Journal #3540

Working on my Subway train map is progressing with fantastic results! I've coppied the original train and reset all the needed parrameters inorder to make the 2nd car it's own (i.e. renaming the train, resetting parents, etc.) This is my 1st map, and I want to put as much effort into it as i can!

Some screen shots of the interior and exterior of the train:

I plan to have 4 trains in total, 4 cars per train... 16 cars in total! Each individual car has 8 side doors to allow passengers to enter/exit, and 2 end doors to allow movement to other cars. that's 160 doors to parent to the cars!! Not to mention the windows parented to these doors, windows on the train itself, AND the prop dynamics, such as the poles you would normaly find in a subway train.

I've got the occasional custom texture... yes, made with Paint. Most of them are things like law and safety notices, like "Keep appendages away from vents" or "You are required by law to give up this seat to the Elderly or Disabled".

I have a very long road of work ahead of me, but seeing the improvement keeps driving me on!

Ill continue to post my progress over time.
