Gravitate - Round 3

*******************************WARNING*******************************


Gravitate, the next dive machine experience is about to arrive


*******************************WARNING*******************************


As many of you know, i have been put against tyler for round 3 of the match up contest, so it is very unlikely i will go through as i just dont have the skill to beat him. But here are some pics of my entry anyway. Its called Gravitate [:D] It has 1 vertical drop, 2 near vertical drops and a few inversions and 2 helixes.

heres some pics

The ride is 3998.7 feet long [:O][:O][:O] How close [:p]

Looks fun Jpecool!

Although the loop looks a funny shape to me! Anyway, don't listen to me as im sure its going to be a a great ride and hopefully knock Tyler out!

[hyyyper]

i hope your loop is shaped enough...i dont know i cjd will take the measures of a b&m drop or the floorless car...

Dont worry, it isnt a normal loop, its like a half loop, and then then the half coming down stretches out to one side alot.



Look to the right of this picture, this is the "loop" from another angle, you can see how one side suddenly stretches out but keeps going round. Its pretty funky IMO put is a devil to smooth. Especially when smoothing is one of my worst parts in making tracks. BTW i dont know how to eliminate pumping, and i dont know what pumping really is, i thought i did, but im not sure anymore, lol. Can someone explain??? LOL.

[hyyyper]

looks more like a 180 sidewinder/diveloop

Its actually like an inclined loop, but one side is not inclined and the other is. It isnt a sidewinder as the lead out goes right around and down to the floor. Its like an immelman but mixed with a sidewinder. Its a new inversion, called an immelwinder!!!!!!!!!!!

Please people, give feedback!!!!

I think this looks really fun, keep up the work! Just remember, small things add up in the long run, so don't rush it too much

I think the colours are ugly.

I may change the colours. Give your suggestions and i will try them. [:D]

[hyyyper]

try this
main:silver ties:skyblue rails:silver support:darkblue

[gouldy]

completely black, then silver rails. If thats the colour they already are then I apolgize, its just I can't see any of the pictures

[hyyyper]

i would do completeyl black, only for drakrides

Make it orange.

But im themeing it like machinary, but futuristic machinary. Its going to be themed after a new invention called a gravitator which can change the force of gravity. [:D] So it needs to look kind of machin like so the colours need to be cool. Orange or red or something wouldnt go. Unless it was black and only slightly orange like Oblivion.

Those colours are cool, they all symbolize something that is linked to machinery.


Edit: the link dosen't work, but the colours are black, gold, dark silver, dark orange, and thats it.

Edit2: ok, play around a bit and you'l see the picture.

Just to let you know, jpe, Tyler has opened the door for you in this round. You have a definite shot.

I know i do, i know tyler let himself down but im really struggling for time on this. Examshave just finished so i will be spending as long as i can in the ride, but after seeing fear, people should know im not the best at steel coasters. Im trying to smooth it out, but there are 1 or 2 jerks that just wont go!!!! And i desperately need to finish smoothing either today or tommorrow to do the support structures i want and then the 3ds. Although 3ds dont take me that long so that should be okay. The 3ds for 20s revenge took about 10 hours.

OMG i ahve just used my first ever track altering tool [:O][:O][:O] It was alot harder than i wsa expecting as you actually have to work at it to get it completely right. I have only used the AHG, so i havent used elementary or anything, i dont understand elementary and i dont want to use it anyway. The track is still slightly unsmooth apart from the double roll which is almost perfect [:D]The rest of the ride has a few big bumps. [:(]

EDIT: More pics added at http://nldc.interfix.net/p551

Supports are coming along nicely. The last three pictures show the supports so far http://nldc.interfix.net/p551

[hyyyper]

supports look nice, but i hope your gonna change the colors

Why d you hate them colours so much?!?!? I like them colours and they will go with my theme so i am keeping them. BTW hyyyper i just rode Hathors Wraith and it was pretty cool, i will rate it later when i come back online. But i have to go offline now.

[hyyyper]

well, it's your choise, afcourse, but they look a bit boring, all dark, i'd bring some contrast in it, if you get what i mean, and thanks for riding hathor's

IMO, I think the colours look awesome! They fit the coaster very well.

Those lift supports look way to wide, un-widen them a bit. I think the ride good but un-widen the supports.

Yea, its a great shade of blue. I would have went with lighter supports because of the darkness but reguardless, still good colors.

Glad to see someone coming from the dark side to the Rebel Alliance with the use of the AHG
