Star Wars coaster

Heh, yea I knew it was going to be a single pane graphic effect.

It didnt take me long to devise it or create it. I think it was simply getting it to look exactly like I wanted it. But I realized the concept when playing around with single sided objects.

I guess I should just use Object Creator for when I need to get textures to line up, for panoramic backgrounds, and Anim8or for creating the more complex objects.

I guess, but it sounds like its going to be pretty cool. Just have to wait mabye... 2..3..years..[:D]

Bah, shouldnt take you that long. but still long indeed.

Here are a couple of screenshots of the Tatooine environment. In the second one, you can see what I meant about the difference in color of the panels. If anyone has an idea about how to correct this, let me know.

Cool looking coaster![;)]

Dude That looks awsome[:D]

hey cjd, any progress?
i've got a nice idea, why don't you make a transport/lift section with the opeing scroll on the floor....to make a nice introduction or something...

The opening credits will be in the coaster description. I have not made further progress, because I have been busy unpacking, working, and going park hopping for the last 2 weeks. I am just now beginning to settle down a little bit, and I will get back to work as soon as possible.

UPDATE:

It has been forever since I have posted any updates about this massive coaster project... well, here is the scoop.


Progress:

-Conceptual design is finalized
-Tatooine horizon texture problem has been fixed.
-Mos Eisley Space Port is now under construction
-Luke's Farm is complete
-Rock cliffs nearly done
-Total progress: 4% completed.



NEW FEATURES:

I have decided to add a soundtrack to the coaster, which can be played in unison with the ride's motion to generate a truly authentic Star Wars adventure. You will not only see the characters and the action sequences... you will hear them too.

There will be several narrative scenes, like the attack briefing for the Death Star, and the final scene where Luke and Han get medals. Overall, it will almost be like an interactive version of Star Wars, where you are in the adventure.

Well, that's about it for now. I will post some screenshots and updates soon. As soon as the Tatooine scene is completely finished, a few months from now, I will be ready for a few testers. Stay patient... I want to make sure that this ride is worth the wait.

well....your making a starwars coaster....so, how bad can it be?

I know it is a duggen up topic, but please can I test?

^Not testers yet. I don't have anything that's really worth showing.

The only update is that I finally figured out a way to solve the issue with the Tatooine sky, and a way to make the launch into space look realistic. I have not abandoned this project by any means... it's just that I've been pre-occupied with Adrenaline Land stuff recently. I was inspired by the SW Hangar coaster that was posted a while ago, as it had a nice feel to the space flight section which I am hoping to capture on a huge scale for this coaster.

Anyway, progress has been very slow lately and I'm not going to be ready for testers until the Death Star escape sequence is involved. I'm still working on Mos Eisley Space Port, which is basically just a low-speed tour, so don't expect me to really start hyping and offering tests for another few months. Once I move away from Tatooine and into space, that is when thigs really get interesting.

Check back in August if you are still interested in testing then.

Make it part of Adrenaline Land! lol
