Creating a simple scenic object and packaging it

That really takes me back! How long ago was that? I totally forget. 5 Years?

I’m going to produce a whole set of tutorials for Rail Simulator, but it’s going to be weeks until they are available. There’s just too much for one person. I have to concentrate on the software right now.

I have just posted a pictorial description of how I created a simple object in 3DC, imported it into Rail Simulator and then packaged it up ready for sharing. I don’t fancy typing it all again, so please follow the link:

Pictorial Tutorial

Hi Ian,

Now that looks suspiciously like the model that you used in a tutorial many years ago that got me interested in using 3DC for MSTS <!– s:-) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:-) –>

I managed to export a quite complicated model of a breakdown crane I had built for MSTS and it also worked fine.

Now we just need to work out how to export locos.

Well done. Did you get the wheels turning? What couplings did you use? etc, etc.

Also, can we see a screenshot please? Please share what you have found out, there is so much we have to learn.

Ian.
