Blender; Search for Master-Scene for creating Simutrans graphics

November 20, 2008, 08:20:48 am

Hello All

I try to build some buildings for Simutrans, but i`m on the beginning and at the moment I learn to handle *Blender*. Has someone already creat a standart-scene for *Blender*. (correct camera position, correct lighting, adjusted grid, size of renderer picture, color settings & background color, and so on..)?

I`m also very happy with a already finished .blend file, which one i can use as a reference.
(Maybe from a building which one created for simutrans)

Thanks !!

I think there's no blend file of that BUT I wrote an article (in spanish) about how to create that template scene by yourself. It's quite easy. I hope it helps.

On the other hand, I think I might upload some blender stuff to graphics.simutrans.com...

Thank you vilvoh! I do not understand spanish but your manual was very useful for me.

Yesterday i had problems with the camera position, but now after i see the possibility.. it`s work!

Would be also very helpful. Because then the newbies are able to make a relation directly in the blender self.

The language doesn't matter, the most important thing is that it helps you. Since some time ago, I had in mind to create a Painters & Modelers Guide for Simutrans, but I usually don't have time enough. I have to translate some articles from the blog, compile them, create a coherent structure and release the guide....too much work for me right now.

Anyway, I usually write articles about different aspects of object design for Simutrans (mainly blender related) in the blog, so at least you have that source of information. In addition, It's a good motive to start learning a new language..

Ok. I'l try to upload some stuff later (buses, planes) but only the 3D models, without textures. They take a lot of space.

I don't know a thing in Spanish either, but the pictures are self-explanatory

BTW, The models I'm going to upload do not have any annotation (ie. techniques used) so many people may get lost. I'll take advantage of a great new feature in Blender 2.48, the greaser pencil, that allows you to write notes, tips and drawings in the scene...

See this feature in action here. It's cool, isn't it?

Finally, I didn't use that cool tool but I've uploaded 6 files of different objects available at graphics.simutrans.com >> User galleries >> vilvoh >> blender files:
