This is Prancer. A decently mild, somewhat forceful, exhilarating and surprising family roller coaster with a top-hat!

Right now, all I want to reveal are some pictures. There may be more to come, but the ideal release date is MONDAY.

A turning drop.

A twisty family layout.

A Maverick-esque mid-course launch run.

A family top-hat [:)]

Supporting starts first. Then objects.

I LOVE the layout before the launch. Great stuff man. Shaping looks really good too.

Will yours have a exit into a wild nightclub after you ride. Or an underground exotic blackhole to dive through?

Looks really good, the first drop shaping looks great. Are you going to delve into much custom scenery?

Yeah, I'm going to do a good amount of scenery. I have LIM panels being added right now, to appropriate spots. I plan on utilizing brick walls in certain spots. Other things I kind of want to do include catwalks, proxys, cartextures (which I never really mastered... I guess I better start now [:)]) and some other random objects like snowflakes.


-EDIT-

Moving along with brake fins and LIM panels. Proxys and catwalks will follow. These launch and brake sections will look better, this is just a rough shot. Also I get so damn frustrated with the retarded object placement system in NoLimits. The rotating functions need to be so much finer and precise.

The LIM's could be aligned better on the final brake run.

Also, what's with the flat part after the lift?

No, they can't, literally. Believe me [lol]

It comes from the majority of my inspiration.

Rotate tool in sketchup (I assume you are using sketchup)

Newton shows angle of decent, and simple trig will tell you the exact direction.

I think they look fine, infact the entire thing looks better than fine. Also he never said it was made in newton, could be hand built.
What are these for?

Heh no worries bro. It's ironic that you mentioned that comment anyway because that was the topic about which I was going to discuss with you that time in the chat.


Anyway, I'm using object creator, and coming up with really customized angle rotation in the object creator program is really ehhhhhhh non-existent lol. But it works well enough for me in most cases.
