WWS/CC NL Tournament 2006 - Round 1

Dragon


This is my first entry into my first Tournament. This differs slightly from the version I sent CJD because I had very little time and barely finished the essentials. I ended up leaving out a more updated cartexture and trees.

Other than that, its exactly what was submitted.



I tried to go for something classic but with some modern twists. However, I tried not to stray too far from reality in the elements. This features an outside airtime hill which is a trademark to this ride (lol) as well as some great B&M shaped hills and lots of good positive forces in high banked turns.

Its not my best work but Im very proud of it. I thought it came out great for really only 8-9 days of work since I started 2 days late and lost 2 days during week 2.


The specs are within the limits but push the airtime limits to -1.5 I believe - might just be -1.4, your mileage may vary on machine.


I did something unique with the 3ds. Its not all one. I segmented the 3ds off into sections so that they all wouldnt have to be rendered at the same time thus saving polygons throughout the ride. I also went with some 2d planes to save on actual 3d sections and used some alpha as well.


This ride is supposed to have a 3ds station that is a Chinese temple but due to time and now me being exhausted - thats not going to happen - at least on this ride.


So hop in and enjoy your ride on Dragon!
