WIP: Locomotive
$imon:
Here another update.
I know it's slow progress.. but there is a lot of detail I'm putting into this, there is a lot of small detail that doesnt show up in these renders but it will be good for close-up shots later on.
Thanks Kubajzz so much for your mirroring script, it helps a lot with mirroring a lot of details.
The very front triangle will be remodeled.
TheRetroZombie:
will it make it more realistic of you soften the shadows?
Pincho:
Wow.. what a model!!! It's amazing!
5L1D3R:
I'd have to check my books, but it looks like you are modelling a Norfolk Southern Class A. Consequently, the pilot (the part everyone keeps referring to as the bumper or rammer) was a single cast piece which would explain it's having smooth edges. A lot of last generation American steam had large single castings like this. you can easily get lost in the details with something like this. I am working on a model of a 100 foot motor yacht, and the more I work on it, the more fine detail I add. right now, I'm trying to decide if I want to go into modelling the interior cabins. Keep up the good work

Zombie: This render is 100% only for the WIP, everything will change.
Pinco: tnx.
Slider: It is a Norfolk & Western A class 1218. Thanks for pointing out its called a pilot.. wasn't aware of that ;)
I by no means have any kind of knowledge of trains, I just observe images and try to rebuild it from there. The details on the pilot are mostly dents and stuff, so that will be hard to get in as details, I might UVmap it later and add a bumpmap for that.
I am trying to make the details on the outside up to the screws. I will probably want to make (some of) the inside as well, particulary the driver's cabin. I might have to go to a museum in the US where they have it and make some photographs of my own for that though.
