Guyyyyys I lied i worked on the frame and am very happy with it, also completely reworked the brake system it is not accurate thanks you locomotive cyclopedia.

will share more tomorrow, break from frame, i'll polish everything else and be back to it. The frame isn't really a focus anyway, that part will be in the shadows. I'm thinking about jist blocking it out for deadline monday and see feedback

This particular project will be for my demo reel, flr hard surface modeling for vfx. I'm not held to absolute accuracy on all details but usually better to have it, I will say that I've spend a bit too much time on the frame so i'll circle back later

I just realized you used blender and not maya, same applies, just different tools. the planning out is the same

Maybe @karamelizedsoda.bsky.social or any #b3d user could help me. How to build this shape (rod base with a gusset/rib), while having a correct edge flow and maintaining a perfectly circular base in SubD? I can't wrap my head around this. Reposts appreciated.

Hiya that still helped, I'm mostly curious about usual arrangements for tender undercarriage. This is how far i got from the internet, can't really figure out the framing and what tachnical pieces should be there. I think I got something in for the air brakes but i'm probably missing stufd

ofc now i realize i forgot to unhind the tender beams

Some Lambert 1 pics for your eyes, I'll render some with blinn later. Been working on it for a month now, not really anything too hard to model, just a lot of pieces. What takes the longer is always camera matching and figuring out the shapes Keeping bolts and screws for last, same time as worble

Yo peeps, been a long long while, been focused on this model Recreating the Baldwin 26, and that's why i wanted to post. I've been working on the back tender, especially the boggie. Reference is kind of lacking. So I was curious to know if anyone knew people interested in talking about trains

Forgot to post an update before the break, so here are some screenshots from my high poly! I am reserving some inner detailing for the texturing process, just to make sure I can finish the project on time. If I have extra time, I can always go back before I bake. On to retopology. 👍 #ProjectWIP

unsurprisingly I think, it's pretty clear that i moved onto refining too fast, i'll go back and camera match my blockout properly. (not, wasted as i can still reuse the panels) But i don't want to work on a bad base. lacked motivation so i kept going at it, but i'll fix that tomorrow and start fresh

Happy new year! 明けましておめでとうございます。 To kick off 2026, I decided to create a profile on Bluesky. As a 3D artist passionate about urban environments, I enjoy sharing photos of Tokyo and randomly talking about video games I enjoy. So follow me if that sounds interesting to you I guess.

Better late than never! I've been slowly chipping away at updating renders and getting my #mayterials from earlier this year ready to post. I finally sat down knocked the last of it out over the holiday break. They're up on Artstation now, let me know what you think!

thanks and definitely, i'll work on that, the scale of it is also very small so i try to take that into account too. Played around with splatters tpday and i think the shell will need a more uniform thin layer of dust on it
