[RESULTS] CCH Bio Dome Contest

I'm not actually going to build a dueler, I'm having enough trouble as it is making a single. I just ask that at every contest becuase I like excusses to build em.

And can we change the texture that is on the 3ds object?

I know that we can't attact the suports to the dome, but can we run a large support from ground the dome, which meets another support???

oh yea....can the station be curved slightly? (don't ask me y) lol

I'm not sure of what you mean, just don't add anything to the dome unless it is lightweight theming.

Nope, the trains would get stuck in the brakes since the brakeplates and the brakes themselfs are straight.

i have the first vertex in dome 3 and the station in dome 1.
is that allowed?

Dutch:
ik heb de eerste vertex in dome 3 en het station in dome 1.
Mag dat wel?

Err, yes and no. You can move the first vertex when the track is done so if you move it back to dome 1 that's ok. Right click on track and select "set first".

(what does the first vertext do????)

When you tell it to "connect" it will connect with the first vertex. So if it is the begining vertex to the station and you tell it to connect, it will connect to the station and make the track complete.

I think they just want the coaster to start in the station in dome 1. All ya got to do is right-click the vertex that begins the station, and select set first, or the keyboard command is shift-f or just F I can't recall.

why don';t you just sayt that the station has to be in dome 1???? that would clear up alot of the confustion.

I dont know.....confusion makes it more challanging maybe?

Yeah the challenge is supposed to be hard [:)], just get the station in dome 1, that will be fine like you already thought.

Heck im bored, haven't done an NL compo in ages . Room for one more??

Sure thing [pshades]

Yay, I got my track done, and its now time to do supports and theming.

BTW, when I tried to add a texture to the 3ds object it gave me an error about it not being UVW mapped and it wouldn't apply the texture. Any one think they could help me with this?

hmm im in, i geuss. probaly wont finish it, just aint got the time in this busy lifestyle of mine..........

I'll try!! Put me on the list!

I use 3d Max 5 currently.

All I wanted to do was take a picture I found online and basically paint it on the 3ds object but keep it kinda transparent.

If I were to try this would I have to send the track AND the 3ds file or could i just send the track and the template?

Is there still room for one more?

If there is, I'd like to give it a shot too

Same here, Id like to give it a go as well!

No, just send the trackfile. I have the 3ds files myself so i won't need them. (unless you make some additional 3ds yourself of course) So you use the template to build your track in and send the trackfile to gforceaddict@coastercrazy.com when you are done.

im in

im out, you know why. im back in, you've convinced me gfa

I think there shouldn't be given extra points for cartextures and 3ds because some people (like me) dont have paint shop or dont know how to make 3d things
