[3ds] BT Rock Pack 1

25 different rocks for you to use with NoLimits!



The first of (hopefully) many downloadable .3ds objects for you to use with NoLimits. This one is a pack of 5 sets with 5 rocks in each set.
Keep in mind that Rock 3 and Rock 4 is more high-poly (higher polygon count) than the rest of the rocks, meaning that they'll use more computer power than the other rocks. Feel free to include these rocks in your track packages. There's also no need for you to credit me for these rocks whenever using them, just don't ever claim to have made them yourself. Also, don't forget you can easily create your own rock type. More information on that further down this page.
Have fun with these rocks and look out for more downloadable ".3ds objects" to come!

Mac OSX Lion users, scroll down to the end of this post!




Make your own rock set:
1. Duplicate any of the existing rock sets (for instance "Gray Rocks", "Icy Rocks" etc).
2. Rename this folder (the one you just duplicated) to whatever you want your Rock set to be called (for instance "My Rock set".
3. Grab a texture.
5. Make sure the texture is a jpeg image (with the extension .jpg)
4. Make sure this texture is tileable.
5. Make sure the texture has a width and height which is the power of 2. For instance 128px * 128px, 256x256 etc. (512x512 pixels is the resolution I used).
6. Open the folder you created and renamed earlier.
7. Replace the file called "tex.jpg" with your texture
8. You can now use your own Rock set with NoLimits like you've used any of the other rock sets!

If you would like to share your own rock set with others:
1. Make a new, empty NoLimits project.
2. Place all of the rocks from your set into the scene (your NoLimits project).
3. Save the NoLimits project as whatever you want your Rock set to be called.
4. Open up the NoLimits Track Packager.
5. Select "File > New" from the menu at the top.
6. Double-click the NoLimits Project you just created.
7. Follow the instructions and then name your Track Package to whatever you call your Rock Set. Save it anywhere you want.
8. Upload the file you just created with the NoLimits track packager and share the link to it with other people!

Awesome.

Thank you

I'm glad that you like it!

Btw, if anyone hade any problems with the download (got to hear that from several people) I've added an alternative link.

Brilliant idea, sir! I've been wanting some rocks to use, and I'm just too goddamn lazy to make my own So thank you for this.

Wow, nice

can some one download this for me and then send me the 3ds files, or send me the link for track packenger for mac that isnt a power pc app

Use a virtual machine running windows to unpack your rides. Until someone updates the pack extractor, us mac fol are screwed. [:(]

Awesome, this should help people further enhance their rides Well done

^ Thanks!

Also, CC (thanks to Oscar and GavG) was nice enough to give me permanent hosting on their server. So the link is now updated.

And I'll upload something for you Mac people tomorrow.

Dude. You Rock!!! No pun intended. I haven't the patience to learn modeling. I'll see what I can with these. Thank you, Tom.

What other object types are you shooting for?

Your welcome!
At the moment I am experimenting with the possibility of creating buildings, rooms (or stations) with the help of a set of walls, floors and roofing. If things go well my first set will be a concrete building pack.

Also, for all you Mac OSX Lion users, I've added a .zip download as well as a short description of where to place the objects!

yea ... 3ds rocks for mac users
this made my day better

thank you

Yep! Just make sure you get the right path for the objects!

Thanks Tom!!!! I've been thinking about building a coaster modeled after Boulder Dash and your ROCKS will certainly make my coaster look more authentic. You're the MAN!!!!!
