works (origionally for MSTS) here to announce and show some renders of a GP30 I've had in the works for some time. Announcements first:
The pack will include full custom cab with almost all switches and controls being interactive (will need help with scripting)
Custom sounds. (with more than one horn), full notching support. 441kHz
Multiple road names with auto number system (again, help with scripts, awesome) (road spec details)
GP30, GP35, GP39 rebuilds (GP39E,V,M), RDMTs.
TSX Effects (need help with that forsure)

I was going to suggest a GP-35 soon as I saw the 30 mesh. I am very happy you are doing this. I would really love to see a 35 without dynamics. (and maybe a nose bell inset Ann Arbor/DT&I -style on the short hood)That would be awesome!

I agree with RAILSOHIO! DT&I would be great especially with the bell! Nice work anyways! http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/dti400.jpg

Most likely, my full sets (including GP30) will be freeware?
Why you may ask? Im sick and tired of looking for something I can use and its this "Donation Ware" crap. What about us without money? (not to mention RSCs DLC is 20 bucks for an engine pack) If anything for donation ware, make it usable, but with less features for the free one. I may even do that. But probably not, setting up financial accounts and such costs more than what I'd even get back.

I'm with you, I as well can't afford to buy loads of payware and always wish for just a little more freeware, doesn't matter how much, even if it was 1, some is always better then none.

Actually, donationware is quite a bit different from freeware. If you don't first donate, (like payware) you can't get it and can't get it without donating first. Unfortunately we can't go to the site and download the train without first donating a sum of cash. So yes, it is very different from freeware.
