first small tests for a tram simulator

Hi,

just for fun I've started to build an own little tram simulator... .

Currently I'm just playing around with the engine and try to find out if it works for my needs, or not... .

I just want to show the first result, a subway station... .

I've build the model of this station for Trainz some time ago, but now I can use it in an own environment...

The graphics look nice.

Indeed, very nice texturing....

Did you make the textures on your own?

haven't i been there before? ok, how'd you pay off enough people to take that picture with a camera? there's now way!

Mmmm, I can almost smell it ... *Blearg*

Very nicely done!

Great amount of detail.

the station has been a 4 day work, including taking the pictures for the textures... .

Since I'm completely lost, if it comes to paint textures myself, I'm bound to stuff, I could photograph and mix it together into the texture file (the whole station uses a single 1024x512 texture, mixed from around 20 different pictures, if I remember right).

Now I have to include some track and the train into my world... .

This is just a render... .

It's all about the textures, nice stuff

Nice work. Any chance to try the demo?

It's great when C++ programmers are also talented in 2D graphics and 3D modelling.

Awesome graphics! So kcornels, what do you think of irrlicht?

only suggestion i would make (all else being just brill), is to add bump mapping to the walls and floor of the station. cheers.

Yeah I agree the floor could use some parallax mapping

(Theres a tool that lets you generate normals maps from ordinary textures if I remember correctly, else just grayscale it and it should have a similar effect if you tweak it right.)

and spacular map... perhaps phong lighting?

Very Cool!
