Misc. Crossing Signs

[johnharold69]

Ive almost finished up some crossing signs. I should have them uploaded in a day or two. Heres a preview for anyone intrested. Im gonna try to make a "stop on red signal" sign that can be placed on a set of signals like a "2 tracks" sign. Other than that all I like is the ref file. The signs are a very low polygon count (28). Well, gotta go, see yall later.

There are a few that you can download.Go to the file library and do a search on flashing crossing signals, or just crossing signals. Bruce Bridges made a good bit of them and are pretty good. The ones in the pic is a set of Bruice's signals that I retextured. There is also a set of canadian style signals too.The readme files will show you how to use them or just drop me a line. See ya

Nice work John. I especially like the "STOP ON RED SIGNAL" sign. I was using one I found in the GMO Springfield Switch route but Ill go with yours. :)

Any chance of some crossing signals that have them bigger red led lights?

I really would like to make my own signals, but there are 2 things keeping me from it. First thing is that the only 3d program I have found that i can halfway use is sketchup and it has no animation feature. Second is if i did find someone to animate them, I would need a sketchup to 3ds converter and I havent found one yet. Im kinda bummed out about it, but maybe i can get some time to learn gmax. The only problem there is were workin 7 days a week and its kinda hard to find time right now. I have a few good ideas on stuff to make, but havent really had time to make them. That is a really good idea cause id like to have some myself. If i do get around to making some Ill let you know.

Well I for one think you're doing a great job John. :D If you're this good with this 'sketchup' currently, you'll be taking on LHW and his grand creations if you ever get into this Gmax stuff. ;)

Keep up the great work, and QUIT your day job to do so. LOL

Wow, I didnt think I was that good lol.I have thought about making some signals, but you would have to add the extra light units to them. A bit tedious but it might work. If i had a program to join shape files it would be a lot easier.
Anyways, thanks for the comments, Ill get around to making more stuff as soon as I can.
