CR400AF Blue Dolphin livery
This mod provided CR400AF(The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EMU in game) prototypes livery (CR400AF-0207 & CR400AF-0208)
Chinese railfans like to nicknames EMU using the name of similar shape animals combine with the theme color of train livery.
So they call this livery as "Blue dolphin".
(The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EMU in game, as know as the mass production(MP) model of CR400AF is called "Red Dragon")
(Actually that is very abstract… Just use your imagination Lol)

Afterword:
The vibrant and dynamic design of "Blue dolphin" has long been deeply imprinter in the minds of Chinese railfans.
"Red dragon" is also a nice livery, and the symbolic meaning of "♥♥♥♥♥♥"/"CR" is far greater than "Hexie(Harmony)"/"CRH" for China’s railway.
After the "Innovation" becomes a main theme of China’s EMU research and development, the theme color(white body & blue lines) of "CRH" were also phased out from the design.
Under this background, the "Blue dolphin" livery just became a flash light in the history of China’s railway, and turns into "Red dragon".
In reality, Chinese railfans expressed regret for losing a beautiful livery.
In the virtual world, I hope to use my limited knowledge to keep the perfectly "Blue Dolphin" running on track.
// Very painful to make art work on PhotoShop without UV maps;
// Using 8K(8192*8192px)dds, thats why a livery mod looks so big;
// The performance loss of using large size texture may less than the effects of a huge city in the map;
// This livery mod are always FREE, and only provided on Steam Workshop;
// Tried to fix some parts of the official model that were not detailed enough with textures…;
// This mod only modified the textures & vehicle attribute, does not exist illegal unpacking or resale of official 3D models;
// I don’t like to type description; 🙁
// This description still WIP…Corrections comment are welcome; 🙂
