Sr1 progress - cabin

After many hours I managed to get the weather glass map somewhat smaller. Contrary to the otherwise fine tutorials at ChrisTrains the rain drops seem to be independent of texture size/resolution. What matters is assigned UV space, thus to get smallest water drops you have to scale that part in UV editor to fill most of the space, using multiple bitmaps if necessary.

The retexturing process is approaching its end and soon I can start implementing the functionality and sounds to the locomotive. Here is a night cabin shot in rain.

Its raining today...(still have to reduce the drop size a bit)

(Also I am trying to find realistic gamma values for textures)

Texturing miscellaneous stuff around cab. Very slow work. If anyone has close up photographs of fuse box/windscreen heating selector mounted on observers side of control desk then I'll gladly accept them by email: sama1@hotmail.fi .
