[FEEDBACK] GE AC6000 Diesel (pre-4400hp engine derate)

This locomotive is for a game I own. However, the game has been criticized for being too simple or ‘blocky’ (despite this platform being called Ro(blox) and the style of simplicity. I decided to bump up my detail levels a notch once more (not the first time I had to do this, since people are picky apparently) and added some stuff to my content that has never appeared in the game before. Some of those features are side panels and compartment doors, certain grabiron details, windshield wipers, and electric cables.


This model is already at 99 parts total. My game has a limit for how many parts can be in a train (consist) total, capped at 350 (formerly capped at 200 from 2017 to early 2020), so not too much detail is expected.

The real thing for comparison:

You may notice some details, like handrails and vent placement. may be different from the model I made. The handrails are simply because the ones I made were originally for a ‘Union Pacific Railroad’ variant which is more angled. The vent placement is because of the changes in the internal workings that took place several years ago, changing the stock 6000hp model to a 4400hp derated version.

This looks really well made in my opinion. I don’t feel that anything needs to be improved. Keep up the great work. :+1:

Looks great. Have you considered using the Metal material for a more rustic look?

Sounds Cool, keep up this wonderful job. :+1:

Metal material is in fact, being used. Here it is with PBR enabled:

Looks great! Is any of it modelled or is it all parts and unions?

These are all parts and unions, with the exception of one union (the cab frame) that was exported to 3DS Max 2021, removed of unnecessary and redundant faces and polys, and reimported to Roblox Studio. I am not at liberty to explain why this process was necessary, but it is an extra measure of sorts.

EDIT: I fixed a few issues here and then, but also added some stuff here and then. It looks a lot better now!
