Welcome to a new mini-series called "Trainz Theory". In this series, I'll be going over my general thought processes and theories behind creating things in Trainz Simulator. In this first episode, I focus on route building from scratch from the initial idea, to final testing stage. I showcase a look into my workflow in Trainz along with giving some general tips along the way. Route building can be a daunting task sometimes so hopefully this video will help give you some new ideas, or a new way to look at Trainz route building!

Something I do with forested areas is use a browner hue of ground cover within the forest to reflect having less light hit the forest floor and a ground covering of decaying leaves. For those forested areas I usually use splines instead of individual trees. Oh, and currently use TANE. Previously had 2006 then 2009.

I used to put clumps of grass round the bottom of telegraph poles but it got tiring after a hundred of them. I use Ger Forest texture in forests.

As someone new to the whole Trainz experience, I found this extremely helpful. I have my own ideas and want to do my own series. Granted this will take a lot of time and patience, but I'm confident I can do this. Thanks for the tips and advice. Look forward to seeing more in this series. Keep up the excellent work.

I appreciate this video greatly! The railroad tracks along my line are extremely remote or on the back roads and old by ways deep in the Appalachian Mountains. alot of the track is hard to view unless you walk on them so this gave me a little inspiration.

Your video was posted some time ago but I just came across this, thank you for the tips & tricks here (just getting into Trainz). I bought 2019 version but hardly did anything with it & now just bought a 1yr subscription 2022 version so I need all the help I can get. Half of the battle for myself is just navigating around in Trainz, but it's coming along. Gotta start somewhere LOL. Thanks again!

I use SAM VS Grass 2 as my default grass texture and SAM VS embankments because they have the most realistic grass texture and in the case of the ground texture the grass no repeating pattern. Since the embankments and grounds match you don't get an ugly outline at the bottom of the embankment. I have only built 3 routes and someone on a modelling forum commented on the signalling on one of my videos "You need more signalling and your distant signals aren't right". I replied that the signalling was 100% accurate to the actual real life signalling and was measured from OS 25" to the mile maps so every signal was exactly where it was in reality. He never admitted he was wrong but gave me a like !

Speaking of railway routes, I think I have a few railway routes you could design in the future specifically around a Virginia theme. Some of the crossings we have are… rather unique compared to some other regions of the country.

This is the most helpfull video for modelling i have ever come across with no segways or distractions in the message. That pattern you get in soil tectures has always annoyed me. Thats there is Gold to me, great stuff. But...lol....i Quote:" ...even the flattest of locations have some kind of hills or dips...." i call bullshit. Ride the Indian Pacific (trans Continental Railway) across the Nullabor Plain in Australia 1108 Miles(1783 km) with a 297mile (480km)section that is dead straight.

@Dirigo207 2 года назад

I bought my first version of Trainz in 2015. And its taken until now to start to be able to say im pretty mediocre at things like terrain work and detailing. Im going all out with a massive urban scene currently as I continue to experiment with my skills and such. Its fun but trainz is very tedious is all I'll say. Good to have a video to throw some basic tips out for how to just get started.

the only tip i have is only use the PBR textures in areas like ballast or concrete, it looks alot better then the 2D ballast imo

@AussieGunzel Год назад

Another thing you forgot was the custom traffic on the DLS, IE right hand drive DLS, trust me it makes the road traffic way better for background activity.

As someone whos made extensive use of the TS2~ world editor, (chech out my Lackawanna Mainline in the Steam workshop), its amazing to see how much easier the Trainz world editor looks to use. TS is really not a productive way to build routes.

@DmitriSkif 2 года назад

There's no need to use billboard trees as backline, if SpeedTreez You're using have a proper made LODs. Every SpeedTree asset has the last LOD made as a billboard, so your forest will be full-detailed at closer look and plain and fast billboarded at distant ranges. I advanced games SpeedTrees even has more than one billboard for many directions (up to 16 in UE 5).
