EElover2:
3ds are the second to last thing that will be completed. First the trackwork must be completed, then the terrain, then the scenery/3ds, then the supports.

Jimmy Yoshi:
FVD is a formula for Elementary which creates NL elements based on a series of inputted variations in g force and banking over time.

PROGRESS UPDATE:
For reasons already discussed on the Rating Requests thread, I have not made any progress on this coaster over the last two weeks. I will, however, be back to building for the next few weeks, until I go to CP. Then once I get my work schedule, I'll decide whether to continue building or put it on hold until the end of the summer.

Update 9/9/07:

This coaster is officially on hold again. Not because of motivation, or work, or anything else that would stop my desire to work on it. Over the summer, my laptop was stepped on. There is now a giant crack in my screen, and about half of it is covered by black blotches. It's too expensive to fix, and I can't find a replacement, so I'm putting this coaster on hold until I can get a new computer. I can still access the internet at least, but the limited screen capabilities are keeping me from properly designing this coaster to its intended vision. More word as soon as an alternative presents itself. Not cancelled, just another extended delay.

UPDATE 11/22/07:

Yeah, I know by now everyone's probably thinking "who is this guy?"

I just thought I'd post the update that I just got a new laptop, and this project is back on. Granted, I'm in a bit of a time crunch because of fall classes at the moment, but I'll be working on it whenever I can.

Probably more importantly is the fact that I am learning Blender Animator, which means that I finally have the means to make the elaborate 3ds volcano that I originally planned. (I was not looking forward to trying to make it in Object Creator...)

So "Lava Blast" is back on, and I have also started working on a updated version of "Cataclysm", since back when I made it I was really hindered by my limited smoothing skills. Now with the FVD at my side, I think I can finally turn that into a mind-blower rather than just a flashy, show-offy coaster like it is now. I'll post a separate topic once work really gets underway.

So, anyway, that's what's up with this long lost member. I'm finally back to work, and I'm re-joining the community after my 3-month hiatus.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
