Version 2.5 brings some new features again:
What is TransDEM about? TransDEM Trainz Edition is a helper tool for building prototypical routes in Trainz. It processes geo-data, in particular DEMs (Digital Elevation Model = height data) and cartographic map images and creates Trainz terrain from it. New Users: How much does it cost? TransDEM Trainz Edition is Payware. The fee for a personal non-commercial license is €23.90 including applicable VAT and PayPal fees. (This is about GBP 20.00, USD 30.00, CAD 35.00, AUD 37, NZD 39.00, PLN 105 or CZK 670, including VAT and PayPal fees. Currency conversion rates as of 31 December 2014.) New Users: How can it be ordered? You can order TransDEM or request more information with a simple email: info@rolandziegler.de. I will send you an info letter with further details of the purchasing and downloading process. When ordering please indicate your full name and address. Current Users: Update Policy There will be a free update for current TransDEM users who purchased their license within the last 12 months. These users should receive an email from me with further details within the next couple of days. All other users can obtain an upgrade license for a fee of €8.90, including applicable VAT and PayPal charges. Please email me at info@rolandziegler.de if you are interested, including enough information to find you in my database: your full name and current address plus original order ID. Resources Updated TransDEM configuration samples for WMS and map tiles can be downloaded here (without any warranty!). What kind of features does TransDEM offer? Geo-Data: Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
Geo-Data: Raster Maps, Orthophotos
Geo-Data: Vector Data
Trainz Map Creation
Support for GPS devices
Documentation TransDEM comes with extensive English documentation in pdf format, about 280 pages in two manuals. Tutorials make up a major part. They cover various aspects of TransDEM's capabilities including the mainstream functions of generating terrain for Trainz quickly. System Environment
Example: Muengsten Revisited The new 3D UTM tiles offer a fresh perspective to geo-data based Trainz route building with TransDEM. In combination with the new ortho-imagery ground textures they allow a couple of variations. All TransDEM users are familiar with the Muengsten tutorial. It is here where it all begins. We still have the same DEM but make a few alterations to ground and UTM tile textures. 3D UTM tiles with 1:5000 topo map in the foreground, aerial images used for ground texture (background): Same spot, UTM tile layer switched off, ortho-imagery ground textures alone. Probably not ideal for the foreground, but perhaps quite acceptable as quick backdrop texturing: 3D UTM tile objects, terrain switched to wire-frame mode (wire-frame replacement texture): Hi-res ortho-photos for 3D UTM tiles: Example: South Tyrol, Brenner Pass Eisack river valley, Franzensfeste railway station. 2.5 m DEM (re-sampled to 5m), 1:5000 topo map, 3D UTM tiles at 5m resolution. Wire-frame view. Example: Bonneville Dam, Columbia River, Oregon/Washington USGS 1/9 arc sec DEM (re-sampled to 5m), USGS 1 m ortho-imagery, 3D UTM tiles at 5m. Wire-frame view.

Post subject: | TransDEM 2.5.1 now available |
A TransDEM update is available on my homepage. The new version is 2.5.1. This update is free for all TransDEM 2.5 users. Registered users of previous TransDEM versions can upgrade for €8.90. Since the release of 2.5 a number of users have provided in-depth feedback or asked for specific additional functionality. Version 2.5.1 is mainly a maintenance update but it also includes some of the requested new features:

In conjunction with T:ANE, an update for the TransDEM ground textures is now available on my homepage. This update brings new versions of the standard and the ortho-image texture sets for Trainz, KUID version 5 for the standard set and KUID version 2 for the ortho-image set. The update is compatible with TransDEM 2.5.0 and 2.5.1, but there are two different variants for 32bit and 64bit installations. The update will not remove any previous version of the textures. This update is free for all TransDEM 2.5 users. T:ANE introduces new rules for ground textures and now requires separate images for the thumbnail image and the texture proper, see here: http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/inde ... t_for_TANE The new texture sets comply with these T:ANE rules. They should also work in TS12 but I have not tested earlier versions of Trainz. |
