Hello everyone!
I've published a mod that gives more catenary poles configurations in form of assets with also some new aspect of the poles, like a rusted version and a bended tie rod version. https://steamcommunity.com/sha…iledetails/?id=2431280092
The piano ribassato / revamp expansion pack has been published on steam
The Trenord Repaint was inevitable! https://steamcommunity.com/sha…HRXHbUy6uwEzGw5_uJJ44O244
Happy to be back and on rails! (Thanks RaptorArk for not giving up to call me a strunz )
Qualcuno mi ha evocato sacrificando un capretto! Io sto (stavo, prima del letargo) lavorando alla versione diesel dello Stadler, il GTW! Esistono già due versioni dello Stadler Flirt (elettrico) in livrea TPER e Trenord (bianca e striscia verde) ma sono state fatte per Transport Fever 1 e bisogna convertirle tramite, appunto, il convertitore TPF1->TPF2 in mod per il secondo capitolo del gioco
did you seen one guy made UK orient expres, well it does not look bad but its not that right orient expres
You mean the one for transport fever 1? It's quite good, in my opinion! The only downside is that when use it in Tpf2 the roof is too bright
When do you think that it'll be ready?
It depends on what other things I've to do in these months! I would like to finish it before the next year, but it's difficult to make predictions on a such complicated model
And also an update of the interior! Is almost finished and I'm very pleased with how it resembles the reality (floor's color is the only thing that don't make me satisfied)! It hardly will be imported in the game without any modification (probably, there are more polygons here than in an entire "multiple unit" model of the game) but it's a good starting point!
Etr 450 "Pendolino" update
I think I figured out why the windows were asymmetric! There were some carriages with longer cabins and other with shorters (maybe to accomodate the catering facilities).
So I had to increase the variety of carriages to work on, bringing the number of these to six (more than half of the train) but, luckly this time italians weren't strunz and they make the configurations identical with only different combinations of elements.
I've done almost all the interiors, apart of the restaurant carriage, that was converted with passengers seats before entering on service, and the "vestibule" area.
The bogies are almost ready, thanks to the fact thatI found a video that shows them very well.
The seats I've done are a bit too much inaccurate, so I'll probably rework them.
There's a lot of details to be done... the more I look, more I found them... but the work is going forward rather quickly! However, when I'll finish everything, it will be also necessary a review of all the models I did to import the train in the game without being too much heavy... and probably I will also make a "lite version" without some details and with simplified interiors
is this pendolino still using in italy?
No, it was dismissed some years ago! They were all demolished except for one, saved and in process of restoring by Fondazione FS
Hi everyone!
Long time since I've posted some update on ETR 450 "Pendolino" model, but here is a screenshot of what i've been working in these days! I really enjoy working on this train, but for now, it's far to be imported in the game, sadly! I'm building the model on sketchup and the conversion into a blender model takes a bit more of effort! In these days I've been working mainly on the interior, trying to recreate the first historical version of this train... the seats I've done are a bit incorrect, so maybe I will modify these to be as much possible as they were. There's still some work to d on the bogie, but i've found some drawings and videos that maybe will help me. I've to do the other carriages' interiors, that are almost the same as the first, apart from the mythical restaurant carriage, that never entered in service as I've discovered.
I'll do also the driving cabin (that it was documented enough) and some exterior details
I'm thinking about trying the method sketchup uses for the uv maps (it could save me a lot of work), so using a small texture for every material, but it''s only hypothetical at the moment!
I'm working also on E414 to make it ready for texturing
Triggered when someone says etr450 or e414! 😝
Sorry! Sono mooooooooooooooooolto lento! Ma sono in lavorazione e in realtà anche a buon punto! Scusate l'attesa, forse qualcun'altro li avrebbe fatti più velocemente!
Anzi, in realtà con la e414 sono un po' fermo a causa delle textures... Se qualcuno riesce a farle e ad applicarle, mi farebbe un super piacere e probabilmente farebbe uscire il treno prima!
A mio parere non c'è niente di male a provare a fare treni recenti che mancano, anzi, sono delle buone basi di partenza! Dell'italo evo e dei nuovi regionali c'è sicuramente bisogno!
Molti che giocano a Transport Fever sono giovani e conoscono soprattutto qui treni!
Sennò, comunque mancano un sacco di altri treni! C'è solo l'imbarazzo della scelta 😁
I'm currently working on the Stadler GTW, a diesel and recent regional train in some italian regions' liveries. But i'm working on the e414 too and I'm a bit slow, so they needs some time to come out.
The model is almost completed, I've to finish the diesel engine's parts (the model I've started from was from Denesberky for tpf1 and it was in the electric version) and make 2 of 3 liveries.
Buonasera!
Yeah I think i have been uncovered! My secret project is the e414 locomotive! I've build it to match the eurofima coaches that already are in the game! I was hoping to finish it before the holidays but, as you have seen, i haven't yet... I'm on texturing: i'm going to make the Intercity Sun livery, the Frecciabianca livery and the Euro Star City Italia livery. Also i want to make a cabin that i more detailed than usual to grant awesome cab-rides 😁 This is the first train that i build from scratch, so i had to learn new things, but when i'm finish it, i'll be able to do finally the mega-waited etr450 pendolino!
