Hi, this is my first time posting my 3d work here at cgtalk.com and i have to say i'm pretty nervous.
This is a steam locomotive i have just finished. It's based on the Challenger Class locomotives from America. Modelling was pretty straightforward... extruding and chamfering simple shapes and some lofting.
I learned alot about optimizing my geometry and textures because i got some rendering problems after awhile. (textures becoming white etc.) These problems were quickly eliminated with the help of the 3dsmax thread here at cgtalk. So after deleting alot of backfaces it all worked fine again.
Well i hope you all enjoy it and comments are more then welcome!
Reinier.
