Playing around with intamin rockets

Good? Bad? Shaping? Continue? you tell me.

Lol I've been working on one with the same exact start except for a big s-hill after the turn that goes under the launch at the bottom.

Really? Lol. Post a pic i wanna c that. Ur like a shaping master too so i wanna compare.

I've been having major computer problems and I don't have any pics nor had a chance to work on it at all really. Yours looks good man, keep going at it!

The tophat is a pain. Any problem with the shaping that i should fix early on?

I feel like the top hat is a tad round at the top. Could we get another angle or 2 on it fo mo inspection?

Its just the angle. And theres more layout which is really flowing so far. Its feeling very realistic.

I honestly think it looks fine. Looks like Storm Runner to me! Im assuming thats what you were going for as opposed to a ispeed style top hat?

Well yeah pretty much!

Layout done. Added another inversion and an Intimidator hill thing. And an intimidator sequence of hills at the end. (i like intimidator 305)

Questions suggestions comments and criticisms always appreciated! The more i see you care the more i care. [:D]

So far its looking damn good kyle. that roll looks a bit "newton-ish" but on second observation it seems ok. i love the layout though!

Its more a barrel roll than anything. Its got hangtime and lats on the way in and out like a barrel roll. It actually looks and rides just fine.

Comments still appreciated

Yeah, ispeed's roll pretty much makes anything in Newton acceptable for Intamin rolls now, haha. Looks good man! Just might want to turn a little more in the last turn...as it stands how are you going to turn from brakes to station?

Haha i just built the turn it works and looks fine. I did slightly extend it in order to do it.

It look really cool IMO.
I just think you should change all the transport parts into brake one (the launch, and the beginning of the final brake run). Hide brake device of course, but that way, it can be slowed down is case of roll-back or E-stop.

Oh wow i would have never thought of that! i sure will! Im making a 3ds launch and support connections.

Well the launch is done completely done. Lookin sexy too.








Even has seven bolts!

Next will be the supporting. The launch will have 3ds supports cuz real supports would mess up the ties which i spent a while lining up to the acual track. Who said sketchup wasnt good for nolimits?

oh and i got the catch car texture here-



And also i will be making a 3ds station.

So if theres anything wrong that i should change about it tell me now or forever hold you peace.

Comments?

I'd suggest re-doing the catchcar texture considering rockets use 1-piece catchcars.

oooh yes good idea. Will do that. Any good angle photos i can manipulate the perspective of the catchcar and create a texture with would be extremely helpful if anyone comes across one.

Maybe helpful? I dunno.

YES. Time to open gimp.

Ew gross go to next page the texture and catch car size is fixed.
