Putting On The [RRW] Re-Skin...

[JulianMIA 1,449]

During the last week I have installed the prototype RRW re-skin that is being developed and I really like it - it has made me want to work with regular rail again a lot more.  Today I rebuilt an old tunnel access area in the northern part of the city to make room for a needed HSR line to be come through as well as a new viaduct rail section that will allow access to the train station that is being built in the district.

I have uploaded a few photos to show what the re-skin is looking like along with tunnel portals, bridges, and viaducts that have been updated to match.  Thanks so much to rivet for all the help and rsc204/MGB for the reskin access!

These smooth slopes look amazing there! Thanks for showcasing!

The concrete industry in your SimNation must be thriving! But seriously, that's some impressive work with bridges, tunnels, and slopes. It's also great to see the new skin in a practical application.

I must admit that I prefer the brownish, somewhat dirtier version (and darker viaducts to match!) myself, but I can see that this re-skin has its charms. It's a different style, it absolutely looks the part, and it's great to have this degree of choice, and to see the stuff other people with different tastes than oneself are creating - not although, but because it's something you might never even think of yourself.

So thank you for sharing these pictures with us! I could look at those for hours...

T Wrecks you are right!  I never thought about it that way but I do really my concrete companies a steady stream of business...

On the rail color - I like the brownish one also and I had just found a new underrail texture for it that I thought was perfect.  Really though I wish the game would let us have both at the same time - I keep my passenger and freight lines completely separate and I would run the brown rails for freight and the new reskin for all my regional commuter lines!  Sigh...

That tool is going to be beloved once its released. I wonder if can handle transparent textures - to create a non ballast & ties set on steroids. Granted, re-iid-ing everything would be a nightmare.

Looking good here buddy. Smooth transitions and I love those light textures.

@Simmer2Wow, it's really nice! Looks so real... Almost like your real rail-track props...  Amazing work here!  And I love the texture of the station too.

Those are 3D rails, or it is a texture?

They are textures. I used a very tricky shadow process to make them.
