Moonsault Scramble!

Alright fellow Coaster-Fans it is time for me to embark on a mission. This mission was delivered to me straight from the God of coasters (who at the time was on a vacation back in time to Mount Fuji in 1990) I have recieved this message which tells me "You are an exceptional bird and one who needs to recreate....MOONSAULT SCRAMBLE!" So now here I am and I am working on this f***** pretzel knot. I really need all the feed-back I can get on this project starting now. How do you take editor screenshots on Windows-7? Thank You and as soon as this question is answered my progress will be revealed!

Uhm, delete System32 and throw your laptop/computer out of a window.

Come on man! Can't a guy just get a tip on this site anymore?

Completely uncalled for, RWN.

Dan, use the "snipping tool" that's what I've been using.

Okay Thanks!

Double Post Alert! How do you export supports as .3ds, Yes I do have the construction kit.

Rwn, I did wat u said and it totally worked but my computers broken! Lol I did something wrong,

Like, Import your coaster into the CK so it all shows up with supports, use "save model as" or something and only check the box that has supports.

Thanks!

This


And then this

Maybe if he was more serious about the topic I would've given a serious post. Also, don't listen to NightwindElf. Just use the "prt sc" key and paste it into paint. You can actually make circles, instead of shitty handmade circles.

When I click modeler it produces a small drop down menu that says "Create Model" and another option..."Save Model As" and I have the full liscensced version!

Again, uncalled for. Besides, pressing prtsc requires you to go into paint and crop and save. Using the snipping tool eliminates half of that process.

Oh, use "Save Model As". The other one lets you change some stuff if you so please.

Feel free to steal the 3ds pyramid things I made on the recreation I made a LONG time ago. I made the banking too "nice" on it so it's not wholly accurate but it has the general idea down. If you can get the banking correct with the horrendous lateral snap that would be better.

I'm not saying they're particularly good but they're there if you need them.

Thank you so much! One hung I am doing HEAVY .3ds on this and it will rival the work of dare I say the architect but yes if I don't use yours them you can bet I will base mine of of them!

Remember this topic?

These remarks fall into that area of rudeness. Either help the guy out or dont post. Strike one.


PS: As far as I can see your little banner in your signature is against site rules. As far as I can see you not in the groups allowed to have an image in the signature area.

Oh, sorry bout the banner I didn't know buy GavG had one and he said I could get my own sooooo. Anyway when I get home update 1 will happen

Here are the Pics please give me suggestions if you have any! Also constructive critiscm is welcomed hateful comments are not.

You should still tunnel test that.

I did and a small corner of one tunnel went into the other but it was far enough that it would not hit ever. So what do you think about the over-all shaping and I still need help with the support .3ds.

You should be good, then. If another tunnel on the same block sticks into "the" tunnel, you're fine. I can give you a hand with the supports, looks like it would be fun doing that eye shape.

Moonsault Scramble ? Now this is one that wouldve never thought anyone would do. . .i was going to suggest you do Tennessee Tornado, since i "took" your idea. LOl .

Hahahaha RWN made this thread worth reading, don't hate on him Tetsu...

I think it's a pretty basic recreation and it looks good so far.. I look forward to more!

Remember it's a shuttle with the train starting backwards instead of forwards like usual...

Okay Time For A Major Update! Carefully studying of pics, pov's, home videos (my japanese friend) and many other various forms of media have rendered me with the first of the .3ds! Oh and by the way GerstlCrazy this is the type of ride that is easy to make a decent recreation of but hard to get perfect and perfection is what I strive for! Here are the pics.

Here you can see a perfectly good sketchup ruined by black faces! I really need some help with this. I made the station and entrance ramp.

As usual constructive critiscm is welcomed and encouraged!

I think you're pretty bad at shaping, you might want to finish the trackwork in case your 3ds happens to be too low and you throw off the rest of the shaping. The 3ds is great though, I wish I had enough brushes to do that. the supports look poorly designed, more like a sculpture than an actual ride but this is just commentary on the actual thing. Don't forget the flanges, they're not very plentiful but they're there.
