ObjectCreator for Winrail 3D version 2.0

Winrail version 5.0 or higer has capabilities to create a 3D view of your layout. Unfortunately, there is no tool to help you to create the objects in an easy way. You must enter lots of terrible low-level instructions to get a reasonble image. I decided that it is not feasible to create really realistic 3D objects. To make things easier, I created ObjectCreator. Using ObjectCreator you may develop objects at "Artist" impression quality level. Currently I implemented trees, buildings and platforms. Above you see an example demonstrating the capabilities of Objectcreator
