Enjoy!

 

[P.S. The WillyB will be closed and torn down :eek: as I try to make it and the MannyB more realistic in my layouts.] Sorry (J)(M)(Z) trainz riders! We'll have shuttle buses! :(

 

-A :cool:

 

P.S. The signs will be available in both right-hand and left-hand side versions. And REMEMBER--the numbers will be re-nameable where as the titles (ST/GT/MILES, etc) will not.

I'm not good with 3DS Max, so that's BStyles' area of expertise.

 

I use Google Sketchup Pro to export as a .3ds then import into Trainz Asset Creation Studio for GMax, then export to .IM. Then you have to write your config files correctly and commit the asset to Trainz.

 

Once you get the hang of it, it becomes pretty routine and easy.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Btw, quick route update--using Ish6's new awesome elevated stuff, the Broadway-Brooklyn (J)(M)(Z) el is coming along great. We are at Flushing Avenue, heading East! Should make it to B'way Junction and have the Myrtle El completed by tonight!

I'm experimenting with a new type of sign for my layout. Haven't decided whether or not I'm going to include this in the released route yet.

My issue is...there are a million and one different readings for these signs at 468 different subway stations . Since it's a static object--I don't want to make 468 copies, lol. And I don't want you to either!

 

One option would be to do each sign in sections, like how the above sign would be applicable for all s/b platforms on the Astoria line.

 

However, once in Manhattan where there are 20+ subway routes, it can get tricky.

 

I could try getting a script to make the bullets and text changeable...but that'd be a huge undertaking.

 

What should I do? I would very much value your input!

P.S. The sign is 18" high, by 8 feet wide, spaced out every 75' or so. I measured this for a B Div platform (200 meters), so there are 8 of these signs along the entire length of the platform.

More 23rd Street Station

But what do you mean by this "But we need elevated exits instead of ones that lead undergroud"?:confused::confused::confused:

Whats the point of street exits/entrances that go underground when in operation the T/O can't see it.But on elevated there is an exit leading to the mezz which everyone can use and see.

The following is a list of the sections for signs (each section will have 2 signs for each direction). Please make any suggestions or corrections if I've missed anything! Terminals will only have one sign since there's only one direction.

Phew. To make things easier I will release them in sections by route, so the first one to come up will be the (1) & (S) 42 St b/c the IRT is easier and can get done quicker!

Just some screenshots of a subway station-- WIP. Not sure if I'll release this and make part of a larger spline pack or not. BStyles seems to be doing a spectacularly fantastic job, as well as Strain. I just wanted to see if I could actually do it--this is my first station ever. I mean, ever in history. :eek:B)
