Design in train sim 2

[baobaoHZ]

Hi actually we only know TS 2 will be out for 2009, but the period always change, my question is what kind of software for 3D design we will need, because for TS 1 its Train simulator modeler Gmax and the plug in for TS.

If someone know the software or the protocol, feel free to let me know, so I can study it, due to I am route conceptor in my free time

3DS Max and a good paint program (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, Gimp, etc.).

As I've been told, 90% of what's needed to produce content for TS2 is available in the FSX SDK. Given the limited advanced shader ability and licensing issues, however, it's not likely that Gmax will make an appearance (you might be able to find a work around for that though).

Or 3D Canvas - have a look at this thread on UKTrainsim http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?f=186&t=86365 .

Hi thanks for the feedback but i think 3DSmax is a very good tool right but the price too high, 3D canvas good too, but i think he's too complex like Gmax or maybe it's my imagination

How about Blender ?
