I know this is not were this topic should go, but it's the closest fit. I just needed to know if any one knew of any links that shows you how to make a 3d roller coaster for 3ds max. I have been looking all over, but I found nothing[:(!] This would help me out ALOT! Thanks[:D]

to my knowledge there isn't any. I have tried making coasters in max, and have been somwhat sucsessfull. It's a big operation. You really need blueprints if you want to make a good recreation, and if you want to make something new, just make it in NL or SM. I'd be happy to help out with any questions you have about Max, and would be glad to help in the building process[approve]

that could be a problem
Do you really need to pics? becasue they where kinda a spur of the moment thing, I can't exakly disasembe what I've made, I'll a pic of the finish peoduct though. When It says "if it looks like this" just see if all the boxes are not cheaked.

I'm send the finished product right away.

ok, I got it. Thats what mine looks like. But I also found a different way to do it. Just take 3 cylinders, make the one in the middle bigger than the others, select every other polygon on the left and right of the middle cylinder and exdrud to your liking and make it smaller in width. I won't go in depth but thats the general idea.
