Trainz Theory: Route Building

Рет қаралды 66,813

Күн бұрын

Welcome to a new mini-series called "Trainz Theory". In this series, I'll be going over my general thought processes and theories behind creating things in Trainz Simulator. In this first episode, I focus on route building from scratch from the initial idea, to final testing stage. I showcase a look into my workflow in Trainz along with giving some general tips along the way. Route building can be a daunting task sometimes so hopefully this video will help give you some new ideas, or a new way to look at Trainz route building!

Something I do with forested areas is use a browner hue of ground cover within the forest to reflect having less light hit the forest floor and a ground covering of decaying leaves. For those forested areas I usually use splines instead of individual trees. Oh, and currently use TANE. Previously had 2006 then 2009.

I used to put clumps of grass round the bottom of telegraph poles but it got tiring after a hundred of them. I use Ger Forest texture in forests.

As someone new to the whole Trainz experience, I found this extremely helpful. I have my own ideas and want to do my own series. Granted this will take a lot of time and patience, but I'm confident I can do this. Thanks for the tips and advice. Look forward to seeing more in this series. Keep up the excellent work.

Your video was posted some time ago but I just came across this, thank you for the tips & tricks here (just getting into Trainz). I bought 2019 version but hardly did anything with it & now just bought a 1yr subscription 2022 version so I need all the help I can get. Half of the battle for myself is just navigating around in Trainz, but it's coming along. Gotta start somewhere LOL. Thanks again!

I use SAM VS Grass 2 as my default grass texture and SAM VS embankments because they have the most realistic grass texture and in the case of the ground texture the grass no repeating pattern. Since the embankments and grounds match you don't get an ugly outline at the bottom of the embankment. I have only built 3 routes and someone on a modelling forum commented on the signalling on one of my videos "You need more signalling and your distant signals aren't right". I replied that the signalling was 100% accurate to the actual real life signalling and was measured from OS 25" to the mile maps so every signal was exactly where it was in reality. He never admitted he was wrong but gave me a like !

I bought my first version of Trainz in 2015. And its taken until now to start to be able to say im pretty mediocre at things like terrain work and detailing. Im going all out with a massive urban scene currently as I continue to experiment with my skills and such. Its fun but trainz is very tedious is all I'll say. Good to have a video to throw some basic tips out for how to just get started.
