Open RT2 Graphics

[SD45]

I know this is way too early in the project! But, it's still critical.

 

But what about graphics? It might be a interesting project, since almost all the sprites in RT2 are of HO model railroad locomotives, cars, and buildings. Only the airport, B&O Bo-Bo, Geo-Core Powerplant, and Maglev TBX-1 are renders. 

 

I own some HO scale stuff, so I could get started on that. However, it's all 1970's onward, with some 1950's stuff. All of it is American.

 

The trouble is, how am I going to photograph all of it? The game has a isometric perspective, so the camera needs to set up a certain way.

Don't worry about that until we get enough ducks in a row to setup a separate project site.

[SD45]

We may want to do that first.

Are you saying that there are physical models of the lumber mill, the die factory, and farms, which I can rotate 360° and touch? That would be cool. I've only seen a model railroad once in my life.

Yes! They are from the Walthers Catalog. I just checked, and they do look a lot like the buildings in RT2.