I'm procrastinating the date i will restarting to work on the mods, but as the university lessons starts, maybe i will have quieter days for finish my projects!
danibon1 if you want to start working on the e401-e402a or also modifying it in e402b, you're welcome in our modding team! 😁
Magari alcune cose non le ho scritte bene in inglese, se hai bisogno di qualsiasi chiarimento, posso anche risponderti in italiano!
(N.b. the locomotive color in this shot is too dark, i've already made corrections and now is better looking)
A secret locomotive? What a "mattacchione" is this TheMetroMan94 😝 I'm going to look forward to it 🤣 Regarding the "modelled professionally" part, Licaon now has a competitor on making models for Tpf2 with SketchUp 😁
P.s. i put the ATRs aside for a moment as i was ready to concentrate more on using blender! As I finish this project, I will return on making them and probably i will achieve to do things better
Hi everyone!
I want to show you what i'm working on in this period! 😁 I asked to Denesberky if i could make the ATR 115 & 125 from his model of the Stadler Gtw that he made for Transport Fever 1, and he gave me the permission to convert it for Tpf2 and work on it!
Currently, I'm working on blender in order to make the model as similar as possible to the one used by the Italian Railways.
You can see how the front carriage has already changed in the picture below.
Naturally, i'm working on this train because I want to add it to the Trenord fleet, but i'm planning to make other 2 liveries, the one from Sistemi Territoriali (from Veneto) and the one from SAD (Trentino - Alto Adige / Südtirol)
More updates soon 😁
(And please, if someone knows how i can remove the grid effect on the windows, tell me because I don't know yet how to fix it)
Published right now a surprise mod on the workshop!
It's simple and has been "short" on making ("only" a day)
It's the classic concrete fence used by the italian railways, useful for italian themed schonebau/dioramas
There is a version that has that area in gray and another that has it in green
The biggest mistake is that i've not painted the doors with the white stripe, but that would have been a lot of work and I think it's not so visible
Trenord livery repaint mod is avaliable on steam 😁 https://steamcommunity.com/sha…id=2132304779&searchtext=
Hi everyone!
Currently I'm learning how to mod, and before doing the Etr 450 project I've decided to go with a more "soft approach" so I can make the "Pendolino" better, faster and easier.
So I have chosen to do some repaint and try modifying an existing mesh. I've started from DomTrain's regionals pack (I asked him the permission to work on it) and making one of the most popular regional livery, the classical Trenord's.
Trenord is the company that operates the regional train trasportation in Lombardy and make use of, for the most part, repainted train cars from Trenitalia.
Almost all trains in DomTrain's pack are common in this company, except for the MDVE coaches.
I also edited the texture map of old Denesberky's models so the writings are readable in the correct verse on both sides
The models repainted are:
e464
MDVC
MDVC semipilota non passante
MDVC semipilota passante
Vivalto
Vivalto Semipilota
Also, i've attached to this post a preview image I have to do the UI icons and then the mod will be ready for be published!
Next I'm planning to make more Trenord repaints: I will make the livery for the Piano Ribassato coaches and, if the author will let me, the Stadler GTW
Hi everyone!
Here some updates on the ETR 450 model
These days I have worked a lot on it but I may slow down in the future, so don't expect a lot of frequency in the updates.
I've done a lot of progress in the exterior but there is still a lot of work to do! However, you can see the level of detail i'm keeping and I'm not sure if this is going to make this model really heavy for the game or not. I'm trying to keep the small parts as components, so I may give them a smaller render distance.
I'm planning to do a detailed interior too, at the moment i'm looking towards the "white interior, red stripes and green (or blue) seats" palette. If someone knows how was the original interior (because it was changed, so i'm not sure which was the first one), I will be very happy if you share this knowledge with me!
I have done:
- The horn (but I will modify it because a part is incorrect as I have later found a more detailed photo)
- Refined the roof and detailed the bulge
- Doors and handrails
- Lateral windows (there are some small ones to do, but the bigger ones are finished) with different configurations from carriage to carriage
- Wheels and start of the bogie
- Carriage's ends (not finished)
- Signal handler on the cowcatcher
- Adjusted the red color and now it's more realistic
- FS style track (pretty accurate but it's just for beauty) but it would be awesome to have also some italian style tracks in the game (I use the URSS track mod, but it has an annoying texture problem at junctions)
If you have any suggestion, just answer here, i will appreciate any help! And if you want to talk in italian, i'm on the Transport Fever 2 Italian Fans forum created by Mauri
yeah, mainly cause importing the thing in the game is a bestemmia with no end
I can imagine! We'll see if I can reach that phase! I will try to make it as easier as possible to work with
Do you also plan to make the ETR 401, the first Pendolino?
With that beautiful project, it should come up with very few changes.
We follow you. I repeat, great job.
Thank you! I know about the ETR 401 but I rather to do not add it as a goal... because the shape is almost identical but there are a lot of small differences between them and I am already struggling to find good photos of the details of the ETR 450.
Maybe in the future, if i accomplish to end this project, I will try to adapt it in order to make the ETR 401
