There's no displacement map or normal map for Ultimate Ride, so I winded up generating a polygonal terrain with additional displacement deformation using procedural texture in order to create the lunar model.

Here's my current model, I am going to split the model in many 10k models in order to put it into the game. I lost my older model, but it will look like crap in comparison with the newer lunar model.

Basic info about the lunar environment
Polycount-161115, yes the game does support models over 100k tris
Texture-8192^2, yes the game does support that as well. I haven't done the texture because it will need to be mapped with several layers.

Also, I am going to work on supports because the game is severely lacking and I'm not fond of nolimits support either. Oh well, you got what you got. I decided to go for the longer route and create 3d models of supports with custom ground stuff separated. I will show pics later. The planned details on the support is 3d beveled/chamfered edges done using retopologization technique or remodeling using snap-to-polygon technique. I will show pics later.

I also plan to create custom coaster using 200-2000 tris model for the crossbar.

On a side note, my last environment for Ultimate Ride is the cadrestial desert environment. Pic is here

On a side note, I need to design new coaster docks because the ones in the default Ultimate Ride looks horrible.

It sounds like you're putting a ton of effort into this environment, and I would bet $30 (Private message me later on, to create a PayPal account if you win) that you will get less than 40 downloads on whatever ride you plan on making. That's not to say your effort isn't worth the effort, but not a lot of people pay attention to downloading this Simulator...

I hope you decide to buy NL1.7 with this being said, because nothing worthwhile is happening with UR or URCD

I would provide a video instead of the actual files of the whole ride. Why would I ever put on a deal on such a old stimulator that no one uses anymore except a few members on the modstothemax (The site appears to be overall dead). Tried NoLimits in the past, not interested. I am pretty content with what I got.
