After many years of focusing solely on textures, the Kawasaki R-62 is McPhat Studios' first ever complete 3d project. Without losing focus on our core business,(which still is textures) and through great teamwork between our Texture Artists and 3D developers, we were able to develop a fully functional NYC subway simulator, which has the best of two worlds : HD textures, of course side kicked by specular and bump mapping, from our highly acclaimed texture department, combined with the great 3D modeling skills of Michael Espinal, our Lead 3d developer.

Our original intent with this project was to satisfy the growing demand of subway simulation for the Trainz 2006/2009 platform. In doing so, we took our first step out of the Flight Simulator industry, to focus partially on another great simulator. Modeling the R62 has been a challenge and we will soon show more work in progress pictures as a more detailed description.
