Stingray - B&M inverted 4 seat

Hello everyone,

As some of you might know I have been very busy lately with all sorts of things, leaving me less time for No Limits and this website. Anyway, quite a while ago I have pretty much finished a new ride; Stingray. I have been working on this ride for almost a year. Well, actually I just took a year to finish it and had it like 90% done after a month.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I decided to make a promotional video, just to hype things up a little [pshades]. But I never got to uploading it and posting it on the forums, so keep in mind this video is about a month old now. Enough talk, time for you to download this zip file, unzip and view!

Thanks X, glad you liked the video.

The Renegade video is went offline, but since I have my own site these days I uploaded it here so you can view it again if you want: Renegade promo video. Just so others know, there are just some very simple effects in there and some flaws of course, because I made that one with movie maker 1, and trust me, that program did not have otions. It only had one option, which was putting in transitions.

Well, I think pretty much everyone becomes green with envy when they are relatively new to the game. My old tracks are worth a good laugh too and I can remember the days that I would get quite frustrated with low ratings

Hey, the stingray video was awsome, cant wait till you release the real thing.

Looks great, I'm ready to go ride now! The video was a adrenaline rush, too! Can't wait till it makes it here to wws! Just wondering, how did you create a video on no limits?

Do you just have one CRAZILY beefy computer or are you using something other than FRAPS? lol

[GRIM.657]

that looks awesome!!! cant wait for it to be up for download!

Well, my computer isn't that beefy at all actually. It has a 2.7 Ghz Intel processor and a 64mb ATI mobility Radeon.
The strange thing is that when I use fraps, the framerate drops like to 10 FPS but when I then view the captured result, it's back up to 25 FPS and runs fine. It's weird... but it works [:)]

Thanks everyone for the positive replies [pshades]

[gouldy]

My computer is so bad that I can't even download the video because it open a new browser window which crashes my computer [:(] So I'm going to have to wait until the ride is released when I shall be able to ride it with my blummin' brilliant 2FPS, YAY! [:D] (said with no sarcasm what so ever [;)])

That is unless someone wants to send me the video [:D]

[GRIM.657]

ill send it to you

Well, you definitely kicked the pants off of my preview video, GFA. This one was alot like the preview videos that real amusement parks would use to get people interested in their new coasters. It was awesome. I can't wait to see the coaster, and I hope you continue to give us a glimpse of your creative video making talents.

[coolbeans326]

nice promo, I thought that was pretty cool, anyways, once I load up Pinnacle 9 on my computer, I think I'm gonna start making videos, maybe, but I have to see If I can plug my video cam into the back of my card, but I think I do have a TV-out, so I might be able to.
