Project: infinity

Go beyond....



Editor-esque teaser showing the twisted track.

I thought this made a really cool effect. [:)]

Another shot from the sim.


I'm leaving this one a mystery, so don't be asking for stats or for testing. I'll let you know when I want testers! [:)]
Feel free to guess stats and stuff though!

This ride is basically a time-killer right now for the time in between rounds of the NLT, but after I lose that, I'm going to devote a lot more time to this.

On a separate note, I'm looking for theme ideas, so those would be helpful.

Maybe a scary theming with wrecked supports or something in that way.

That would be great, but I'm not THAT good at 3ds!! My plan for the ride is to theme it extensively, but nothing too complicated.

How about something like... I dunno a alien invasion!?

O_o I like that......I'll see what others come up with, but that is DEFINITELY the top choice right now....Thanks, man!!!

Oh,maybe an spooky farm with rusty buildings and supports?(with aliens?).A little bit saw style.

See, that's also sort of what I'm trying to avoid (too much like Saw)...so I have to find a balance. Aliens, to me, fit the ride REALLY well, so I think I'm going to go with that. Thanks to both of you, though, for at least trying to help [:)]

Eh. Im not the biggest fan of the alien invasion, but... a cool haunted theme would be nice.

i like the theme too maybe a bit inspired by alien vs. predator???

Maybe not as much alien... but sci-fi in general. Kind of like how Space Mountain has its own theme.

Maybe something like this:

^ I like those... You should probably throw in some glowing green as well...

Or red glow... or blue.

wow, thanks for all the pictures Johnny, but...uhh....what do you want me to use them for, exactly?

I do like the general sci-fi idea, though....hmmm....

^Most of them are usable as texatures... I just found them on google image search. I searched "metal texture", "blue neon", "red neon", and "green neon".

oh I see....thanks! They'll work marvelously...

Crazy alien invasion say what!?

Maybe a coaster in the spooky,abadonned mines of Weyland-Yutani,from the third alien movie,or maybe a coaster in the pyramide from Alien vs. Predator.

3ds are started! The theme is going to be a general alien-esque theme, but it won't really focus on the invasion aspect of the whole thing.
Here are a few more teaser pics to keep you wanting more [:)]

Airtime hill OUTSIDE the building...

twisted element thingy inside the building.

Note that the colors are distorted via photoshop, so don't go assuming anything about the colors; they're neither final nor accurate.

-is excited-

Sweet, Gerstlauer! I thought it was an intamin.

haha glad you're excited! I am too, it's a lot of fun to work with.

awww, bless n00bs, they're so cute.

Still though, I'm watching this space for the development [;)]

3ds work is continuing...here are a few screenshots of the main building that most of the ride is housed inside of.


A first look at the scenery work. Do note, however, that the cannon seen in the above picture has been removed since this was taken.

Another view of the scenery.

Thanks to Johnny Richey for almost all of the textures visible in those pictures. They worked GREAT!

Again, colors were changed in photoshop, plus they're not final anyway, so don't go assuming things about the color scheme [:)]

The scenery work continues...most of my time will be spent doing the station/queue/plaza/other buildings or fixing up details here and there.

Why did you remove the cannon??? That thing was BADASS!

It was a model that I downloaded from google's "3d warehouse" and the modeler didn't make the faces double-sided (and he didn't give the shell a thickness), so it was really ugly in the sim, and I didn't feel like adjusting all of the faces. The only reason it looked decent in that screenshot was because I hadn't yet run the thing through Anim8or, and SketchUP automatically exports double-sided faces, but Anim8or gets ride of them, but it fixes the lighting. I loved it too, but it had to go. I may make my own cannon at some point, but for now, no cannon.
