Hi,
I have created a model of Italian coach. I export it in IGS, as do I do to export the coach for Rail Rimulator?
Thanks

Nice model.

You will have to rename the objects, according to the Dev Docs. E.G. the object you call 'coach' needs to be renamed '1_0000_coach' if you only have one LOD model that can be seen at any distance.

(unless Richards exporter renames objects automatically)

Not sure Ian, but I have a feeling that those naming conventions may be specifically for the Max Lod exporter.
So far, I've been able to export things without sticking to that naming convention (except track). That may change when Richard introduces Lod exporting for Railsim.

Cheers,

With 3DC it is possible to merge all objects of a group?

Yes, you could merge them, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you decide to make changes in the future it makes things very difficult.

And no, you don't need to stick to the naming convention of the documentation. I'm changing the names on export.

Unfortunately I don't succeed in exporting my model with "asset editor." After having copied the files in the directory C:\Programmi\Rail Simulator\Source\Developer\Addon\RailVehicles\Passenger
1. New Shape Bluprint
2. Wagon Bluprint
3. Preview
and this is the result:

Hi,

So it doesn't show up in the asset editor, correct?

Can you send me the model at support@amabilis.com. I can try for you.

Regards,

Richard

I have send email

I have imported this wagon in de editor only as a scenery object when I do this as freight wagon i see nothing..
Also I dont find my project I de Route editor??

Hi Frans,
you have the same my problem.
Your freight wagon is very beautiful compliments.

Nice textures...like all the folds and creases.
Is this all hand drawn?

Baza

@ Pasquale you made also exellent models


@ Basa this are a real picture form that wagon.
I modify this in photoshop so that this fit correct on the model

Pasquale,

I was able to load your model as a wagon object. It could be that there was a bug in the previous version of the exporter that caused the problem. I'd recommend getting the new version of 3D Canvas, and re-exporting. Perhaps with a new name. That forces the asset editor to rebuild things.

As an aside, I'd recommend removing the 1_0000 from the groups. First, it's not correct, but also, I add that when I export the file.

Btw, very nice model!

Hi,
I continue to have problems and I don't understand the why. I have not perhaps understood anything.
I export my project from 3DC ( www.allfreenet.it/pasquale/RS/RS_screen_02.jpg ), then I take the file.IGS and I copy it in the selected directory ( www.allfreenet.it/pasquale/RS/RS_screen_04.jpg ).
I open "Asset Editor"--> New Shape Bluprint
Wagon Bluprint and then I press on Preview
Correct? Here thing I see:
www.allfreenet.it/pasquale/RS/RS_screen_01.jpg

If instead I do:
Scenery Bluprint and then Preview, here thing I see:

Hi,
I am becoming crazy, I don't succeed in exporting the trains. I also have this project to export:
http://www.amicitreni.net/public/data/E402-134/E484-021.jpg

I'd recommend this:

1) remove the incorrect naming from your groups
2) export the coach and name it "coachtest" or something else very simple.
3) create the wagon blueprint
4) BEFORE "preview", right click on the model file and choose "export"
5) click "preview"

That's the procedure I used successfully. If that works, then you can look at giving your coach a proper name. Remember, that if the export gets broken somehow with a specific name, it's very difficult to "fix" it since the asset editor keeps loading the broken one. Choosing a different name is the only reliable procedure I have found.

1) For passenger coach there is the coach blueprints.
2) Into 3dcanvas i have given a specific name to all the parts as is written into RS doc 4.07
Wheel wh##
Bogie bo##
etc..
3) the blueprints has to be complete as stated into RS doc 2.07... bogey blueprints have to be done as well.

Hi,
perhaps I am stupid, following list of the screens with the passages that I perform for exporting in RS:
It structures Project 3DC:
http://www.allfreenet.it/pasquale/RS/RS01.jpg
Passages "Asset Editor":
http://www.allfreenet.it/pasquale/RS/RS02.jpg
http://www.allfreenet.it/pasquale/RS/RS03.jpg

Checking, I have noticed that when I import my project with "Asset Editor" a line appears me that doesn't convince me.
If I open a project of example it is everything ok.
Me where I am wrong?

Can you send me a download link to your updated probject? (support@amabilis.com) I can look to see if I can get the current version to load in the Asset Editor correctly.
