Mustang (Update July 7th. Help needed!)

I'm sure it will be splendid.

Gee thanks for the replies guys.

Anyways trackwork is 95% complete. I tried to make trick track down a drop and I think I may just make that section more "normal" instead (5 minute fix). I'll let it sit for a couple days to see how I feel about it.

I tacked on simple autosupports just to see what they look like. Time to make wide supports (sigh...), fix the terrain, and maybe get some 3ds in there.

Criticism and comments appreciated

That looks kewl.

Don't change the drop (unless you think it's for the better). I think it's original and cool, but I'm sure you'll get some noobs being all "ITS SO PUMPY"

Looks like a pretty neat ride. Will definitely be unique among woodies on the exchange, so that variety will make it stand out, if nothing else.

Also, that helix looks love ridiculous. Awesome, but ridiculous. It'll be interesting to see how it rides.

It has 10 moments of airtime lolz

holy crap its huge, glad your still going with it though.

The layout looks like a good one. Nice helix and nice second half of the layout. Bunny hills are fun.

It looks very authentic with the zig-zag boards between the rails.

Wow this going to be cool and that is something I rarely say about doodles ;) Also when the going gets toughthe tough get going hang in there and support that bad boy!

So from the looks of it I'm guessing you aren't going to do anything with the catwalks, right? It looks good so far though.

View from the 2nd to last camelback of the ride of first drop. Hopefully you can see the complex hell I went through lol.

View from around 1/4 of the way down the first drop

Also just an FYI the tunnel is for falling rocks, not just for the hell of it.. There will be 2 more falling rock tunnels later in the ride as the track gets quite close to the quarry before the return run bunny hills.

Supporting the second big hill currently. That lift hill and first drop was a goddamned beast to support from the height, awkward cantilevers, and the G's on it. Supporting should go quicker from here assuming time exists

wow, it looks really insane, the ride and the supports. I like it. Are you doing all the supports by hand or are you tweaking generated ones?

[Coasterkidmwm]

Tweaking generated supports, adding lateral bracing, and doubling up on the amount in high G areas

Damn, looks good. At least you're skilled at building and great with motivation!

Honestly, the layout looks good and if the trackwork is up to par with your usual work, all that extra support effort is going to put this woodie at 150%.

Finally someone speaking my mind.

Halp!

I have discovered since I suck at 3ds I am incapable of making a tunnel. The area I need tunneled and enclosed in rock is shown tunneled in this picture. Help can be repayed in the form of extensive track rates or something else.

Textures don't have to match well (recent blasting means fresh rock looks different than weathered rock), the tunnel shape can be whatever is easiest (doesn't have to be a circle), and I'm kind of hitting a wall right now because of this stupid tunnel. The exterior rock wall needs to follow the outside of the track that the green train is on (note the falling rocks tunnel that is there to make people feel better despite that a boulder would murder it lolz)

As far as the ride goes I'm on the detailing stage. All wide supports are done except for the helix and what is shown in the screenshot. I'm adding diagonal bracing to the existing finished wide supports and doing the diagonal squiggle reinforcing beam things (don't ever do these they will make you insane).

Anyways here is a picture of what I need done.

I can help u out if needed.

Send me the track file and I should be able to get it done by the end of the week if all goes well.

Edit: Granted, I'm not the best at 3ds, but I'm capable of this sort of task.

Jaynen thank you for the offer, however I've seen Boneplaya poking around the the site longer so I'm going with him. Nothing to do with your abilities so don't take it personally and thanks for offering to help.
