It's great to see your Blender workflow in action. I noticed that you're still using Blender 2.79. However, have you ever considered upgrading to a later version of Blender? The newer versions, like 2.8+, bring significant improvements in user interface, workspaces, real-time rendering. I was taught on 2.79 too, but after getting used to the newer versions, I found them more efficient and interesting. It might be worth exploring the quality-of-life improvements and creative possibilities offered by the later versions of Blender. Keep up the great work!
Cheers for the comment. I have tried 2.8 before but just couldn’t get it to stick. I’ve been a long term 2.79 user now for over 8 years, and since I’m really only using it for creating Trainz content, I’m quite happy with 2.79 as it does everything I need. I’m sure 2.8 comes with better efficiencies once you’ve learnt it and new and better improved tools, but the trade off of having to invest the time into learning it is just not worthwhile for me at the moment.
@@stefmiz I'm glad you stuck to 2.79, I'm helping a friend with a trainz loco for T:ANE so I'm stuck with 2.79 and most tutorials are for newer versions
Is there a way to bake using a pre-existing texture. I have a model with my own premade textures on it, but I can't figure out how to bake it with my textures
Thanks for the question - 2.79 is used by pretty much all the Aussie content creators that use blender for Trainz… 2.8+ made the workflow harder than it what it was when you use 2.79, hence why most of us stick with it. Was also the version everyone in the Aussie creator circle has the most experience in so it’s easier for other creators to get help.
