Tidal Wave: Intamin StrataCoaster

This is a basic Intamin Strata ( Like TTD just higher )

This ride is almost done since I have been updating on another site.
Here is a link to the Pics ( There are to many to post )

looks kool cant wait! r those catwalks at the top 3ds?

Yes they Are 3ds. ( If you want it I will eventually ulpload it, but due to the nature of how I placed the 3ds files on my comp and the nature of the amount of 3ds I used ( I didn't start optimizing it untill I got Sketchup which means half of it was done with the OC and is extremely High Poly'd ) It runs 1fp on my comp and when you unload the NLpack it iwll place approx 10-20 files on your desktop.

Looks nice, but those footers seem a bit large.

idc man my comp runs slow all the time. I still would love if u uploaded it. as long as it's no trouble to u.

Nope, its no Trouble to me, but it might be for your desktop. ( I am making a YT vid for it for anyone who does not enjoy 1fps awesomeness )

And Griffonluv, the footers are decently sized, the fit size 3 and size 4 tubes respectavly. They might be a little large, but for the realism effect, I say they are better then the default ones.

True. Any chance you could slim the base a bit? That's what I mean.

my dad blocked youtube! by the way im x77Billyboi77x on youtube.

Oh I recognize that name ( If you want the Vid I can send you a DL link when I make it )

ya thad b good

I idolize anybody that can make 3d's like that. The truth is I suck at making objects so I usually just stick to the whole wooden supports thing. Good work man, I can't wait to see more project from you.

Thanks, It has taken me about 4 coasters ( Each one taking a few months ) To get this good with 3ds, and the new addition of Sketchup ( Which has so many more capabilities )

Thanks

u use sketchup? OMG i cannot get it to work everytime i export the object the coloring turns out odd. wat do u do?

^ Export the 3ds with 3ds Max.

i do. no limits puts shadows on the object nd the colors get screwed up.

turbo its randomman4's ride lol

Lol, Turbo, I know, The ride was solely to see if I could get a decent tophat made with AHG and Elementary, and then decided to test my Support and 3ds skills. I was not aiming for a perfect tophat.

But From the beggining I knew the tophat was mishapen. I blame my lack of knowlege with H:Sak

my bad, i was skimming through and barely paying attention lol

If there was anything shown on that picture...it was that shot of Nitro, showing us an example of how to shape a B&M Hyper coaster Diving turn!

It was to show the top hat of Kingda Ka. Nitro just happens to be in the picture...

Lol, you guys are slightly odd. Anyway. The 3ds is done ( I did everything that belongs to the ride so the path just stops where it would go out into a park )
