Intamin Giga- Tsunami

Yeah ikr! Its so cool to ride through.

That's an awesome tunnel. What program did you make that in?

omg that tunnel is epic!!!

Sketchup.

Excuse the wierd shadows. Stupid smooth lighting. Always fu=*cking things up.

[/orgasm].

I changed it a bit for the better. Better texture and color. And a cool view. BTW when your looking at both of them without the supports in view it doesnt affect the fps one bit. 76 fps.

Neat idea. I like it.

Wave inspired station started.



I think im gonna take a 3ds break and start/finnish real supporting now.

The station should also have something extending back behind it with wait line in it and the boarding rows should be on the opposite side with the exit on the side where the wave is breaking.

this is looking great man. I'm really looking forward to this. (just as i am all your other rides haha)

^^YES like another wave covering some queue paths. And your right i will do that. Thats just a rough outline of my idea.

^Thanks you its nice to have good feedback. Makes stuff like this happen-

1 unsupported section down, 2 to go!

This is looking really solid. Are you including more 3D's, or scenery for that matter (Trees, Teraforming, etc.)?
I can't wait for it.

Yes more 3ds on the station and entrance area, and trees, and a bit of terraforming!

More progress anyone?..

The parts where you have the 3D waves should blatantly be in water. In your latest pic, just extend the water up to surround the wave area.

Analyse this:
You go through two tidal wave that come out of the ground, but you do an over-bank over the water?

Yeah but the wave 3ds isnt tall enough to reach the water, so ill have to edit the object.

Better?

Much.

The waves are awesome, but the water looks kinda strange without reflections, is there a particular reason you turned them off?

Also, have you considered making the waves semi-transparent? Just a random idea, but it might give a cool effect.

On second thought use a 3d for the water so it and the wave are the same color.

You guys need to remember that the wave is SUPPOSED to look fake. Because in real life it would be made out of the same stuff disney parks use for theming and stuff, that weird concrete material. I was planning on having the waves be realistic, and have like sphere maps making them reflective (which it think i may still have done) and have them be transparent, but i realised they are merely a prop/theming aspect. They arent meant to blend.

Anyways i finished supporting, so im gonna do the station now, and ill probs upload either later tonight or tommorrow morning.

In real life I would expect them to be water jets/fountains spraying.... like the "splashes" on Manta.

Well thats a cool idea, but mine are meant to represent inanimate theming.

Edit- and it looks cool with the reflections btw..

I like that latest picture. It has some real flow to it.
