Hi All,

3D Canvas Trainworks is not quite done, but I have released a preliminary version so that those waiting for it can get started. This preliminary version includes almost all of the functionality of the final version.

3D Canvas Trainworks lies between 3D Canvas Pro and 3D Canvas Plus, feature-wise, and price-wise. 3D Canvas Trainworks includes all of the features of 3D Canvas Plus, and these plug-ins:

General
Butt Objects
Create Unique Names
Split Faces

Information
Count Triangles
Print Hierarchy
Show Untextured

Material
Swap Texture Files

Object Builder
Bridge Engineer
Foundry
Piper

Train Simulator
Animate Rods/Pistons
Buffer Engineer
Cab Engineer
Fit Boiler Curve
Handrail Engineer
Train Simulator Engineer

Train Simulator Imports
Rail Simulator Intermediary Animation Format (.ia)
Rail Simulator Intermediary Geometry Format (.igs)
TrainSim Modeler (.dst)

Train Simulator Exports
Microsoft Train Simulator (.s)
Rail Simulator Intermediary Animation Format (.ia)
Rail Simulator Intermediary Geometry Format (.igs)

3D Canvas Trainworks does NOT support custom plug-ins/operations/scripts not provided by Amabilis Software.

I haven't yet written the tutorial(s) for the Rail Simulator plug-ins, or provided objects/textures related to trains. These will come in the next few weeks.

3D Canvas Trainworks cost $49.95 US and can be purchased here:

Purchase 3D Canvas Trainworks

When you purchase 3D Canvas Trainworks, you receive a license code. This license code is entered into the freeware version of 3D Canvas via the Help Menu. This unlocks the features of 3D Canvas Trainworks.

Please note, that if you have 3D Canvas Pro, 3D Canvas Trainworks is of no use to you since 3D Canvas Pro includes all of the features of Trainworks.

I should mention that both Trainz and Rail3D exporters will be released with the final version of Trainworks. I'm not quite sure when that will be yet, but it is my main priority.

Thanks for the reply on my e-mail,but I'm sorry I just can't find the download.I have been all over your site and I see nothing for freeware or trainworks download,Please give me a page to go to find.Thanks in advance,wvman.

You can download the freeware version of 3D Canvas here: 3D Canvas

Thanks for the reply,I got the download and all went well.Now to dig in and learn.Thanks again wvman.

I've been working hard on features for trainworks/3D Canvas Pro. New exports that will be available for the next version (thanks to Paul and Mark):

BVE
Rail3D Signal
Rail3D Scenery
Rail3D Stock

I'm hoping to have the Trainz exporter ready for the next release also.

None of these exports will initially be available via the Train Simulator Wizard. That will come in the not too distant future.

Today I "integrated" Paul's Trainz exporter.

As far as I know, 3D Canvas Trainworks/Pro now officially supports all train simulators. Let me know if I missed any.
