Description Well then. After about 3 months of "work" which mostly means procastination I present to you the new and improved Friendship Express!
The entire set has been completely redone from scratch, with references from the show. It now also has a fully fledged, and modular interior.Β 
The exterior of the train is now fully rigged and has pre-made moving sequences ready for use in SFM and GMod.
Some of the interior pieces are also rigged!

There's also a conductor pony now, So you can finally put something in the engine!

The zip file includes three image "tutorials" on assembling the train, and one readme file on installation and a list of models. It also has the sounds of the train, ripped straight from the show.

If you end up using the train somewhere (Poster, Video etc), all I ask of you is to give credit and provide a link to this download page. And if you're feeling like it, post your creation in a comment! I'd love to see what you people can come up with.

Special thanks to Discopears, for teaching me like 90% of what I know of Blender, and helping me fix a multitude of problems with models.

So yeah. Until next time, have fun with this.Β 

UPDATE 2!
- Fixed some sounds.
- Fixed SSAO on some models.
- Fixed a rigging problem in the engine's interior.

For some odd reason, whenever I look at any of the train models (both cars and engine) from the sides of my camera, they will suddenly disappear after re-scaling them using the scale control tool.
If I get them back into focus of my camera after being re-scaled, then they will reappear again but will still disappear if placed on the sides of the camera. Not sure if this is either a bug or it is only happening to me. Good models though!

RenderPoint In reply to DANJ16 [2017-08-09 13:33:46 +0000 UTC]

I think that's got to do with SFM's scaling, not the models themselves.

Can this train be Driveable in gmod like SligWolf or CrazyBoxHead in workshop?

I can't script things like that.

I've just downloaded this recently but I'm getting texture errors.

Is there any proper way I can arrange the files of this into my Gmod folder?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

RenderPoint In reply to R-J-M-Studios [2016-09-10 08:48:17 +0000 UTC]

Can you send a picture of the texture errors?

And what do you mean by "arrange the files into the GMod folder"?

R-J-M-Studios In reply to RenderPoint [2016-09-10 10:36:45 +0000 UTC]

I dunno how I'm supposed to do that, but I'm getting that pink/black checkers texture bug all over the models.

And when I say arrange the files, I mean how to put the files in my addons folder after I unzip them.

A quick google search brings back this.

And did you happen to rename any folders included? Mainly in the "materials" folder?

R-J-M-Studios In reply to RenderPoint [2016-09-10 12:36:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the help, I'll see if that works...

And no I have not.

RenderPoint In reply to R-J-M-Studios [2016-09-11 19:35:19 +0000 UTC]

That's weird...

To my knowledge, all textures are included and correctly placed.

Wow, that almost looks vectored from the thumbnail! What did you model it in?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

RenderPoint In reply to JetPowerFIE [2016-08-29 08:16:33 +0000 UTC]

Modelled in Blender using a ton of references from Hasbro's own 3D model from S5. (Well, except the interior)

I feel like this whole set will end up lagging my SFM when I go to using it XD

RenderPoint In reply to MelodiSmol [2016-08-28 19:33:03 +0000 UTC]

Shouldn't happen, I've built one or two very complex scenes with it and it still worked fine

Glaber In reply to MelodiSmol [2016-08-28 20:41:15 +0000 UTC]

I'd recommend getting some more ram regardless of using this model or not. SFM can be resource intensive.
