look a bit over supported.

[TallonD83]

I am completely new to making woodies, so whatever you have to help, let me know!

I was really going for this look:

[TallonD83]

I have been searching my C:drive for HOURS to find the files related to the corkscrew cars, not the textures, so that I could try and wireframe them and model the 2nd gen Vekoma cars directly from them. So far, no luck to find anything of the sort, anyone else have a clue?

I've always wanted to see the model as well for the trains. But I've never found them as well.

Just an overhead of the editor without any imported 3Ds, trees or paths...yet

They're likely bound up in a data file to stop people from pilfering their models.

I don't want to "pilfer" just mold after. oh well

Yes but not everyone is as legit as you

[TallonD83]

I seriously need some help with color schemes...Never realized how much black purple and green there was in Gotham...

In the meantime, to give everyone a sense of scale:

[TTD03]

Wow! Very nice!

[TallonD83]

but seriously...need help with colors...

Try incorporating a bit of yellow in the color scheme like the batman logo. I understand how difficult it would be to pick colors though

[TallonD83]

I always hated the yellow batman. I was going to go for the lighter blue, with dark blue supports for his coaster, and something with a dark pink and darker supports for cat woman. but for everyone else its seems like black green and purple EVERYWHERE. It's driving me a bit...batty...HA!

[Blase Rhine]

Just an idea...

I would look at a picture of each character and the first color that stands out is the main color for the coaster.

For instance if I look at batman I would see black/grey and yellow. Catwomen- mainly black and maybe some pinkish colors. Bane- Green and yellow (for the venom Bane uses). Joker- Green and purple of course you could also throw in maybe some white. Harley Quinn- red and black. Etc.

I hope this may help a little.

[TallonD83]

That has definitely been my main plan, but there is quite a bit of repetition in the batman villain world it seems. I will see how it goes and tweak as necessary from here I think.

[TTD03]

Keep us updated please!

I agree with this principle!

Although Catwoman is pretty much always portrayed as pure black - but perhaps purple (as in midnight purple) would be most apt and preferable to "pinkish" colours to add a bit of distinction.

How about a little Twisted Rails action courtesy of Poison Ivy? On a side node...Hammerheads are SUPER difficult!!

[TTD03]

Sweet! How tall is that?

[afro85]

It's around 55 meters.... How do I know?

[TallonD83]

^Cos you can instantly recognize its basis?

[afro85]

Nah... I just looked at the grid!

[TallonD83]

Well then, for the record it is 229 feet at it's highest point, and -8 feet at its lowest point.I think I have a pretty good scheme for a floorless for catwoman I started on to take a break from supporting. might show that soon.

[TTD03]

so first 200 foot floorless??

[TallonD83]

Catwoman is Floorless, this is for Dr. Isley.
