WE HAVE MOVED!

News:

5/31/20 - Old Site is defunct!

If you are reading this message, then that means we have officially moved to our new site over at Wix. This move was made because we decided as a team together, to remake the site from scratch with the 'new era'.

 

Because of that, the old website; the one you're on now, is now defunct! However, the site will not be taken down. It will remain up as part of ZA3D's history as the first content website. As of this point, the old site is now a nostalgic area! Thank you Jimdo for the site's functionality, and future content will now be hosted at Wix.

 

Farewell old site!

- Zachman Awesomeness II


5/20/20 - New Site Progress Update!

Hello everyone!

It had been almost three weeks since I started working on the new website for ZA3D over at Wix. I am pleased to tell you that progress has been going very well!

 

I am actually almost done transferring all the content on the old site (The one you are currently in). All I need to do next is to finish uploading the rest of the models from this site to the new one. After that I may do a few tweaks and make a couple new additions to the new site.

 

As for the old site, it will soon be discontinued. To clarify what I had said in the previous announcement, all the content on this domain will not be removed once ZA3D's Jimdo-Free website becomes defunct. There just won't be any more uploads on this old domain. Furthermore, there will be a change to only this page to signify when the site discontinues.

 

You may still visit the old domain you are currently in, but there will not be any more new content uploaded on this website. New content will be uploaded on the new ZA3D website over at Wix.

 

In about a week, the old domain will be discontinued, and it will become a relic of ZA3D's history as its very first website!

 

Have a great day everybody!

- Zachman Awesomeness II


5/1/20 - Old Site discontinues soon!

Hello everyone!

Recently, I made a poll about the big decision to move my content to Wix. The option to move had won by a landslide. Because of this, a new era for ZA3D is going to begin. The new site is being worked on right now. You can have a look at the new site right here at:

https://zachmanawesomeness.wixsite.com/za3d

 

Once the new site is done by the end of the month, it will officially be declared open for business! As for the old site; the site you're on now, will be discontinued. Although the old site will stay up, it will become a relic of ZA3D's history as the first official ZA3D site.

 

More on this moving process will be developed on the different days you visit the new ZA3D Wix site during its construction. For example, one day, you'll find the ZA3D IoS Project in the 'ROUTES' page, and on another day, a couple dioramas.

 

I'll come back with an update after a couple weeks. Have a nice day!

3/9/20 - Hot off the press!

It had been nearly an entire year with no new releases. That is not good at all. Welp, this update is sure to redeem that! First things first, we have a brand new website avatar, created by a fellow Discord member named Terastodon91 (Sisley)! Be sure to thank him for this wonderful treat!

 

Oh, and I didn't stop there...

The long-awaited "Rumble Bridge" extension for my Island of Sodor project has FINALLY BEEN RELEASED! This little extension connects the Skarloey Railway from Elephant Park to Strawberry Grove, including Rumble Bridge itself, featuring a couple recognizable areas like the Depot and more! There are also some surprising changes made to older locations, and a new surprise location just south of Maron Station hints the next extension! Enjoy this special treat and have a wonderful day!

1/4/20 - Happy New Year!

This site has not released much in 2019, but this year I am sure to change that! The Zachman Awesomeness 3D Discord is now open! Come check it out! https://discord.gg/z9ffCsF

 

The Island of Sodor Route will be released sometime either at the end of January or mid-February. Stay strong, friends!

 

- Zachman Awesomeness II


11/7/19 - Not Defunct!

Wow. It's been WAY TOO LONG since I touched this site. Usually, this site would be active a lot every year. This year was uneventful I suppose. Don't worry, by the time Christmas comes, ZA3D will be in full swing once more!

 

- Zachman Awesomeness II


4/22/19 - Bug Fixes and Improvements!

Nothing major on the site as of now, but I did fix some grammatical issues and refurbished some of the pages on the site. Now there's hopefully no need to scratch heads in confusion.

 

- Zachman Awesomeness II


4/21/19 - Easter Release - PGB II (NWR)!

After many months of hiatus, I am pleased to announce that the second part of my Peel Godred Branch Line extension has been released! However, it's only the standard gauge portion of the bundle, so expect the narrow gauge portion very soon! Enjoy!

 

- Zachman Awesomeness II


4/19/19 - Way Past Due Website Update!

I have made some changes that I felt were overdue on the website, since I had not touched this for a while. The "Stuff in the Works" page has been revamped, and the "About" page is now more easier to read with it's own "Questions and Answers" section. More content is on it's way on Easter Sunday. If nothing happens, I'll still post the news bulletin on that day with some reasoning! Until then, have a nice day!

12/25/18 - Knapford Overhaul Released!

Merry Christmas! After two months of hard work, Knapford has finally been given a long awaited overhaul. Extra shedding, shunters and station pilots are now available!

 

- Zachman Awesomeness II


12/17/18 - The Problems Have Been Fixed, But There Is Still Bad News!

I got to fix the broken SI3D assets thanks to BNSF1995. He suggested that I should delete the affected broken assets and reinstall them. So I did. And they no longer showed up as faulty, and they also don't show a red puzzle piece anymore.

 

That was the good news. The bad news is, due to yesterday's events, I have decided to cancel the 12 Days of Zachmas celebration and end early. DO NOT WORRY, as the Knapford Overhaul is still expected to be released in a week! The cancelled plans will be postponed until January.

 

Regards,

ZACHMAN AWESOMENESS II


12/16/18 - Discontinuation of the IoS?

Evening all.

Today was a sad day. As I had installing some new content onto my manager, many dependencies broke and I am really desperate to look for assistance. Some of these broken deps are some SI3D buildings, such as the Tidmouth Roundhouse, the Branch Shed Doors, the level crossings, and the UK Bullhead 09 track used for my IoS route. Until help arrives to fix these broken dependencies, all future IoS releases will be halted. I am sorry, but I need help on how to fix broken dependencies. Please help me.

 

Regards,

ZACHMAN AWESOMENESS II

7/18/18 (Again) - I done goofed yet again.

I forgot to fix the link, the download button under the released extension had the previous extension's adress on there. There's been quite some chaos lately, crud. Anyway I fixed it to avoid outrage. Now  you can download the latest extension.

 

- Zachman Awesomeness II


7/18/18 - I did it again...!

I forgot to change one of the sections of text on the official release for The Ulfstead Branchline (II). It was supposed to say "Full Ulfstead Branch" and not "Ulfstead Branch to Boxford". I fixed the error. Sorry about that!


7/17/18 - The Ulfstead Branchline (II) Released!

After a month of hard work, I'm pleased to announce that the remainder of the Ulfstead Branchline has been completed and released! Get a copy today!

4/10/18 - Balladrine & Kellaby Extension Released!

I originally planned to release the extension this Saturday, but I decided to release this today because it would be unfair to force people to wait until release of a certain product, no offense to those who are used to waiting. Anyways, the extension has been released, and now you will be able to explore beyond Killdane Junction! Head on over to TRAINZ CONTENT / ROUTES / LARGE ROUTES to claim your copy!
