Nice work.

Would be interesting to try some 3D programs, but the programs probably cost quite a lot of money.

Usually the freeware variants of programs have the: "You get what you pay for... Nothing" featurewise.


Edit: Found a list. http://www.software4free.org/3d.html

Also try GMAX, I used it for a long while before I got 3dsmax.

GMAX is an excellent modelling tool, but unfortunately it lacks any sort of renderer (At least it did when I used it).

Yes it still does, infact Discreet ceased support for it, they host the DL and give out new reg codes and that's it. But if you want to learn modeling I recommend it since moving up to 3ds Max is easy, and 3ds max is widely used.

Downloaded Blender, seems good. Reading a tutorial at the moment learning its features, and 3D modeling.

Work the lighting a bit. Make it more brighter so it doesn't look like the tracks just end there but so it shines more and thus blurs the borders of the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for the feedback Dowly, I agree. I've added a lens flare and some glow, which now masks the end of the tunnel

Playing around with FumeFX. Gas pours in the first 30 frames, after which the temperature raises to 500C and ignites it.



(IE might show it in slo-mo, FF shows at normal speed)

Then more you shall get.

Same deal, gas pouring out from three emitters in the bottom of the screen, at frame 50 the fuel ignites.



(Again, IE seems to like to play it in slo-mo for some reason)

wow, thats pretty damn cool Dowly

My newest Model, an LMS country station, loosely based on Goathland Station on the North York Moors Railway, which was incidentally where they filmed Heartbeat and Harry Potter (Hogsmeade) It's also the basis for Hornby's Skaledale Station model, which this was actually more accurately modelled after.



The real place:


Hornby's Model:

Aaah, I thought it looked up North somewhere, particularly the red LMS style station sign I just went a bit too far north

Very nice indeed.
