Latest revision as of 08:02, 17 March 2024
The information in this Wiki Page applies to TANE, TRS19, Trainz Plus and TRS22. A video tutorial specific to setting the environmental controls can be found at TRS19 Environment and Lighting Tutorial |
|
|
[edit] Loading and Saving Environmental Settings |
A newly created Route will have its environmental settings set to their default values | |
A newly created Session will have its environmental settings set to those of the Route | |
Where the Route and Session have different saved environmental settings, those in the Session will be used |
In Routes | ||||||||
|
||||||||
In Sessions | ||||||||
|
|
[edit] The Environment Tool |
Open the Environment Tools Editor from the Surveyor Main Menu in TANE as shown below left or from the Surveyor Edit Menu in TRS19 and later versions as shown below right. |
In all versions select the option Edit Environment... |
This will open the Environment Properties Window as shown below.
|
[edit] Lighting |
The Lighting Tools control the ambient, sun and water colours. This tool tab is opened by default whenever the Environment Editor is opened |
[edit] Light and Time
The dial shown is a 24 hour clock that sets the lighting conditions at selected times of the day and night |
|
[edit] Setting the Lighting Conditions |
[edit] Colour Control Points
The ring around the dial contains a number of green dots.
Each dot is a Control Point that sets the specific Red, Green and Blue colour values, and other lighting features, at the time shown on the clock | |
Each of the RGB colour value can be altered by dragging its needle point to a new position around the dial |
The control point will be highlighted and the RGB Wheels will display the Red Green and Blue values that have been set at that point
|
|
[edit] Types of Lighting
|
The 3 boxes below the colour wheels and next to the Sky box show the colour effects created for each type of lighting at the selected time.
[edit] Ambient Colour
[edit] Sun Colour
|
[edit] Water Colour
|
|
[edit] Water Effect Layer
In TRS19 SP4 and later a new method of adding water to a route was introduced - as an Effect Layer. The original method, now called Legacy Water, can still be used in a route but it is NOT recommended that both water methods (Legacy and Effect Layer) are used in the same route. |
TRS19 SP4
The water colour for the Water Effect Layer is set by altering the colour for the Top Skybox.
|
See The Skybox below for more details.
Trainz Plus and TRS22
|
[edit] Mixing Colours
|
|
|
|
[edit] Shadows
The tone of shadows cast by objects is controlled by the combined effects of the Ambient Color and the Sun Color settings |
These settings are examples only
|
|||||||||||||
|
|
Moving the Ambient and Sun colour controls to values between 0 and Maximum will alter the results. Experimentation is a good idea.
[edit] Lighting Level Control
TRS19 and later Trainz versions have an additional control that is placed next to the Ambient, Sun and Water colour boxes. This sets the overall brightness or lighting level for each control point. |
|
|
[edit] Resetting the Lighting Conditions |
All the lighting colour settings can be reset back to the Trainz default colours. |
|
[edit] Adding a New Control Point |
New control points can be added to the clock dial |
|
|
|
[edit] Deleting a Control Point |
Existing control points can be deleted |
|
|
[edit] Moving a Control point |
Existing control points can be moved |
|
|
[edit] The Skybox |
The Skybox sets the sky colours in three different regions of the sky at the selected time of day, as shown in the extreme example below |
|
|
[edit] Fog Control |
This controls the level of "fog" in the scene |
|
|
[edit] Location |
The Location Tools control the geographic and date (season) data for the Route and Session. Left Click on the Location tab icon to open the Location Tool Controls |
[edit] Set the Date
|
|
|
|
[edit] Set World Origin |
The middle section is the World Origin Tool and sets the geographic location, including the altitude, of the route using a World Origin marker that is only visible in Surveyor.
Setting the World Origin does NOT set regional features such as which side of the road the cars drive on. Use the Route Editor - Region setting for that | |
The World Origin is always part of a Route, not part of a Session |
|
The World Origin marker |
Once it has been placed, the marker can be moved by a Left Click and Drag or a Left Click. After adding the marker it should be edited to add geographic data. |
Left Click on the Go to world origin icon to move the Surveyor screen so that it is centred on the World Origin marker. |
Left Click on the Edit world origin icon to set or edit the World Origin data. See Editing the World Origin below. |
[edit] Editing the World Origin |
|
Enter the geographic data for the world origin
|
[edit] Deleting the World Origin |
There is no delete button for the World Origin marker, but you can still delete it |
|
|
[edit] Traffic Control |
This tool simply turns the road traffic ON and OFF |
|
|
[edit] Weather and Water |
The Weather and Water Tools control the weather (sky, weather type, wind, snow) and water surface data for the Route and Session. Left Click on the Weather and Water tab icon to open the Weather and Water Tool Controls | |
To set the Water Colour, refer to the Setting the Lighting Conditions section above |
[edit] Set the Sky
The box below the sky title will give a preview of the selected sky. [edit] Set the Weather
|
|
[edit] Wind Strength
This setting only effects SpeedTrees |
|
|
Settings:
|
|
|
[edit] Set the Water Surface
This sets the water surface effects for Legacy Water only. It does not apply to Water Effect Layers |
|
[edit] Set the Snow Altitude
This sets the altitude at which objects built with snow effects will display snow in winter. It has no effect on objects created without this feature |
|
