Your Video Animated 3D Steam Train test Is Very Useful Sharing

[TheMiniCooper97]

I like trains.

[zenarchitect]

great expressions on the face! i love watch mechanical parts work so well in animation. its so rewarding to make! the struggling and wiggle is very well done. i've been wanting to do more realistic work with trains someday when i have time ;)

[Nickuk1987]

very good. I'm trying to animate a train myself but having a hard time getting the wheel motion correct. I'm using 3ds max 2010 any chance you could explain how you did the animation on the wheels?

[exveefan]

@Nickuk1987

I just use the simple method of using a Rotation Constraint, found under the animation tab along the toolbar.

And link the other wheels to your main wheel.

That way you only have to control one wheel, and the other do the same thing.

Rods rotate in a similar method using wired parameteres so you can tell them to rotate in the opposite direction.

@exveefan Excellent thank you, my Green Arrow will look a bit more realistic now

[papi3d]

thats so cute :)

[clinthudson1226]

[Articwarfaresniper]

[straswa]

Awesome model and effects! Well done!

[TransportFan]

where do you get the animation



[sketchuphelpful]

[babx13]

i thought that was kool

[BramGroatFilms]

I think that this train looks more expressive than Casey Jr. does.

[1230luigi]

[poeppolitie]

This reminds me of Dumbo hehe! Doesnt it?

[BramGroatFilms]

I like it!

[trainlover479]

[woodie3]

To the poster whose 2 year old wants to watch it ove rand I over, I feel your pain. Mine does too!

Nicely done!  :-)

[gigsywigsy45]

[texanfray]

Thank you for posting this.  My two year old requires that we watch it over and over again everyday. He loves the whistle!

[clubpenguintvbillyCP]

how you made it

[exveefan]

As I said to other, Animation is done on 3D max.

[norfolkdash9]

Wow I have done animation in 3ds Max but that was amazing!

[powerstar09]

Cool train

[KirbyForce1]

What Do You Use To Make It Sound Like "All Aboard! Lets Go!"?

[exveefan]

Read the video description on the left.

[SSBloxLines]

All Aboooard! Let's go!

[SSBloxLines]

I love Casey Jr even though I'm 10! I still have "Dumbo" on DVD, My parents gave it to me ^^

[IrishRail123]

i think thats awsome

[ctmajka]

WHOA! I just noticed the whistle says "All Aboaaard! Let's Go!"

[donaldengine9]

It's the whistle from Casey Jr. in the Disney Movie, Dumbo

[Maximumbandit09]

lol it breaks down

[S8clothing]

my son LOVES it!

[exveefan]

He might like the new video I posted not to long ago.

[MrThomasAndWALLE]

sweet.

[leokimvideo]

great work, that whistle has character

[mooneyman07]

Brilliant. XD Great job on matching Casey Junior's flexible look.

[owlking149]

I belive it uses the Casey Jr soundtrack from Dumbo.

[trainboy94]

do you have any plans for this model like put it in a story or something like that????????

[exveefan]

Would like to someday.

[TheEMan276]

It's the new Casey Jr! Keep up the good work!

[exveefan]

Not quite, but Casey Jr did inspire me to try and model a train that can move like him.

[BlueSapphireRanger]

Very impressive!

[jedi725]

can you make a video of your steam train in roller coaster tycoon 2

[exveefan]

Isn't there an american style loco in the game already?

[mooneyman07]

Would be awesome to see it's exact livery though. ;P

I wouldn't mind seeing you make the other Thomas characters either...or other thomas themed rides...Thomas land on RCT Anyone? ;)

[brownsellr08sd]

yes there is

[JoeltheSwedishDragon]

Brilliant!

[donaldengine9]

In the whistle, I can hear: "ALL ABOARD!! LET'S GO!!"

[Traininghopper]

Nice touch adding NWR on the tender.

[jjkozul]

Cool Vid. Are you MSTNoodle, by any chance?

[exveefan]

I use to know him.

[RayTheTrainEngine]

Very impressive animation there =)

[sonicxthomasexpert]

I see you finally put wheels on that engine.

[exveefan]

Yeah, I finally get around to adding them.

Originally I wanted the wheels and the rods to be flexible as well like the body, but I couldn't the idea to work, So I left them as they are.

[missoliverandblossom]

Awesome

[thomasthekiller2]

this rocks
