Freight Train Custom (EMD GP60 Freight Locomotive)

The Vortex Freight Train design is based on the series of freight train EMD GP60 from the General Motors group and famous for the iconic looking Santa Fe GP60Ms. It is not a 1 to 1 of all freight train mechanical devices and forms but it does give the best representation that for what was needed. I did go quite more than necessary on the texture maps and could have had saved some data in several areas. All of the modeling was done in Blender and all texture work was created in GIMP and Substance Painter. This was a very fun project to get back into hard surface modeling and use of Blender Boolean options.

This project was to reestablish my comfort with Hard surface modeling. I am pretty content with how this turned out.
