Good point, I'll try doing that actually!

- when ive got time of course haha, but this would be super useful

Also, why not fix and improved this one?

This is the notes I have for a 3D model from a heightmap in blender :

Blender

Add Box

Add Subdivision Surface (simple)

Render and view to 8

Add Displace

Add *Heightmap* texture on displace modifier

Set texture coordinates to UV

Set modifier Strength 0.025

Export as .obj 0.031

Done

For the scale, I saw you do it real size in blender and export at a scale of 0.031 on the export options.

@Jake4159 Hahaha, I feel like I learnt a lot from making this map as it became quite an arduous bit of work for my GPU as I neared the final stages of detailing. Currently I am working on a few real-life inspired railways that are around the area I grew up on, and for that I am slowly starting to implement 3D terrain from blender.

So far, it's been a bit challenging to properly sculpt and mould things while keeping the scale, but I think it's a learning process that I have to do on my own so I can deal with trial and error and ensure for best results when I upload more layouts. But thanks for the offer though.

And I promise to have less rocks on the track next time!

The round houses need to be a bit deeper, I can't fit my AC4400.

A bit too many rocks directly on the rails though.

This shows how my gpu runs your map.

I would even recommend a second version of this with a 3D landscape.

I am having trouble playing it.

As a real life train conductor, I love your map. Not too aggressive curves, no pointless railway switches so far and various biomes.

I am very motivated into showing you how to use 3D models for the landscape. This would allow you to make bigger maps with more fps.

My 12gb Gpu is hurting a bit though.

You should make use of a 3D model for the landscape. It saves a lot of fps.

Excellent map. No pre added trains means I can set things how I want.

nice

Absolutely incredible. Probably going to take a couple years off my GPU's life though

so detailed it crashed my pc, 10/10

wow it ran rlly smooth

well either my laptop is about to combust or its gonna be a slide show (one that worth it at least)

Haven't even played and it looks incredible. Probably gonna cause my poor PC to re-enact Chernobyl if I tried to load it up, though.

@Max I'll consider doing that

@Trainguy3608 Maybe try putting your graphics on a lower setting before opening the map. It is a very large and detailed map so I'm sorry if you can't load it.

how do i stop it from crashing when its loading?

Do An Electric Rail Layout Similar To The N.E.C Northeast Corridor

whao

This looks fantastic!!

Cant wait to take a look at it!
