Well, if history has anything to say about it ...
But, very cool that he remembered us over here on the other side of the internet. (Kept apart from other sites intentionally to prevent a riot.) I still think the octagon wheels are humorous.

What is that last coaster?

Ole?..... If so then I laugh at you.

Its just an image someone made in a 3d modeler and you can find it in Google Images. DCS thinks hes real sly...

Is it me, or is that NL 1.6 preview edition folder on my NLDC page feeling a little heavy... new screenie maybe? NL2 possibly?

Might be a good idea to check.

MASSIVE POLY COUNT!!! I liked the way you blended the rendering in, though... trippy.

Thanks for your insight Real lol. I don't feel bad... 703 views in 3 days means I fooled some people lol. T'was fun.

Yeah, I found that picture on google. I didn't modify it at all, so yeah it was already a pretty cool rendering. Hope you all enjoyed it!

that'd be pretty cool...I can't wait til there are games with next gen graphics like that. buuuut its not real, sooooo I don't care, annnnnnd NL will never look like that, buuuuuut who cares.

man I hope Ole doesn't skip another week

^ That's not next generation... that's next generation's next generations, next generations graphics. Who knows...

Well the Source Engines got that lighting, Crytek 2 has the foliage, and Unreal 3 has everything else... its not that far ahead.

^ look at the poly count. When you can't easily count the polies, there is a lot. And to get render quality poly counts like that, I still imagine will be several new cards into the future. But as far as enviornmental graphics go, yes we are not that far behind.

I think those gfx will be able to run in real time soon, it probably could run on something like the PS3, even with the high poly detail. I've seen many real time shots where you can't count the poly's (not easily at least), and those were XBox 360 games.

^Why does everyone think cosoles are superb? There are enough computer that are better than the 360

Yeah, but most normal people don't own the money to buy such a machine.

floorless beauty...

Wow! [shocked]

Holy Crap they are the best looking coasters in the game

Looks really good. That new view sounds pretty neat as well.

That target view thingie.. that is viewable in a promo-vid of a new wooden rollercoaster..

Voyage or El Toro.. not sure..
The cam follows the train from one spot and zooms in and out a bit.. Nice!

Trains are looking sexy!

I Belive its Voyage that has that. The trains are nice though.

I noticed the wheels don't look blocky any more.

Nor does the track. Now only if they have the station floors.

[rcmaniac25]

True

those trains are quite flambouyant in those screens. that target view feature looks pretty cool too. HAH garrett(sfmmhomie) I TOLD you they'd put it in....bitch

Those cars looked more detailed than they ever did before, and make the catwalks look just sad. [:)] Also, notice the env maps on the handle grips. They had those on the unicoaster too, but never did it to 1.5 except for the vekoma motorbikes' smoke pipes) I wonder what the target view will be like, it appears to have automatic FOV adjustments, and kind of reminds me of those kind of replay modes in mario kart. As to the water, he said earlier it would work with low end DirectX 8.1 cards (like the geforce 2/4mx), but since it's not going to anymore, I'm guessing he might have made an improvement to the feature, either one that makes it run faster and/or makes it look better. (maybe it's a mirror type effect now, and we might see some translucency too) Either way, doesn't really matter if it isn't supported by those cards, which are pretty much crap anyway.

good observation bout the env maps. Yea thats almost a definate that NL2 will have full on reflective attributes for trains/track/supports.

If you want a real demo of what the target view will be like, watch the Voyage sim vid they did back when they first announced it.

Click on the off ride video to see the target view used.

its really theatrical.
