Pipes, pipes and more pipes.



I am coming to the end of the unwrapping phase (Thankfully!)
Next up the bake and the textures. I have roped in 'G' to help animate and help with materials.
This Loco pack really is a team effort!

Material setup and texturing has been the order of the day. Texture details, such as text and numbering still need to be added.

Today I've been working on the tender, balancing the colours with the engine, scaling up the logo texture and re-baking the shadow maps.

A1 Tornado



Tom did a fine job on the engine, however since the research trip we noticed a number of bits that needed to be rescaled and a few changes, also updating the materials.
It really does help to have the photographic material in front of you when you start modelling.
