Marvel (Int Rocket)

Marvel

I wanted to hide this project from members and not post anything in forums, because that usually leads to me abandoning to the project due to some sick will of God. However, seeing as the release of this ride is only days away, I'll go right ahead.

It's called Marvel, and it's kind of a milestone for me. It's the first Intamin Rocker I've ever made and it includes my first 3Ds.

Alton and Jensen-nator have been absolutely amazing helps with this project. Jensen has been testing this ride since day one, and helping me with his opinion. He also tolerated my freak out when I couldn't pack this with the environment . Alton helped me get my hands on a working Trackpackager that allowed for environment to be included in the trackpackage.

I haven't done this much to a ride outside of trackwork and support work, and I have to admit, the experience working with 3Ds really proved to be outstanding. The scenery in this ride is very basic, but I'm excited about my future with objects.

Mmmmmm it looks great!
And that violet atmosphere is unique....can you tell us some tech data?[:p]

cant wait! [:D]

3170 ft. long
131 ft. high
Approx 40 seconds in duration
Two inversions

It comes out in three days, so you'll be seeing all of it very soon.

Looks fun man

Yeah, I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Looks interesting. Too much purple though in my opinion. Not that I'm saying I dislike the colour, but the supports, track and the ground blend together too much.

As always, if you need graphics, I am here.

Other than that, it looks great!

[B)] I know I should ask this in a different topic but it is mentioned here so I'll ask. How did you get the environment into the trackpackage? No matter what coaster I pack, the trackpackager never finds the environment! Is there a modified version of the packager or something? Everyone else seems to get it in so I figured it was just my computer.

[^]As for the coaster, it looks like it'll be good. For about 40 seconds in length, I'm happy because that sounds like a rocket with a little something extra.

One more thing, what 3ds program do you have?

-- edit --

Thanks, I didn't know their was a patch, found it in the tools thread.

^You need to download the Trackpackager Patch and extract the files.

I'm using Object Creator.

I LOGO IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION!!!

My take on the logo.

EDIT:


Somethin' with a little higher contrast.

I think that when you are trying to do a glossy logo like that, it's better to have the white fade away as opposed to being solid. lol. I love how many of these coaster threads are turning into graphic design competitions.

WOHOO! 300th post!

Quit hi-jacking threads Halo. [;)]

Gerst, lookin' very good. I don't think I've ever been this interested in a ride from you, so props mate, I can see some serious improvement. If you would like a tester, by any means, send it on over. From just the pictures, this is lookin' pretty solid. Nice, tight layout with plenty of twists. And it is eye-catching.
Keep up the good work man. I'm looking forward to this one.

I disagree. That doesn't look glossy at all. the sharper tones make it look as if it's sort of in a V shape on the front. I like that more. That's how light would look on it. And FYI I wasn't competing with you. I just posted my take on the logo.

Also FYI, I didn't just make the lower text white and the lower purple text a lighter purple, it has a gradient layer placed over top of it that's been made transparent. I did an alpha to selection on the text, made a new layer, did the black/white gradient on top, then shrunk the selection by 3 pixels. Then I made a new layer and filled that layer with a grey colour and made a new layer, then added another gradient effect,

Halo: Thanks for the effort but any graphic effect on the ride can be taken care of by myself

Calaway: Again, logos too Apple-y!

Iron Man, I'll hit you up on that testing offer via PM. Thank you, much.

Apple would never make a logo like that. Ever.

It did look kind of good...I guess you're right, definitely not Apple.

It's looking very good. It's a shame we have the same 1st element.

Making a few last minute changes. I lightened up the sun diffusion so it will be easier to see, and I changed up the station and cartexture.

Better. [;)]

That steel texture looks pretty odd all zoomed in on the station

That stubbed steel only covers the top and the track pit, so I hope it's not too much of a visual problem...

Screenshooting in progress.

That last one is awesome!

I absolutely love this!!!!It reminds me of a Maverick furious element in the final part.

I know it's not so important but I usually use small size textures (128x128 or 64x64) for metal.They simply give a more realistic aspect to the object.
