Voie ferrée blender 3d

Introduction

Welcome to SVM6! In this tutorial, we will explore the fascinating process of modeling a railway track using Blender 4.2. Our setup will include rails, sleepers, and a red light to enhance the realism of our scene. To represent the train wagons, we'll use simple cubes for presentation purposes.

Before we dive into the modeling process, I'd like to express my gratitude to Louis, who has been a great help, as well as a warm hello to Ha and Paul. I appreciate all the new subscribers, including Louis, and the continued support from longtime viewers. Your subscriptions enable me to create more tutorials like this!

Setting Up the Track

We will start with a simple curve to model our railway track. Ensure that you have the necessary add-ons checked in Blender. The process begins by entering edit mode, adding a vertex, and selecting the vertex to extrude and shape the track. Be cautious not to create excessive angles, as this may disrupt the train's movement.

After modeling the initial shape, we will apply a subdivision surface modifier to refine our track shape. By selecting everything and utilizing the loop tools, we can further perfect the track's structure. Once satisfied, we can transform our model into a Bézier curve for seamless edits.

Creating Sleepers

Next, we will add a cube to represent the sleepers. In edit mode, we’ll scale and shape it as necessary. After that, we can duplicate the cube to create multiple sleepers spaced evenly along the tracks.

By applying a new modifier, we can project our sleepers onto the vertexes of the railway track. Adjusting the factor will help us achieve the desired distribution. For added realism, we might want to reduce the overall size of our sleeper elements.

Modeling the Rails

To create the rails, we will duplicate our Bézier curve and modify its geometry by extruding it. Positioning the rails correctly ensures they align with the sleepers, and we have the flexibility to tweak their thickness.

After forming the rail shape, we can easily apply colors to differentiate it from the sleepers. By using Blender's material properties, we can assign suitable textures and colors, enhancing the realism of our model.

Lighting and Environment

Lighting plays a crucial role in scene presentation. We will add a sun lamp for proper brightness and position it thoughtfully to cast shadows that enhance our railway scene. Moreover, we'll fine-tune the environmental settings, perhaps by adjusting the sky to achieve the desired ambiance.

Animation Setup

To animate the train on the tracks, we will add a simple cube representing a wagon and ensure it conforms to the Bézier curve. By setting up animation paths and determining the start and end frames of the timeline, we can make our wagon move smoothly along the train track.
