Roanoke Shops

[dogrokket]

Hi all,
I started working on my first route... Roanoke VA. If you've ever been to Roanoke, you've seen the star on Mill Mt. This was one of my first blender scenery object attempts. I managed to use a day and a night texture set, making the star glow at night with 'Tex' and not glow in the day time with 'TrDiff'. Exporting from blender to TS is a bit of a learning curve, since it involves piecing together a lot of scattered information (most of it dealing with an older version of blender), but it can be done!

Wonderful work, i know nothing about modeling and etc.. but that seems like it was not easy and took much work and effort

Here's a neat Rail-Cam from Roanoke right up from the shops.
good luck on your route.

I think there's another one further up the track too.

It's like doing brain surgery after staying at a Holiday Inn Express! (you Britts may not get that one...)

Got the night textures done... Now it's time to figure out all the LODs with the blender exporter.
