News update October 28, 2020
The 3D model of the cabin of the 1300 engine series for the updated version of Dutch Classics 4 is 99 percent complete. An additional cabin has been added. As in the current version, two editions of the cabview are available:
- A 'legacy' edition, corresponding to the cabin as it was in the early sixties of the 20th century
- A modernised edition, as the cabin was configured during the seventies and eighties, just before the thorough modernization.
As there is much more information available about the 1300 engine series - although pictures of the old version of the cab unfortunately remain sparse - the cabin editions are a bit more accurate than the current version of the cabin. Also, the rendering technique has improved considerably, so the cabin looks better than the current one. Screenshots and perhaps a short video will be published later this week! I will keep you informed about the progress of the cabin.
At this time the cabin is a static 3D model, after completion of the conversion of the Cabin the animated elements of the cabin will be brought to life with animation and scripting. This activity is planned for the coming week.
