Thanks to Mr. Railfan, the R38 now has a 100% Photorealistic cab!


Keep in mind that the cab is not fully finished, Mr. Railfan and I are working on further improving it.



Here's some detailed eye candy:

I know I haven't updated this thread much, but Mudwrestle and I have been working on the R38 regardless.

Mudwrestle put a lot of work in to making a 3D underbody for the R38. Here's some screenshots:



This train is nearing completion. Some more work on the interior poles has the be done, and stuff has to be neatened up and polished here and there. I'm hoping to get the R38 released either with the Q line or before the end of November (depending on which comes first).

Wow, you guys killed it with the R46, now this, a pretty well developed skeleton of the R68, I see an awesome static R40 which could be a potential future project, and I see the R143 and R160 in a few screenshots form time to time. You guys have it made as far as trains go. Great job once again.

The R38 exterior is close to finished. I know that the release date for the R38 has been pushed back around 4 months or so, but this was done because of an unperceived drop in the amount of free time I have, as well as to facilitate the completion of a more detailed 3D exterior model to complement the Q line.

Mudwrestle is close to finishing the underbody and exterior bonnet of the R38, following which I will complete some optimization and sound work, following which the train will be released.

Here's some screenshots of the R38 running on the Q line. These have also been posted in the Q line thread:

Looks gorgeous! I'm impressed with the realism! This will definitely be an iconic release.
