I know this isn't Open Rails specific, but I thought the "Blender Heads" might find it interesting.

Demonstrates the power of geometry nodes.
Hopefully the following is on topic for 'Blender Stuff' as it would be an ideal location to post Blender related tips / tutorials.
If you don't want your thread hijacked, let me know or ask Eric or an admin if this post can be split off into an new post if you prefer.
I found the following tutorial on how to model domes for steam locomotives but has applications in other areas of modelling as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYqcz6evH7w (Blender) How To 3D Model Locomotive Funnels And Domes Better (intended for Immersive railroading)
I found the narration grating but persevered and used the technique on one of my steam loco projects with success.
Because I am running a later version of Blender than the one used in the tutorial I had to also select the 'Negative' check box in the Shrinkwrap modifier for the Shrinkwrap to work correctly.
Cheers,
Marek.

I don't feel it's too far off topic. I know the topic of Blender bothers a few people, but we do occasionally want to discuss add-ons and tutorials amonst those who use the tool.http://www.railsimstuff.com

I released an add-on for Blender that lets you rearrange collection contents for selective exporting, baking, and such.
https://github.com/pwillard/ORTSCollection See the Releases section of the page for the add-on that is ready to 'install-from-file'.
Note: I had uploaded it to the file library... but this new version above fixes a feature that wasn't working quite right. The file library is actually more complicated to maintain since it's not well-suited for updates... so I'll rely on GitHub for this code. (sorry if that's uncomfortable)http://www.railsimstuff.com

If the topic bothers them, skip it and move on.

Another handy blender add-on I found is Blender DDS - a tool that converts your PNG/TGA files in the Blender UV Mapping Viewport to DDS Files for you. A handy helper to go along with the MSTS/OR Exporter workflow.
