New page

==Bogeys==

Download Source files from the Trainz Website

====POLYGON LIMITS:====
Steam Loco bogey polygon recommendations < 5000 polygons per driving wheels (including all rods and animated parts)

Diesel Loco bogey polygon recommendations < 2000 polygons per truck.

Bogey shadow polygon recommendations < 100 polygons per truck.

Carriage bogey polygon recommendations < 300 polygons per truck.

Carriage bogey shadow polygon recommendations < 100 polygons per truck.

As a general rule of thumb, less is always better!

The absolute centre of bogeys should be located at World origin point (0,0,0). This is where they are inserted into the a.bog0 etc attachment points in the loco body mesh.

====BOGEY TEXTURES====
The materials are of Multi/Sub-Object type (one M/SO only per model) and we have used UVW Map and Unwrap UVW for texture allocation.

Diffuse Maps: Generally a single 128x128 16-bit TGA file is sufficient to texture a bogey. Additional maps (e.g. for springs) are also used.

Opacity Maps (8 bit greyscale .bmp) are supported to the same pixel dimensions as the diffuse map. Used regularly for carriage bogey sides. Reflection maps are supported but generally not used on bogey models.

Bump mapping and specular values are possible to give greater detail and variation.
(3DSMax users only). See TRAINCAR Bump mapping notes Page 350.

b.r. helper points must be made in top view in 3dsmax/gmax.

====EXPORTING MODELS:====

As per `Modeling Trains' section. Remember naming conventions and to type in the file extension under file name (e.g.TRAIN_NAME_bogey.im).

Refer to Page 33 for information on reversing bogeys and animation, with reference to attachment points.

====IMPORTANT NOTE: Steam Driving Bogeys====
The Steam loco driving bogey is connected to the piston and physics system by adding the following tag to the bogey's config.txt:
:direct-drive 1

<font color="red">This tag MUST be included for piston and steam sounds to work.</font>

Two Axle Bogey

A traincar requires two bogeys minimum, to track correctly on track. To make a traincar with two axles (fixed to the body) use two invisible bogeys, placed in the usual locations, a.bog0 and a.bog1.

Make the visible fixed axles as a bogey mesh placed at a.bog2, centered on the traincar body.
