Repainting Problems w/ 50ft High Cube boxcar (Great Northerner)

Unread postby ET44C4 » Sun Nov 27, 2016 5:50 pm

I'm making a repaint for the freeware 50ft High Cube boxcar by Great Northerner. As you can see in the screenshot there are a few places not yet painted. I can't seem to find any textures where they are. Is there anyway to remove them off of the car and/or does anyone know where they are located? (Anything red I painted green and I checked every texture)

You can't remove any parts. What I'll try when I can't find a part texture is to add a layer in my paint program file. Call it "Test" or whatever. Then I'll paint over various questionable areas on that test layer with bright, non-railroad colors (yellow, pink and so on). Then save the texture as TxPcDx and take a look at where the odd ball colors go. That may help you locate those tough to find relationships. Basically you're creating your own texture map. When you've found everything (or have given up) delete the test layer or just turn it off for your finished product.

Hi,

Is this the model from my ancient Railworks "Modern Freight Pack 1"?

If it is, there should be a "no ribs" version of this model included, which has flush sides specifically made for repainting.

Cheers
Michael

Yes this is your model. Thanks for letting me know and responding. I did look at the no rib version and that worked well. I completed a CNW repaint pack for it.
