Hi, and welcome
to the Virtual side of this page! In here you will find things related
to the game Trainz, and info/pictures of my model(s) of the Railroads of the Cripple Creek District!
But, you will also find stuff about other things I've done in Trainz/gmax
not so much related to the District, as I felt a need to be able to also
show things I do to sort of sharpen my skills so I will learn and do a
better job with Cripple Creek!
There is not much in here
for the moment, but I hope that will change soon - as soon as I'm over
this sort of emptiness feeling I have for the moment. I'm sort of having a
mental/creator block for the time being.
Not done much for the Cripple
Creek projects lately, but I did help out a friend with his Gilpin
Tram projects, using that as sort of a way to learn new techniques and
ways of doing stuff for my own projects.
I do hope I will be back
south soon... J
Just thinks I need a new
computer, more powerful and better for 3D work then the one I'm at for the
moment.
Made a screenshot page of basic Trainz landscape along
CM/MT between Colorado Springs & Divide, CO. Made with HOG
using DEM's/MicroDEM
& TIGER
files...
Added 2 links to Cripple Creek
models of mine on the Auran Download Station (DLS)
Explaining of words...
HOG
Hand Of God - made by a user of
Trainz to help assist the making of landscape with the help of DEM
files.
DEM's
Digital Elevation Model - form
for 3D digitized topographic maps, almost all of USA is available
free on the Internet. Use MicroDEM - or other programs - to read
them.
MicroDEM
A program to read/convert DEM's and other digital
maps.
TIGER
Topologically Integrated Geographic
Encoding and Referencing system - sort of a digital road map showing roads, rivers,
tracks, powerlines and so on, is being used with DEM/MicroDEM to see
where roads, tracks and so on are.
