This page shows a Locomotive I have been modelling using Maya.
The train is mostly made up of polygons, except the nose and chimneys, which are revolved surfaces, and the steam pumps which are made up of nurbs surfaces sown together.
The steam is created using particles with a ramp shader to create the evaporating steam and the top steam is pulled back using a gravity field.
Below you can download the completed animation of the Locomotive as it moves down a track.
As this is a large file, it may take a few moments to load.
