Hello all!

I am in the works of making a mine themed ride. My plan is to make the track seem like a mineride, and then to make a 3Ds mine around it. It is going to have plenty of mine tunnels, and open shafts, as well as weaving in and out of the mine in some areas.

Currently, I have nearly half of the track done. I plan on adding at least another 1000ft. to make total track length some 2000ft. total. Mainly, this is for families, not the thrill seekers, so max height is 55.5ft., and top speed of 37mph. I would not expect this to be released untill may sometime, as it takes quite a while to make 3Ds, especially ones of this magnitude.

I will try to reduce poly count as much as possible, to allow the less capable machines to run this.

For now, here is a picture to keep you occupied:

Hopefully the exchange will be back up by the time I release it (if it gets removed).

Well, it certainly looks very twisted and compact which is always cool. I just hope that the 3D's that you're talking about will match the ride and work well!

^I am hoping I can match them well. I have not made 3Ds on this scale before.

Here's a bit of an update, with 3Ds work: http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/2941/ldgm4.png

Now only to figure out how to reduce polygons, and then add the excruciating textures..

That's the general idea. A GG mini coaster thrown into a mine.
