Hello, everyone. Sorry for the unexpected news but, we, the TLAF server admin team, have decided that we will officially be closing the server tonight, at around 10pm EST. For more information on the matter, please continue on reading. (1/4)

*brought ME to make today's thread, another one! Soz!

*such strong exposure, sorry! Caught a typo right after sending lol, my bad!

It's okay to not like things! But it's also important to respect others who do like those things, you're not better than anyone, and no one's better than you. And let's be honest, no one wants to come off as a guy like this, right? Yeah I bet not lol, be kind y'all; AdminD, out!

Closing thoughts: I think it's important to remember that some times we make a lot of things just because we like them, we like making pictures, we like modelling, we're all just artists making what we enjoy at the end of the day, and I think we should embrace that. (8/9)

Now, what's there to take away from this thread? I personally believe we owe a bit of credit to Kerry for this art style! SI3D was absolutely responsible for giving it such strong expose, but something about the way Kerry executed it always felt right to me. (7/9)

And just to sprinkle in some more information, it seems Super D only started replicating the look of Kerry's work some time before or shortly after the creation of SI3D, only resembling his model work more as the 2006 era came to an end. (6/9)

Some could even go far as to say that they're a bit too inspired, with some models completely using textures taken from Kerry McCoy's work (would like to state that I am unsure if this was done with permission or not). (5/9)

By now you've definitely come to notice how much these models resembles the ones hosted on SI3D, and that's because they were without a doubt used as a main source of inspiration, from colors to shapes, these engines are quite similar! (4/9)

His models were all originally hosted on the website 'KLW TrainSim', created by the user Kurt K., also known as Cudak888! Both worked together in some of these models, most noticeably on Thomas, who out of all the released engines was the only one with a fully 3D face. (3/9)

The oh-so well known style associated with Trainz 2006 content from SI3D (and with the term "06 content" in general) was actually formed by the Microsoft Train Simulator player 'Kerry McCoy', who's work can be dated all the way back to April 2008! (2/9)

Hello! For a while now I've seen an endless discussion occur between Trainz users on the topic of modelling eras and art styles, which has brought to make today's thread! (1/9)

Update: We've found a big one

Hi all! I've decided to open a public missing dependencies archive for TTTE Trainz dependencies. If you would like to help contribute, I encourage you to join the server & help the archive grow. https://t.co/bJ4XBiycFO

Hey everyone! I know I'm not very active here, but I recently took notice of this project by TrainzModeler, and I fully encourage anyone interested in helping out with expanding the archive to join in and reach out! Keep up the good work, champ!
