Well I am starting to get some positive feedback on the freight trains, which I enjoyed making. So here is the question, would you guys like to see me make more freight train cars and release them, or work on buildings???

Wow. Those towers look amazing! Nightlighting is very good and I see you have darker night mod which really makes them look realistic aswell. Look great but from what I have read they are only for STEX disc? So they wont show up on STEX? what a shame. Great job with those towers, I love them!

Hey, here is the next building I am working on, I am about 89 percent done with modeling and can not wait to start texturing!!! Which will be very tough.. This building may not look like it now but it is actually an old brick building, probably used as warehouse mabye but im really sure. Any suggestions?

UMmmmmmmmmm why would you not make them HD???!?! these are the perfect HD buildings!! Hhaa I love them! great textures, good modeling, lets see some nightlights!! I really like your style, older brick buildings, the buildings you have created are some of my favorites!! Also how do you create such good roof textures? Im asuming you make them in photoshop? -mosin33

Oh wow, this is an awesome little building! I love it, sort of reminds me of Madhatters stuff (compliment to you both) haa The nightlights are really cool as well, and I wish you would tell me how you do your nightlights! Are you using Gmax? if not dont bother explaining anything... -mosin33

I noticed that your style is very clean and shiny/glossy when creating BATs. Which if fine of course but I think if your making a shipping port it should be dirty and grunging looking. So good textures could make this amazing model twice as good. Im sure whatever you deciede to do will be just fine seeing how good you are at BATing!! I do think the model looks very good right now and cant wait to see more! Mabye some nightlighting! -mosin33

Oh wow! These are exceptional BATs, the HD preview makes all the difference and really shows the detail and they look really nice! One thing that would really make them stand out would be if you added some kind of glass skylight with multiple windows on the roof. I cant explain it to well but I hope you get the idea of what Im getting at. Either way these look great. I hope you add some really good textures because that will make or break these awesome little models. Also look forward to nightlighting! (I got the darker night mod) So night lighting makes a good building just as much as other things. Great work -mosin33

Hey I really look like this building your working on! How do you create such good roof textures!! I added your one roof texturing tutorial to my favorites but that tutorial seems to be gone now. The building looks great but the night lights are too ..... much. Mabye if everyone window is not lit up it will look better, also if not ever square on a window was lit up. I know alot of the old warehouse like buildings have the grid window designs and the glass panes get damaged or broken. Then they usually put a piece of wood or metal where the glass used to be and then at night the whole window is not lit up but more like a checkboard. Hope that helps or makes sense. -mosin33

Hey Im going on vacation for 5 days so work on my trains more when I get back!! anyways..... 1 quick update before I leave!! SimHoTToDDy-Thanks and I plan on using the trains for future industrial projects that I do, so they will come in handy down the road and I just really want to make some good trains for sc4. Also making just one train car in gmax can be kind of slow because my computer isnt too great. Thats a big reason why I can make some larger buildings that I want to, my computer just cant handle them. Thanks though! jacquina-Thank you! I made another box car, yellow, a gondola car with and without coal, and a covered hopper car. The green car didnt export right so I will have to do re-do it but here is an in game shot of the trains so far!! Enjoy all comment welcome... ITS A BIG PICTURE!! and of course they are HD to see the detail. bye

Holy Smokes!! Why are your BAT's just so good? Your latest building is just perfect! Everything seems just right and I love it! If you want some critism the only thing I can say is the roof junk, to me seems to tanish yellow. Mabye an antenna would look good? Its pretty awesome as it is though. -mosin33

Im back again! beutelschurf-thanks and I since the roof is seen alot in SC4 buildings I wanted to make it very real looking and couldnt find any good roof textures to mess with. Francias90b- thanks, but dont think I will finish these madhatter106-Hey, I re-created the basketball court and got pretty far on it! Im getting better at creating textures instead of just getting them offline. Now I edit them in photoshop which helped me to make it better! But, I took intrest in freight trains all of a sudden and stopped working on it. FREIGHT TRAINS New Freight trains. Very first one I made, simple box car, standard view and view 6 HD with the tracks. I spent alot of time playing with the scale to get it close and I think im pretty close! I made the wheels of the train very detailed and they took awhile and now I find out you can hardly see them. ugh I couldnt find any train car textures so I had to make my own in photoshop, which I have never done. I plan on doing a variety of different box car colors then tanker cars, flatbeds, etc. Any suggestions or requests are welcome!
