Making thumbnails.
How do you create a full set of thumbnails for a trainz asset where it shows the stock on a single track with a black background and the consist editor thumbnail where it is the vehicle viewed from the side with a transparent background. Is there some feature within Trainz that I don't know about that generates them?

Re: Making thumbnails.
There is a built-in thumbnail creator. When managing content, in the Content drop-down there is "Generate Thumbnails" there is then a popup in which you need to select the consist one for that to happen. The generator will make a thumbnail of the object floating in a white background.
For the black with track thing, just make a new route, paint the ground black, lay some track and take screenshots. You'll then have to use an image editor to crop/resize the image down to the correct required size.
For the reflective look (not sure you're looking for it) lay some water down on the route and set the height to just above the ground, then change the water settings to a color that works for you & set it to the no waves or ripples option (I don't remember what it's called)
