Latest work in progress is a GP7. Started this model before my previous project, a RDC (seen here and before that my Tiger 1 project (seen here).
I’ve made good progress on this GP7 since finishing up the RDC. In regards to the GP7 I’ve mostly have detailed the sides, top and trucks and what’s left to do is the underneath detail between the trucks, the fore and aft ends of the engine (including the steps) and then I’ll Color ID the engine, UV mapping/Seams all the parts and texturing the engine in Substance Painter.
I’m building up a few railroad models to create a scene.

Progressed through UV Mapping & adding Seams to each part and now finished with Color ID’ing each part so the model can be exported into Substance Painter where it will be textured.
I’m having more issues with Z Buffering conflict since upgrading my system to a 3070 graphic card. I also upgraded to a 750 watt power supply and 5900x AMD CPU. I’m tempted to move back to my previous 3060 card which hardly had any Z Buffering conflicts. Anybody have any ideas what I can do to solve this conflict with the 3070. This particular angle I picked for the picture minimizes the moire appearance btw. Any help be appreciated.

Latest for the GP7 is the texturing is partially complete having done this much in Substance Painter. The rest will be done in Blender via decals.

Procedural with some finessing via dirt layers, etc. And thanks! - Rich
interesting can you show the nodes set up for this texture
i did 2 different train engines
but did not find very high res model for these
thanks
happy bl
@RickyBlender, sorry if I didn’t say it right, I used Substance Painter for making my textures but I don’t use Substance Designer yet for making my own procedurals. I hope that makes sense…
Latest pics of GP7 mostly finished…
Next thing I want to do is create a small scene like I did for the RDC I made (see first post for link).

Been working on two projects to create a scene for the GP7. Another project, hopper cars, will also be added.
above: Ready to start adding UV Maps, Seams and Color ID (for Substance Painter)
above: Revamped of an Alco S2 I had done a couple of years ago. Mostly finished before UV Mapping, Seams and Color ID’ing)
