Further texturing work (shadows and highlights)

It is currently a WIP, as the cab comes in two levels: interior and exterior views. Nevertheless I will show my current progress of this:

I am now working on the roof of the Gisela. I plan to add bump maps when the main texturing is complete for realism. The lights have the illumination levels set appropriately also for realism. I hope that they will work at night.

My progress on the photo realistic undercarriage, thanks to photos supplied by Akati the Fox and CloudNine:

As I continue to add details to the windows, I am looking for photo-realistic textures of the undercarriage equipment of the Gisela train (e.g: the bogeys). It would be grateful if anyone can help me. Thank you.

Gisela im bau, nacht mit leuchtenden Texturen im Innenraum:
Gisela in progress, night with illuminated textures for the interior.

Gisela GI/1E is now at version 1.1: Click here to access the download page. Please do a favour by returning some feedback for the next beta: danke!

(Auran '09 Track not included. Interior as standard.)

Project progress:

Done:

• Animated Pantograph acts as an access door between the cab and the interior. The driver's entry door could be split to become a door operable by a command key. For now it's a pantograph since the Gisela doesn't have a pantograph in reality.
• Animated doors with warning lights. Door animation sounds with all lights are working in MCQ stations, sounds work for all types of stations.
• 57 passengers can board each Gisela car.
• Running numbers are now supported using the official Transit typeface (range: 0000-0 to 9999-9), and thanks to Superscript, the fleet numbers are randomised, unless specified using "Properties" in Surveyor modus.
• Destination boards are added, which covers U1-4, now using an independent engine. They light up at night.
• Along with the default MCQ headlighting system (the attachments were facing the Z-negative direction), ordinary Headlights are supported for night-running in the open, and can be dimmed to 50% with SHIFT+L.
• The external view cab is okay, but if processing power increase this may well be superseded by the full cab in future!
• Engine sound is now available, the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle is still 3000.
• New bogeys: the wheels turn and the couplers come as standard.
• The basic night light controls are in place.
• The trailers! (those in the form ####-2 or ####-3), but the way I designed it allowed it to be "mixed and matched" to achieve it. And then there was the fact that the trailers didn't have the spaces for a wheelchair.

Im Bau:

• Destination boards will eventually cover the Tarka Line in Devon, England.
• Extend passenger door lighting to non-MCQ stations (Superscript allows for door lights).
• An internal view cabin under way.
