Nippon Sharyo "Highliner" Bi-Level EMU (yes, another train :D)

EDIT: I also need some background info, I notice in images online, there seems to be a small fold out flap at the bottom of the doors, bridging the gap to the platform. Could someone tell me where this appears from, and how the mechanism works?

It probably folds out from the wall, then folds out again out of the car. That's how they work in Amfleets at any rate.

[Al T.]

I get the part about folding out of the car, in the picture I can see what look like hinges in the floor, aswell as part of the folding mechanism in the bottom left corner. However I don't get you when you say "fold out from the wall" and I really can't see where they could fold into, in that picture.

Well it is. The way I have done it is merged the texture image with an AO image, it looks great In Blender (i'll show a screen soon) but isin't showing up in RoR due to the managedmaterials. I will have to look into it. The reason I didn't just bake the AO onto the texture image, is that this UV map is full of duplicated parts of the mesh, so AO wouldn't work. (I use two UV layers in Blender, and each part of the mesh has 2 materials, its own texture and the AO texture.)

OK that explains it. I don't know if there is a layered image format that ogre supports, but could you try that?

[Al T.]

No, the ao image uses a different uv mapping then the texture.

This is getting better and better! It will be one of the top trains for sure!

I think you can use the AO separately (do not bake it with the image and save it as another image) and use it as an overlay colour on the material file.

[Al T.]

Well thats the plan, but I don't know how it can do that If I use managedmaterials.

hmm, someone seems to have built a passenger line to Coldwater. In fact, it almost seems they built It specially to test this train....

Wow Really lookin good

Nice... I love it... You should make the line longer and make it pass through more hot spots like the port... the other airport... etc...

[ror35]

This has progressed well please continue your work!

[Al T.]

Going to be working on some fps improvements, and hopefully Spunik_1 will help with the set_beam_defaults so there are less vibrations and it can corner better.

[Zanjani13]

The train look very good Al T

I think those stay out when the train moves i think
