Thanks guys user added image

soreel did you model the train in your animation and most importantly how did you animate the wheel and piston motion ?
I do plan to animate this train eventually when finished but the thought of keeping piston and rods and wheels in sync is a bit scarey..lol

Thanks Peltra ...he's an update of the undercarriage.
still lots to do and it's getting complicated and crowded ..hehe.
this is a rendered wire.. and i did notice that not all the wire is visible on the render mostly because I didn't want to set the normals to hard at this time , but you can still get the idea.I will try and post a full train render as soon as I finish the undercarriage.
as always C & C welcome user added image

Very nice!!! love the detail!! and yes I modeled the train. I used MEL expressions to animate the wheels - the idea is to be able to move the train and the wheels move on their own including the pistons.

will save you headaches when you get to the animation - you don't have to key frame every single frame - all you key is the train. everything else is linked as a child or a group.

Hey,

Just for fun, here's a train engine I did that never got textured. I also had it setup to move the wheels automagically, but with driven keys, as I find you don't have to spend time trying to find out the right equation, and I had so many "joints".
