Whoo hoo. A B&M Hyper.

Having a max height of 250 feet, and a top speed of 83mph, Monstrum sports 9 thrilling elements (6 airtime hills, 4 have zero-g at the top, 1 hammerhead turn, 1 helix, and 1 overbank), and an amazing 5,606 feet of track!

Here's a little teaser:

Ya' gotta' love Wings 3D. I sure do. And the "MONSTRUM" part of the sign is a complete 3Ds. Going to be an FPS killer[devilish]

LOL! I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh. It's going to be an FPS killer? There are just a few letters made into 3d shapes on a sign. Nothing special, complicated, or graphically demanding about that.

I'm not bullying him, it just looks very rounded.
The overall layout looks very linear too, need a side view to comment totally.

As for FPS killer:

I still am not done with 3Ds and supports yet, although 3Ds is going to be easy to do this time around.

I'm finally getting the features of Wings 3D, and I just figured out the measurements for it this morning, which is how I made that station. It fit "LIKE A GLOVE!!" first try, no mods needed. Pretty awesome to see it just plop right in.

Now, if only someone could export my track to 3Ds, so I can make catwalks from 3Ds (please).

Looks linear and not shaped very well. Try looking at pictures of what you're trying to represent. Why don't you show pictures of the ride instead of 3ds?

awww come on coasterkid, his sig has nothing to do with the topic, it is not bad, neither is it good, it's getting pretty damn annoying that every single topic you will moan at him for his signature, i mean, can't you just have a sense of humor and overlook it?!

ok, rant at CK over, this looks quite good, did you use 3ds circles, because i don't think you ever answered the question, and i will test iffen you wanten.

Oh, no I didn't use circles. The helix has a constantly changing radius, so circles were out of the question. The hammerhead was just eyeballed (turned out nice, but has a HUGE radius), and the overbank was just eyeballed (also turned out nice). I saw two minor bumps, but I don't want to go back and change them.

Everyone makes fun of you Xpress, because you are kind of a twit.
-You are bragging about very bland and silly looking 3ds.
-Your layout for the ride from above is not something to be shown off, its very linear and makes me NOT want to download this ride, rather than ride it.
-You use smilies, and generally too much excitement in all your posts. What's with this 'It fit "LIKE A GLOVE!!" first try'. Why so much capital letters and exclamation points and even quotes. Everyone knows that is a phrase, and what it means. I would've written that as "It fit like a glove first try".
-You tell us about how you are not finished with the supports, with an included picture of the track with the supports clearly not done.

Xpress, I'm sure your rides would get more regard if you didn't make it out like you knew EVERYTHING about what type your making, and then release a very disappointing design. That happened with both of your most recent designs, but I don't doubt you can come back and make great roller coasters.

Why the hell not? If a ride bumps, fix them. You're lazy and your rides will be a complete waste of your time and our time until you learn NOT to be. Grr.

Hey hey hey, I'm still working on it. I'm still trying to create that "perfect masterpiece" we all seek for.

And since the 3Ds have a high poly count, they are FPS killers. My FPS on this laptop usually stays above ~70, and when I added the 3Ds, it started to drop down to around 30-40.

Perhaps you'd have less confrontation if you just posted more images of what you actually have and asked for constructive feedback?

You don't have time to take side pictures, and pictures of actual track that might make us care about your ride?
