Train

Files

All files for the train live in $SVNROOT/lib/models/vehicles/

• train.blend (currently the old version, this is what links to files)
• train_interior.blend ( for act II)
• train_lowRes.blend (maybe defunct)
• train_prog.blend (new design, ultra high poly model by Josh, needs cleanup, rigging, reduction)
• train_mid_prog.blend ( aborted midway progress of reduction of high poly train)

Tasks

• Investigate: Understand what lives where
• Delete redundancies in in-progress work
• Organize in-progress work: object names, layers, groups, layernames.
• Finish In progress low and mid polification.
• Rig train models (all)
• create final groups for linking
• test to make sure we stay compatible (or that modifications are doable) for files linking to the old train model.
• drop the new model in for the old in scenes.
• create subgroups esp. for ultra HI poly versions.
• Begin materials and texturing.

Notes

train_prog.blend

• contains engine and carriage models, with optional 'utra-high' poly details such as rivets and screws.
• Prefixes:
  • LOW eg: LOW01536 is a high poly part!
  • DET eg: DET01536 is a detail for the corresponding high poly part, e.g. a rivet.

  * LND eg: LND01536 means 'low no detail' version of the high poly part.

• Bakes: an attempt to bake AO onto LND parts is in $SVNROOT/lib/maps/vehicles/train
• DET are parented to their LOW parts.
• some detail layer objects do not relate to LOW parts.
• Layers:
  • 6: engine body high poly (LOW and LND objects)
  • 7 engine body ultra high poly (corresponding DET objects and others)
  • 16 engine undercarriage high poly (LOW and LND objects)
  • 17 engine undercarriage ultra high poly (corresponding DET objects

and others)

• • 8 carriage body high poly (LOW and LND objects)
  • 9 carriage body ultra high poly (corresponding DET objects and

others)

• • 18 carriage undercarriage high poly (LOW and LND objects)
  • 19 carriage undercarriage ultra high poly (corresponding DET objects

and others)

• • 20 bevel profiles etc
