Minebuster - Finished! Details..Page 3

FN -- I'm not sure if you are seeking other opinions, but since you are making a wood, I'd be happy to give it a whirl or two if you need another pair of eyes to take a glance or two at it.

yeah sure, you can take a look. where do i send it?

tconwell@knology.net

sent

Got it -- I'll have some feedback for you tomorrow.

The support work on the helix is now 99% done!

FN -- check my response on your gmail account (sorry for the delay) ... you may want to make a small modification on the layout.

Got the comments, thanks alot. I had been thinking about what you mentioned even before completing the trackwork, but IMO (and what this thingis about) it would differ a bit too much from the real thing.

Anyways..the wide supports on the lift are coming nicely and are about 60% done


I will be using Hansixx's Alpengluen environment to give it a sunset setting which can be seen in a few of the screenshots I uploaded to the nldc project page.

That is looking very nice FN, the tunnel is very cool.

Just a small update;
-Supports 100% finished...stupid things
-Finalizing cartexture as I'm typing this (yes, I have 4 hands and can do multiple things at once )
-Station work has begun. the station will be a simple design with an exit and entrance ramp
- after everything is done i will be doing some light terraforming and adding a bunch of trees to try and hide the horizon and to make the coaster look better in the environment

2 screenshots;

This looks excellent ... I'm looking forward to seeing it finalized!!

i don't see many good wooden coasters but this thing looks awsome

Tremendous eye roll inserted here ...

ha^

Looking good FN but is that all the themeing that will be added?

yes, why? There is no themeing on the real ride and I don't have the time or 3ds skills to make anything complicated. Plus I want to concentrate on the coaster more than the extras.

Just bury it in trees when you are done FN -- at least it will avoid the "barren" look and give it more of a:



type of feel, ya know? Let it traverse low through tree when you can, that way it breaks up the boring horizon.

yeah thats exactly what i plan on doing

I need some opinions on this small matter. I have seen people say that the railings in nl arn't correct so I am just curious as to what I should do. Below are two screenshots, first one is the stock autosupport railings and in the second one I have changed the handrails to small wood beams.

What do you think looks better? Or is there a better way to do it?

-thanks

i guess i can write what i have completed since the last update..
-station roof is now done. the roof will be the only 3ds object on the station, the railings will be made from wood supports within nolimits.

I like modified better.

Yeah the bottom picture looks a whole lot better.

Btw, thanks for letting me testing. I just have to say guys that this has great airtime, consistent speed, and he even threw some really nice lats in to the ride. By nice i mean awesome! I saw it without the tunnel and such, so i cant wait to see the final version.

[hyyyper]

the second really looks better

ok thanks, so i guess thats another thing to add to the list of things to do lol

Yeah it does look better. It will much better on a GCI especially i reckon so i will have to try that too [;)]

second end of disscusion

How about making small supports for the railings then the top would be flat. Just like on Real's Outlaw.
