She looks great. Awesome hair! I also like her eyes

Nice cartoony style

Quick test tube1.zip

Ah, yeah. create an action, animate the light within eg 16 frames. put the action on the model in the chor and set the cycle lenght to 1 frame. I'll do a test and see

Hmm, that didn't work.. I have forgotten how u did this trick

Like a fluorescent tube? How about animate the light from one end to the other end within a frame and render with multipass?

Thanks! I hope so. I hope to be able to make some environment for the, and do a few animation tests. But first I have to complete a few other projects

I have kind of gotten addicted to making models from Thomas & Friends, So before I go back working on the Nidaros Cathedral I just had to make yet another contribution to his friends

Inspiring work as always Rodger

Very professional looking render!

If you are going to use decals, you can simply add two images in the same decal image folder. Since it's just drag and drop the second image into the images folder that was created when applying the first they will line up perfectly. Set one to 100% color and one to 0% color. In the chor you can animate their visibility by adjusting the color percentage. And the best of all, it is not limited to just two images, you can add many more

Very nice Ken. Do you mind me asking what the plans for the project is?

Interesting project! I hope you will keep us updated when you start the building of it?

Very nice

Thank you for the nice comments! Actually, Thomas and Henry are one of the more simple models I have made lately. Thomas is at about 10,000 patches, and Henry is at 18,000 patches. And that is with everything beveled

Thank you Gene

Hi Due to lack of reference images I had to take a break from the cathedral. Poor Thomas looked so lonely, so I decided to make him a friend By the way. In near future I plan on making more of his friends, so if anyone know of any great resource pages for these trains such as blueprints or reference images, please let me know. Turntable: Still:

Thank you Nancy! I will most likely add the statues on the west front. I hope to make a generic model that I will equip with various props and make various poses according to the real statues. It takes between 2 and 3 hours rendering each image at 100% AO as you mentioned. I don't dare aiming the trebuchet toward this model

More done to the Octagon. The main structure is almost done. Just minor additions to the Octagon, and there is a wall missing on the south side (I don't have reference images of that wall because the wall is covered up due to maintenance)

I enjoy your updates more and more! Looking very much forward to the next strips.

What do you mean by splitted in two? Can you add a screenshot?

It does not need to be non-continuous as long as you peak the spline (hit [P] on the CP you want to be sharp). Also, in your case maddle, add the spline diagonally (lower left CP to upper right CP, not lower left to upper left)

Very nice tutorial Eric!

Thanks! Here is yet another update. Have started on the Octagon. Have also made the towers and wall facing the Octagon
