Hunter (B&M Dive Machine)

My newest project, just trying out ideas atm. But I've got the ride type, a B&M Dive Machine. I wanna do something different from the current real designs. Just lettin you know, I am doing something.

It'll have a theme along the lines of; forest, tribal, witchcraft.

NOTHING is set in stone yet, not even that drop, so watch this space.

Looks nice. I think the theme is pretty neat. Also, how did you make the third screenie? I've never been able to.

Update: Ok, I've done a first draft layout. It;s not perfect and it's not smooth, but there are moments that really work, you can't really tell how it runs from the picture though you'll have to trust me.

What the hell is that thing in the right side of the second picture? Fantastic layout, by the way. Is that drop beyond vertical?

looks great

You need a program where you can select colors and change their hues, saturations and lightness. In photoshop, its easy. Take the picture with no grid. Then, once in photoshop, select the color, change its lightness to 100 and itll turn any color white. Select the track, change its lightness to -100. Turns it black. Voila.

Nah. I didn't see the point in going beyond 90*.

Ok I've changed the layout. It does the same thing but I've switched it round abit. There were too many left turns, I perfer this new layout, so it'll probably stick. (again Ignore the colour, I haven't properly thought about that yet)

Ah. Alright. Thanks.



Bob, I definitely like the newer layout. It looks more exciting. Would you say this is the final layout?

I'm always impressed with the layouts on you coasters. I am really liking how this one looks. Good work[pshades]

I like this layout a lot more than other Dive Coasters I've seen.

Lol....

But yeah, I don't believe water brakes work as well on NL than in real-life, so I decided against it.

That is such an unbelieveably sexy coaster.

What people usually do is make the water a 3ds, put either brakes or magnets under the water and then 'hide brake device'.

Yeah but it doesn't add anything to the ride. I'm aware of how to make them, heck I've even tried one out on this ride, but they're really boring to ride in a sim.

The only reason I like them in real life is the rooster tail that follows the train, you can't get that in NL so I don't see any point in having one on NL, esspecially as I don't intend using any objects on this ride.

I know red is such a common dive coaster colour, and I've done a red floorless before. But I just think it's the most striking colour and the one thats worked best for the theme, I feel.

I changed the bottom of the drop area because I wanted it to be abit more open down there, I didn't like the immelman going under the first drop.

Go back to the old colors. It was so sleak and sexy. The red + grey has been done 8 million times.

^ The white?

I love it but it would be my 3rd white coaster =(. The black was too dark, wasn't bold enough and didn't stand out.

My last coaster was blue.

Green doesn't stand out enough, yellow doesn't suit the feel I want for the ride.

I'll have a play but I'll get a better idea of colours when I get the supports in, but for now I have some gripes with the layout that need sorting, and some mega smoothing needs to take place. Sad times. Thanks for the feedback though.

Dude, that black looked REALLY good, it would really stand out if you had a park revolving around it. It looked so sleak and...

SHEXY...[8D]

Hmm ok, I'll give it a go, I'm thinking of supports though. I don't want to do "double black" (ie Oblivion) I think thats abit far..

Looks good, but PLEASE don't use that font ever again. At least not for a coaster called "Hunter". It makes the name look like a joke.

But yeah, other than that, looks good!

Yeah I'm not using that font, was just playing about really.
