Ultrasonic (Uploaded! pg 9)

yea what or silver is definatly the best way to go, but i think white would look better

You never know, I might actually be able have both...

He's saying that if he can do 3d's he might have both colors.

I should be able to finish the track this weekend, depending on how much time I get. I'm planning on doing some 3ds for this ride, which I have absolutely no experience with, so that's what could take the most time. I'm guessing late November to early December.

darn, well you can always get some one to do 3ds for you

After taking a long break to have a go at the jazzland contest, this project's back again. I've got some brand new screenshots of it, now with trains and a cartexture. On the technical side, it's now slightly smoother, and has reduced lats where the AHG filtered the some of the turns into having too little banking. There's also much less of a jerk when it enters the final brake run.

Comments always appreciated, especially about the cartexture, if you've got any suggestions on how to improve it.

very nice, i like the texture how it is i think it looks cool, but where are supports?!

i like the cars, and the colors look alot better to me now and i cant wait to see what it looks like with supports

The final supports are quite a while of yet. First I've got to make some 3ds track connectors, then make the basic supports, and export them into 3ds to get the gradient colours.

o are you doing the faded supports aswell?

if so i think making them opposites would be cool...like white to blue

^ they're gonna be silver at the bottom, and fade to white half way up.

cool, i was just hoping they wernt the same as the track

So you have decided to use faded supports. Good luck with them.

I've made a start on the supports. I've got the track connectors made with the oc, and about half the prelift supported. It takes much longer placing the track connectors and everything, but IMO it's well worth it, they make the track look so much realistic.

When I tested this track for you awhile back, I remember it being super smooth. So I have one question for you, do you handbuild?

do you curently have any new screen shots?
i dont think ive seen any custom connectors, so it will be interesting to see the outcome

With the exception of the loops and straights, this was made purely with the H:SAK.

Jakizle, I might have a few new screens later today.

Later today meaning now.

Most of prelift is done, complete with custom track connectors and footers.

awesomeness!!!

wow it does look nice! and i never noticed the ultrasonic fade on the trains! I think the fading supports will be awesome!
Will they afde at the same level as the track?

^ yeah, or as near as I can get.

Cartexture is great Wing-Over.

A quick update, the lift hill is now finished. I've still got to do the catwalk supports, but the main columns are done. Because of all the crossovers on one side of the lift, about half of the supports ended up being strectched to the left, giving some great foot choppers in the zero-g roll.

Another update, I've now completed most of the first drop along with it's connectors. This took much longer that I thought because I had to do a new shape for almost every connector.
