Have been out on the transit job for over a year and finally got time to convert the old primitive track line type to actual rails, ties, and clamps. But this has also added a lot of items to the base file. I opted to use it as an xref instead to improve data speed, but lately it has been taking 2+ minutes to load the file referencing the tracks as an xref.
how to make the tracks more efficient?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a basic train that I am doing for a project at school. I am doing a fairly advanced extension of this project for some extra credit and I am wishing to make this train be animated.
Since my first name is Jackson, I decided early on to make a track design in the shape of a J (bubble letter). In my class, the only requirement was to make the train go in a straight line.
What I have now: I have two assemblies of both a train, and one of my track design. My thoughts on how to do this. I thought it would be possible to make the train follow a path or something to that effect.
I have been trying to make a train that i made roll on a track. I have seen youtube videos of people who have made their train go around a track (I have the same dimensions as the people in the video through project lead the way).
I have the train constrained to the track with a tangent constraint. How to make the wheels turn on the track (i know how to make the wheels turn, i just do not know how to make all the wheels turn in unison/together and how to make them actually move along the track instead of make the wheels turn in place.
Here is a picture
I have tried in vain to construct a planetary gear train in Inventor 2011 & the spur gear generator hasn't work much since the results are far from good, I have problems getting all the gears to fit together. The Internal gear has a diametrical pitch of d=120mm & the smallest gear a diametrical pitch of d=20mm, the outcome should produce a 6:1 gear ratio. The 3 other gears only offer stabillity, but I still need to know how I get it all to fit together with my measurements?

I have a photograph of a steam train, which i am editing for my grandfather, and i wanted to add a few smaller pictures in the 'steam' from the train? Ideally i was hoping to put 3 or 4 pictures in 'clouds of steam' if that would work?
I have uploaded a pic of a similar train picture, and may even use the steam from it, as it is fuller than the one i will be using.
I have edited a map and a train image which is fine when applied and the preview works fine but as soon as I create the rendered video the path and the train image have moved to a position further down the map, how to see the path and train image in the right place.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to change a train's livery (colour) to another colour that I created with a template livery I made in an external program, leaving in things like windows and reflections in there, but in the new colour.
The problems generally happen with vehicles with multiple colours As an example of what I mean, I'd like to change the colour of this [URL] into something like [URL] I've been looking at various tutorials about how to do this, including many youtube videos, which detail how to change the colours of cars, but they mainly involve anther way including the colorize, which would do the entire vehicle based on HUE, which in this case, wouldn't work due to the multiple colours / shade the original vehicle has, including text.
Other methods use hard light to project various external images onto the body, but this mainly has a large amount of colour fluctuation with the new paint. This method generally gives the best impact when the entire image is white, doesn't say much when I am trying to preserve things like reflections and shading.
I'm trying to reskin an train engine for my Trainz simulator I use.I can do the basics. I am stuck on adding color.When I add the color to the train engine, I loose all the detail on the engine. See attached photo. I try the wand but it unpredictable it's goes where ever it wants to.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rotate a set of wheels that are moving like a locomotive train wheel and having problems. I was able to animate the wheels to move like a locomotive wheel by linking and turning off the z axis inherit for the red rod (see attached images. Image ex04.jpg.)
The problem came when it was time to rotate the whole thing. I grouped everything and rotated the wheels around as a group. As the red rod had is z axis inherit turned off once it started to detach from it location(ex06.jpg), which was kind of expected.
I am not sure what to do to solve this problem. Do i create a bone structure with IK handles to resolve this problem or is there something else better to solve this problem?
I have a video clip of a train moving across the tracks. The camera also pans to follow the path of the train. I want text to sit on the top of the first car of the train as its travels from left to right.
I used Track Camera and then parented text to the Null object.
The problem is that the text has to adjust in size and perspective as the train moves along.
I have tried keyframing these options but the result appears jittery and jumpy as if the text is dancing on top of the train.
The text should be the exact width of the first train.
Tiny in the distance and then large as it approaches cameras.
Also, there appears to be a bug with the text object not displaying the font correctly. I have tried many fonts and each appears inconsistent. I have attached a screen grab.
The red text is how the characters should appear given my font choice. The red is NOT tied to the null object; its just a text layer. The black font is tied to the null object. You can obserce that certain characters are bold and others not. Overall this looks nothing like the font is supposed to appear.
Please note that both titles are the same font. password for the vimeo clip is : train-tracker
what i want to do is to draw a line that represents a train trace over the ground. I started using the camera tracker and creating a null and a camera and then got lost.
