(WIP) Official Update Thread for the R44

[SubwayTrainOperator5]

Looking good! But keep in mind that the SIRT R44's don't have the white band on the side, basically the SIRT R44's are identical to the R46's on the outside. The SIRT R44's also have light-blue seats as well IIRC. But it looks very good so far! Can't wait to see what the finished SIRT panel will be like

The SIR R44 has the same color seats as the R110B R142 R142A/S R143/R160

Yeah, thats basically what I meant

some SIR R44's may have those yellow and orange spots. http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?69358

Sure, but still, most of them have the R160-blue seats

A sign I made to go on the R44 SI doors.  Anyone who wants to use it, feel free:



I'm now going to work on the sounds.

Well, that sign will have to go on to both the interior window on the doors and the exterior, so it will have to be in the exact spot where the exterior sign is on the interior side. In other words, if the sign is just planted on the exterior side of the door, the text will appear backwards on the interior side of the door since it goes on the window. That is one nice looking interior BTW

He could let that sign have one face instead of two, and put something in that same spot but with an opposite face.

Great Job, one thing though. This is not my picture, but I'll use it as an example.

You can grab a pic from the R46, it looks the same

That looks Hot! Great Work!

zerobeats2000, I can make those windows separating the door area from the seat area look dirty and smudged like they usually are in real life. Right now, those windows being perfectly clear gives the illusion of them being not there as on the R46.

Train looks beautiful! This is going to be as good as the 160! However, just to clear things up:

- You are missing the barrier / the gap space between the wall and the door like what Pacific pointed out. Don't know why, but this seems like a reoccurring problem not only on this train, but on the 179 exterior as well.
- It would be great if you could add that illusion like what zerobeats pointed out before.
- The length of the door seems to be a bit off. You can't clearly see the Do Not Lean on Doors sticker that's usually situated above the windows.

MINOR THINGS (things that could be improved, but wouldn't be absolutely necessary)
- The floor doesn't look visually appealing. Nothing too big, but try to find a way to make it look not as stretched out.
- This might make the train lag due to the extra polys, but is it possible to make the gap between the exterior and the interior show so that there's the handrest that's present on the windows.
- The radiators under the seats

Other than that the train looks absolutely amazing!

[SubwayTrainOperator5]

Yeah, and also, you can see in the photo Pacific385 posted that the pairs of tranverse seats are the same color (Yellow, yellow, orange, orange, etc.) but in that interior you made, they are different colors (Yellow, orange). Not that big of a deal, but accuracy, accuracy, accuracy

Lmao,i just noticed that too!! 

[Orion V CNG #748]

To me, the seats doesn't really matter. As long as you get an exterior its good with me, but if Zero decides to switch up on the seats then thats his decision.

[zerobeats2000]

Thank you guys for the errors you pointed out.  You are all very helpful to make this R44 interior, exterior and panel as perfect as possible.  Just keep in mind that this is JayJay85's interior, not mine.  I can do some more modifications to the interior, but that will be all.  With time running out and continuing to do more fixing, I hope it comes to the perfect interior everyone's looking for in BETA 3.1.  I got a big vacation coming up next week, so I will try send out a BETA 3.1 before I leave.  That means, the following will get corrected:

-The bottom radiators will get done
-The floor resolution will be increased
-Transverse seats will have same colors
-New and improved sounds
-Original trucks that were part of the front and side pics (sorry guys, time)
-Caution signs on R44 SI doors
-Additional improvements DJ Hammers adds to BETA 3.1
-After I test the BETA 3.1 update, it will be sent in to add to the downloads

If these can't get done soon, this project will have to be suspended until after September, and the R40 slant even later. 

Update:



It came out a bit stretched from the b3d file, but I will fix that.

Also be advised the side seats will get touched up.
