Hello Everyone! Welcome to Immersive railroading. If you would Like to model for this mod take consideration of the following requirements/specs needed in a model for Immersive Railroading.
In this mod, rolling stock and locomotives will be constructed the same way they are constructed in real life. With that being said I will go through a List of what you will need IOT(In Order To) have a decent model for Immersive Railroading.

FIRST OFF!

WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR THIS

MAIN MODELING SPECIFICATIONS

CYLINDERS - We like wheels, that means do not give us a Rails Of War styled wheel. Do it like they would in real life. When constructing the wheel you are allowed up to 64 Vertices Maximum. It Is Recommended that you stay with 32 at Max. Also Cylinders do not need to be just for wheels they can also be for other uses on the model.

BLOCKS- I Don't think I have any specifications for blocks, as long as it isn't Smooth and doesn't look ridiculous. By ridiculous I mean something like this.

and that brings us to our next point.

SMOOTHING- In a basic understanding, DO NOT SMOOTH!

HOW TO MODEL FOR IMMERSIVE RAILROADING

  1. First off, you want to decide what modeling program you would like to use. In this case I will be using Blender but you may use whatever is capable of exporting the model to OBJ. I will Not explain to you on how to use your modeling program, You can figure that out from going to YouTube.

  2. Scaling is very important. Try and important a Track file from our Github pack to get an accurate scale. Also import a boxcar in order to get an Idea on heights. When starting your model, it is vital that you do it with a blueprint. Blueprints are the most important part of your model. They typically give you nice detailed explanations of what your going to construct.

  3. We are looking for every vital component of a model. Those components consist of the frame and body all detailed accordingly. Put as much detail as you would like.

  4. When you are done with the basic model please construct the Trucks/Bogeys for the model and slap them underneath with detail!

This is all i have right now, I will add more to this thread soon. -TheLegend5550
