Been working on cleaning up supports & adding tunnels. 2/3rds done with tunnels. Last tunnel is coolest... has very vertical exit and entrance, and has a trench on top of it for another hill. After that, add station, catwalks, etc. Praying to be done with 3ds soon. Haven't been working on it much th...

lol in my first post I said a week. That ain't happening. Looks like I forgot how long it takes. Lift hill completely done. Should knock out everything up to the first hill sometime tonight. Should be done with the second overbank by thursday night. Hopefully done with all supporting by this time ne...

Originally posted by boneplaya ^^^Animation is much needed, but if you want a soundtrack, just dub some music and sound effects over it for the video.

they are at the drop, only way I could make it look realistically supported. if i drop one of those towers than it just looks silly and too spread out.

pretty much god-tier at MF supports. If anyone has questions on how to make em just ask haha <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2r59cn7&s=3">http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2r59cn7&s=3</a><!-- m --> supports should be done in a week + theming so probably two ...

theming

thanks guys. rc... my problem was always getting a complete circuit. i'm fine. definitely got a lot of work to do in newton before anything is god-tier, but a simple non-inverting ride is fine for me right now.

thanks to popcorn, dcs and newton i'm back in the game after 2~ year break of actually making anything. my biggest problem of never finishing a ride was due to the fact that I could never finish the track. I'd get to a point and just say F it and quit and start on another track I wouldn't finish. Bu...

Hurray for polluting the world with green house gases to f**k up the entire climate.

Originally posted by cool5 That would be so cool to have all that hair. once you hit puberty, you'll realize that actually it isn't that fun to have hair everywhere. it gets in the way, dirty, and if it isn't pencil thin girls don't really like it. they only really like the douchebag beard kinda th...

last winter during hockey i lacerated my hand and almost lost my middle finger. couldn't use the hand for about a month. Fortunately its not as long as this is.

because you're 12 years old and need to get off the internet. seriously, how stupid are you? FinallyFast, my computer is Fast, finally, FinallyFast.com!

use 3ds instead of wood supports, or, if you do use wood supports, make it look good and actually have a seamless floor.

^one god's opinion.

wasn't favorable for either really? I mean yellows for are stuff that is the same as your non-calls or just fouls. And I bet if one of your players went down and our guy was pulling him up by his neck we'd get a red, or maybe a red for the slap thing he did across our dude's neck. yes im pissed we l...

that's logical, because, you know, intamin, B&M, CCI, never ever had problems like this on one of their rides, either. These guys seem kind of lucky, very fortunate they aren't that high/their aren't stairs to let them down. I was stuck on Mamba about 10 years ago 15 feet short of the top of the hil...

the reason im anal about is that this is millennium force. pretty much mecca to islams. on par with such historic coasters as magnum, comet, colossus, sros, goliath (euro), batman. this isn't like a recreation of scream or wild thing. when you're re-doing one of the best, I expect the best.

Originally posted by dcs221 I sincerely doubt all overbanks are 122* (and I'm fairly certain, without checking right now, that the the second has much lower banking). That value seems to me to just be the highest banking on the ride. I don't remember seeing the height of the second camelback ragan....

Besides that, its best to have all known heights and lengths to perfect accuracy. Stuff we know height off and length of, you should have accurate to the foot. for instance in your example we know length of ride is 6595 feet. First drop is 300 feet, and we know the heights of first overbank and the ...
