4D project (Release Dates Pg.2)

i was so close to actually retiring from making scream machine tracks, but X2 inspired me hehe
so yeah i am happy to say, im back [:D]

Here is my next creation, it's a 4D coaster, inspired by X2. This project will take a while. Thought i'd keep you guys updated with this [:)]

heres the update for today...

This is where I think SM is better than NL. The catwalks are much better and they put more detail in the trains, good job!

^thanks

-i am about 90% done with track work

-will feature a dark tunnel (complete)

you can download the SM demo to find out yourself

thanks, everytime i upload a SM track i always post a POV of it on youtube, so i'll be sure to get that for you.

update tomorrow! [:)]

I think I might just kill myself now.

Looking foreward to the track, BB, makes me want to reinstall SM.

Ahh, yes. This is why I got SM. Can't wait.

i've seen the demo of SM, and the actual version a few times... there is no way in hell SM has better graphics than no limits... not even close imo, (this isnt ment to start some big retarted argument, so please refrain from doing so... )

It's about the other way around... SM has more options and NL as the better graphics. But now with the NL 1.7 update it's about the same with options.
But the best thing about SM is that it has some tracktypes that NL doesn't have: B&m flying, 4d, pipeline, etc.

ahhhh... i think i plan on staying with NL.
nothing agaist SM though.
thanks for clearing that one up.

SM has good graphics, but if you ahve a graphics card capable of running all the optimum effects with a hint of anti-alaising, NL wins... hands down...

I wish nl had a 4d coaster like this

thanks for the replies guys!

well thats it for today! thanks for reading!

Wow this ride is really amazing!
Your doing really great just like all of your other rides.

^ thanks
this ride WILL be an improvement from all my other rides.

^ Technically or in complexity?

I still haven't been able to learn how to do my own custom supports. Could you teach me or give me some tips?
