The only way I can think of, to do a good job, is to unwrap the arches.
I will get round to it one day. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="

A while ago I asked Raul (Riverplate) if I could have the 3DC version of his superb 12H ‘LARREA’ FCS loco.
I wanted to see what it looked like after Gile had produced a lightmap.
I spent a very enjoyable couple of days re-applying the textures so I could manipulate them better in Gile
Anyway here’s the results. A really nice looking locomotive, I’m sure you’ll agree.
It actually looks a lot better than this, but I lost quite a bit with the file compression.
But what is it doing on a British Great Western railway? Well, it’s on a goodwill visit, all the way from Argentina. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>
Isn’t the internet just great.
Don’t forget you can get the MSTS version from the Model download section.

And again.
Trans-Atlantic Railway, perhaps?
Fantastic stuff, guys, impressive, as usual!
Its just amazing the detail that Gile(s) seems to bring out from a model. The light mapping here just makes the scene sparkle with realism.
You must be very good at using Gile(s) Bazza, excellent work. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>
Oh and Raul of course for providing an excellent subject for the scene.
Hi V_F and thanks.
This was a bit of Trans-Atlantic co-operation that worked out very well indeed.
I’m still not sure about the lighting I selected for the model in Gile{s}.
The locoshed scene uses my early ‘morning lighting’ setup. When I did the lightmap for Rauls loco I seem to have given it more of a late evening light, so I may have another shot at it sometime.
For comparison, if you take a look at my ‘Even more steam’ post. This blends in much better with the surrounding scenery.
I used the same lighting for the loco as I did for the scenery.
Hope you get your new computer sorted soon, it sounds like a nice choice.

Nice render – but I am still not sure about the arch texture <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>
