It has plenty of practical uses if producing game art, for example, an amusement park map ideally with coasters that are actually somewhat believable unlike in most games.

I really need to explore these sort of tools in 3D modeling software sometime.

That's really good! Plus, you can practice with the b-spline tool before Nolimits 2 releases on Friday! just only a problem, you can't get REAL time physics because it'll always be a bit different from the real world.

I'd love to learn how to do this.

Lol I basically had nl2 before everyone

Once they Figure out some 3ds track spline export options Ill be having lots of fun with this..

Edit-

Actually The NL team should bake some ambient occlusion into their models so that I wont have to.

Lightning Run!

^lol sensing my inspiration

P.S. Oscar is the bestest

Could you perhaps give me a hand with trying to achieve something like this please?

Maybe use it as custom NL2 track, but there's also Construction Kit for that if one doesn't mind not feeling as much like a badass.

Are this blender made track styles working? I mean if you can make a working coaster of that?

man I want to see more of these

Here are my creations on blender :

^Nice screenshots! The RMC track looks fantastic

I've been working with Blender myself, but I'm still figuring out how to make the track follow a path and the train (which I haven't made yet) simulate real physics. Keep in mind I only learned how to use Blender like 3 weeks ago and I'm still a noob at it

I personally liked Pinfari! Those lamps on one side are my favorite stuff!

Use a array modifier firt to stack your piece of rail then use a curve modifier to make it follow your curve

What are your products like now?

I heard Kyle is working on "BlendVD", basically an FVD in Blender, and the best part is that it has non-destructive editing!

Also, anyone know if it's possible to animate a coaster made in NL but exported in Blender? I know it's kinda pointless but want to learn animation without having to model the track first

^ Thanks for telling!

Very fast renders when i don't know what to do

^ These are sweet!

Those are really nice! You should try to make a full working coaster.

^ I agree!
