Hi People my first post here only because i spend more time in 3dmax then in any Auran forum eheheheh and of course im a registered user at IBTZ some time ago but i can catch all things in the world of Trainz,,,
First of all Many Thanks to Ish they are a good friend and always have innovative ideas to, and Thanks to Alberte a Great trainzer who really likes what they do and a good helper and king person, thanks to Manuel (They already know me for talking in Auran forums and lu_labony a great content Creator from Spain, and of course to all people who frequent this IBTZ forums....
so for people who dont know me yet, there wee go, im Portuguese but i born in Africa Angola a old Portuguese colonies until 1974 i live there several times and in Portugal to in Coimbra City i know Alberte is from Galliza Vigo City very close to the Minho Portuguese Province and the distance bethwin this two city's is no more then 250 km, but i live now in Brasil bahia state in a littoral touristic region called Porto Seguro and my village is arraial da ajuda near this major city, that's why my aka name is Arraial,
I start make content for trainz two years ago only when i acquired the trs2010 game, of course at this time i already know how to work with max because is my Job im a 3d architectural designer this means i receive from the architects the plans in Autocad and make all the final 3d visualization, so i start to learn how to make content in trs2010 and in the very start of that process i know Vulcan a person i admire much not because of the models but because of they innovative and different ideas inside the trainz content, so they help me to give the firsts steps like wee teach to a baby to walk
but, once you already walk no more help from Vulcan, im Guess they have they r reasons and have right to, so i try some more help in this first times and i realize trainzers in auran forums they are not very friendly for helping others in the right way at lest (note i dont knock knock in many doors to maybe if at this time i knock knock in IBTZ forums maybe im more lucky here) i conclude now and i made this,
..if you search tutorials, open example assets make your own research you learn and achieve more and quickly the best results then wee waiting sometimes days for unfriendly answers or wrong ones in trainz Auran forum leading sometimes you in the wrong path and with the resulting loss of time and effort.
So i try always searching new ways and best ways of doing models and setup then with innovative things, of course i have many more ideas for making functional animated industry's and other functional assets, but i always found a great wall at my front and this enemy is SCRIPTING, like you already know im a modeler not a programmer and wee can not be good in all the fields,
of course i can modifies a simple script adapting him to my needs, but i cant write one to make exactly what i want. So i have my limitations because of that, some times wee have some scripts who can make what you want but in the majority of this situations the author dont answer or you cant contact him or..in some cases people start to codifies they r scripts , its a shame they have this decisions because i consider this a greed attitude against all content creators and trainz users to.
They are many thing wrong in the Auran forums people piss in to all the corners with their copyright assets like the dogs do for mark they territory, for good sake i understand very well if is payware material, but if i put in dls a script and make a model my own from scratch or with a already made freeware model from the net, they can re-skin then , they can modifies then or improve then i stay happy if they do it because this makes the trainz world going forward not block them, this is what all creator content mods do it in GTA 2, 3 and v they have a legal Rockstar exporter/IMPORTER and they have the possibility of lock their models when they export then to a dff Gta format model, and guess what.. 80% of this creators leaves they models open and unlocked for others modify and improve creating in this way more new improved models for benefice of all GTA community. This not happen in Trainz in the reality is in the opposite way.
I see some independent sites like IBTZ and others leading the things more clear and more opening without the obtuse ideas of the majority of the content creators in the Auran forums.
Changing of subject... i sent some models to Albert for put him in IBTZ free-downloads section because they have the generous offer to propose me to do it, but i really need help in what assets really are good to put in IBTZ and Alberte what i must do more for uploading that, how the things work around here? i also use many dls dependencies how wee can work this to?
Sorry people for the long introduction and thanks to all for your patience.
