Alright, just finishing up fixing the alphas and trying to figure out how to get rid of all cab and number board numbers. Then they'll be done. They'll all be "clean". SOO kept most of them in pretty good shape over the years so I'll leave em clean. I've got some learning to do before I try any weathering as it is. Hope to have the pack of em up during the weekend.

Still trying to figure out numbering, worked briefly on a CSX unit till b737lvr got it figured out for himself, started this while frustrated over removing auto numbering on the SOO units:

You may want the numbers pack that I did for MadMike (GP15-1 Re-Paint in the File Library). I handcrafted the modern font that CNW used in the later years.

Update:

Just to challange you *!greengrin!*

Thanks! I was hunting all over the place for adequate fonts for numbering. That helps immensely.

Now all I need is a big ol gong bell on the nose

Hey PapaX,

Ya think maybe you could send over them numbers as images? I have them with CNW GP15 already but would also like them as psd or png files if that's alright with you. Just makes it easier to paint em on' for now since I do not know how to move autonumbering yet.

If I'm on tonight I'll send the PSD over, just be warned that its a bit "complex" with all the layers I added.

If you have RSBinTool, you can always convert the TgPcDx files to DDS and load them up in Photoshop that way.

CNW_numbers.zip


I think this was the PSD that I used. I also included the DDS and TGAs. In the PSD I had to modify the alpha every time I exported a TGA, so you will need to do the same. Please tell me if something is missing.
