Evil Morning Operator 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Request Could you make the smoke at the end bigger? Let if cover up a bit of air, just like this: That would look awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 214 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Blue has been using videos shot of the real train, so there is no need to look at the smoke effects produced by a different train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Blue has been using videos shot of the real train, so there is no need to look at the smoke effects produced by a different train. Keep in mind the locomotive used a different smoke stack than it has now in the movie, it had a classic balloon stack which can drastically alter smoke, since different smoke stacks manipulate the airflow. I like the effect you suggested mike but I don't like how when your going fast it's like two seperate smoke flows, when in reality the wind would combine them. So if it could follow the rest of the smoke i bet it would look better. And if your using those videos, the black smoke needs to be a bit lighter and not so thick. I love you for finding those videos I've been looking for vids of the No.3 for ages, I'm surprised I hadn't seen them. I love how the cars its pulling are the exact passenger coaches and combine car from the movie, the caboose might be the same but it looks like it's been repainted, but the cars are the same. Just checked, same caboose too. Does anyone know the steam whistle they used on the train for the movie? Mike maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 thats what I told Mike, lol. I need shots from the movie. And I did reduce the smoke thickness a little, but again, need to watch the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 The movie has trouble making up it's mind, its a little thick in some spots but mostly it's a dark gray... Unless it's green, yellow, or red, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 true, lol. Then it looks fake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 That's because they tried to green screen in smoke, which doesn't work at all, in fact it looks corny and makes it hard to take the train scene seriously.... And the Rocket and Space Ship passing by sounds don't help, because i don't think trains make jet engine noises as they pass by. lol But at least were not including them in the mod.... Don't get any ideas from that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 well, as long as it looks like the movie version (sans effects) Still need to find a good long sound of the train's horn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 just so hard finding a good train whistle thats long enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 Can't you loop one of the ones from the movie, in the scene where Clara blows the whistle while Doc is on the front of the train? The second whistle is a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 tried. The pitch is slightly different at the end then it is at the middle so it sounds like a fluttering whistle. I'm kinda looking for whistles that are at least 3 seconds long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 Aren't there free sound effect sites that may have the right whistle, or have you already looked and came up empty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 most have the sound of the train as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Morning Operator 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 He's right, I can't find a good one eighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timetrain 11 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 It's really hard to find the right whistle though trust me I've tried I have never succeeded in finding the whistle anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 yeah, I can only find similar whistles from various train simulator addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
