I don't see a-lot of winter screens so I thought it'd make a neat thread. Show us any of your shots from winter or late, late, late fall. Yes you can post pics of chairlifts/gondolas, and snowplows. So grab some hot chocolate and show us your shots!
First 3 from TER's Apalanchian Winter.
Last from MCS Island Public Beta. Avalible at TCS.
However, I liked your thread and decided to post a few screenies to keep the ball rolling.
I knew I should have started this thread in winter.
Just thought I would resurrect this thread, as it is now January and a few of us are experiencing the cold snowy winter......Enjoy these shots of a little layout I found on the DLS called pyr.
Thanks to photobucket for the free imaging.
What are those ickle trees/shrubs you've used in the foreground please?
Just a little something to jumstart this thread. CLEAR!
The Canadian, due to heavy snow in the Canadian Rockies, has been detoured over Milwaukee Road lines, but it is not much of an improvement.
Hello for everybody! Good pictures! I brought some own.
Hy everyone! Thanks for all praises. Unfortunately that platform roof is not available now days, because who created deleted from the dls. Otherwise his name is Zuhi and he made a lot of good hungarian stuff.
The two quote tags spring to mind.
That last shot is great, spikerod. Nice work.
It has been slated for 24.December :wave: .
It has been slated for 24. Dezember :wave: .
UP 844 stops for a layover in South Dakota because the track conditions are a little iffy due to the 30+ inches of snow being dropped by the blizzard.
Thanks for kindly words folks.
Sorry if you guys saw this pic earlier, but I saw that it had had an error.
...only 3 Baseboards. This modul shows a part of an abandon 750mm narrowgauge route in eastern germany (near Dresden) arround 1965.
Having a bad day. Posted image in the wrong thread!
Hy everyone! I bring some new and a little old picture.
Awesome shot! Good work Gabi, I should say that the catenary is completing the shots.
May I ask you were can I found this catenary?
Nice shots Gabi! Where can I find the trees in your pics?
I'm sorry but I can not remember making those trees. can you check this once more as I no longer have my old collection of winter trees.
IT's WINTERTIME in trainz land YOHO with tons of fresh powder last night.
very nice shot but in wintertime the look more filty no car wash nearby lol!
thanks Jan if you compliment my winter shots of Lake Louise. The rout is full of super great views to many to take pictures you can imagine.
I did alter trees of DMdrake but got big trouble now in TS2009 with the blending. sometimes it happened little bit in TRS 2006 but not worth correcting but here it is like fireworks the wrong way. the transparency, blending whatever caused the wrong first and second to see and what's behind is big time lost in 2009 especially under a certain viewing angle, sometimes it looks normal but the closer you get to eye height viewing you'r in trouble and same for the spline roads and powerlines, not only Drakes stuff. Guessed maybe you have any idea what's causing it and what to do about it.
I looked for wintertrees on the dls but never find real nice once I can use in splines for the massive forests in my Canadian route.
Most important is that you're not shy of creating a route with tons of boards to give the real feeling of a realistic route with fake backgrounds or covered by forest, Nooo I prefer panoramic long distant views and run the trains with zfar 8000 m In TS 20090 that's a nice feautre now but limited to 5.000m but if you go into the settings you can easily alter them to higher and still run fine!
What you see here is Yoho national Park near Stephen or better the kicking horse pass with the famous loops going up to Lake Louise from Field.
If you like the picts i post some more.
DM drake is the MR. tree himself with all the nice trees he has made:) . And David always keep the poly's down to still having a great look.
..Back to your question...., I have tried out some 06 assets from my collection and they looked ok. Then I tried to get the alpha PURE B/W, but the result looked wierd. I checked out a 'build - in' grass object in 09 and the alpha was greyscale blended. Still the grass looked ok so i really don't know what reason this happends.
I prosess my image files with photoshop and add the selection to the alpha - channel, then I save the alpha as an embedded .tga. This seems to be the 'safe' way to avoid problems of this kind so I have used this method on my latest assets.
Can you try out some of my latest uploads and see if you have this error or not?
Jan here at TRainzdev you can my problem in TS2009.
I will keep you posted and thanks again.
This problem happends with splines, and as your shot shows, this is also a TRS09 problem, the background 'shines through' the spline. I do not have any solution to this, but if you use scenery objects instead of splines, the scenery objects seems to be more 'resistant':o (than splines) to this problem....don't ask me why...But if you use the 'copy and paste' method the trees will deploy at ground level. This way you can place large number of trees in short time.
forgot to tell you yhe picts are from TS2009. In TRS 2006 some Drake trees had that shiny look through little bit but not as massive and road splines not at all.
Many thanks Roy, this however is not my route.
Zuper Spikerod, wunderschon no more words just gaze.
missing catenary poles right or to far distance??
Is that an edit in photobucket?
Yes, it's a long distance between catenary poles :) .
do'nt worry its still a very nice cool shot.
Those are some nice shotz spikerod!
Now that is gorgeous Spikerod, well done and thanks for putting that shot up.
Spikerod - I have to ask - where did all the winter FMA bridges come from?
Chris, the winter FMA bridges (also winter embankments, viadukts etc.) are on DLS!
The bridges you see are the same, i have used different bridge fences (also FMA).
I thought I had all the Vendel assets, especially bridges and use them a lot (they are superb) but I never found any with snow tracks. Have I missed them?
Thanks for the info Spikerod, I'll take a look!
Just the one from me..
Yes Chris, you've found them. This day is saved :) .
Spikerod, I love all the shots that you have put onto this thread. You've posted some damn good shots!
Thank you very much. With my winter screens that suits, because it snowed in Berlin today ;) .
Just a few of a load of tank cars going through the pass.
Oha -your content in TS 2009! Looks good, i appreciate your good work:) .
Congratulations on your fantastic shots folks :cool: !
Very impressive shots George :) !
Spike, may I ask you where you got that snowplow from? Would it be on the DLS by chance?
Look under TRS 2004 > Scenery > Autos > S 4000.
