Let's move on to the current project that I started working on at the end of 2019, it was the VL10 electric locomotive, it was decided to redo this model instead of the old one that was released for TRS12. And soon, we heard from N3V that PBR support will still be implemented. Although data from the texture was quite possible to bake the normal game diffuse texture + normal map, what I was doing, then I also called on people to start the study of this, but no one did not take it seriously. Then in the Trainz community, this was not accepted. I started learning PBR in 2015, with the first versions of Substance Painter.

This is only part of my work, and now it's time to move on to the present. In the screenshots of the contactor and switches from electric locomotives. I also did all kinds of different things for commercial renders. Here are some renderings of my old models made between 2007-2009 and the last 2011. There was a different rolling stock that I did. Here, several people and I are developing rolling stock aimed at realistic control. Soon, I founded my project in the railway community, which was called trainsimulator, then it began to be called tsmteam and now At first I worked on the envelope of ready-made models from MSTS (Microsoft train simulator), but of course I dreamed of doing something on my own from scratch, since I did not want to use other people's work, this could not make the whole essence of creating content understand. Of course, I dreamed of creating a rolling stock. With this version, I began to study CCG, but in reality I started creating content around 2006, these were small houses, small infrastructure of railways, and so on. It was already a version of Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 in Russian called 'Железная дорога 2004'. A little later, the first official version in Russia from the Akella company came out. I discover Trainz in 2002, then UTC came out.

After a while, I moved to VisualPurple and still remotely make assets for their VR projects. It even led to me finding real work as a 3D artist working with Blender.Īt first, I worked remotely for BlueHole and created and optimized existing assets for PUBG. I fully discovered Blender for myself in 2016, and since then it has greatly accelerated my work in 3D. And I still have a hobby for train simulators. And now my main job is as a 3D artist of various props and vehicles. I worked there for only a short time, although quite productively, but at that time I did not want to associate myself with 3D. With my 3D knowledge, I managed to get a job in an advertising agency in 2009 as a 3D artist of railway vehicles. All this was exclusively in Russian it was very difficult to study these programs in this language. I began my study of 3D with 3ds Max in 2005, motivated by my passion for the railway. My name is Ilya and I'm a 3D artist from Russia.
