The Smiler Recreation RELEASED - TIME TO GET CORRECTED

[JAMMY]

Hello CoasterCrazy Forum,

I've recently found this site and thought it would be a great place to share with you a recreation that a friend of mine has created, Nemesis94, and that I have added scripted features to. The recreation is of the Gerstlauer Infinity coaster, The Smiler, at Alton Towers.

Below are some video links of the recreation and I will be sure to add some high quality poster screenshots of the ride to this topic in due course. The project is still not complete and Nemesis94 would still like to add additional features to the recreation that will make it even more realistic. The final project video will be published to Nemesis94's YouTube channel so subscribe not to miss it. http://www.youtube.com/user/Nemesis94DJW

Thanks for your interest and I hope to update you all soon.

Hey! Welcome aboard! I've been checking out your Smiler recreation and it looks like you are leaving no stone unturned in reference to the amount of detail. It looks like it will definitely be a great recreation when you have it done! I certainly look forward to seeing it uploaded to the site. We can host very large files so you'll have no problem uploading it Once again, it is a pleasure to see you on this site, welcome!

Attention to detail is up to eleven, probably way past. You know that to be the case when the average person won't even have any clue to exactly why supports need to be redone just from looking at the trailer.

Oh man, Welcome to the site! I've been following this recreation for a while now and I've been really pumped for it! I can't wait to see more updates!

Is Nemesis94 the forum type of person? If he is he is more than welcome here too

Again, Welcome to CoasterCrazy!

Thanks for the warm welcome Oscar! I'm glad that you like the look of the recreation and if put up for download it will indeed be a large file.

Thanks for the great feedback. I myself was a bit unsure as to why my friend wanted to redo the supports but hey-ho, more realism.

Thanks Turbo for the great feedback and warm welcome. Nemesis94 isn't really a forum person no as far as I'm aware. I'm mainly the one who had been posting updates for him. I'll let him know about this site though.

Thanks for the great comments and I will be sure to update you when new things are added or other features are changed.

Regarding frame rate, I was having a play around and created 3 different versions of the file with increasing levels of detail in the scripted features. The main problem is the amount of CPU that is required for the video animations of the marmaliser, queue line screens and projections. On the high level of detail I managed to get a high of about 25fps I believe and on low level about 50 fps. I am still having a play around to see what works best though.

Once again, thanks for the great comments everyone.

[Turbo]

Any new updates?

[JAMMY]

^ I will try and get some new photos for you however Nemesis94 has not really had any time to work on the recreation lately. I'll try and show off more of the scripted features for you if I can.

[Turbo]

that would really be awesome!

:O :D

25 is not terrible, it's when it hit's nighttime, that's when everything goes wrong. Would you say you have a high performance computer?

Hey there! Sorry for the lack of updates.

No, the project is not dead. Nemesis94 has recently started his own enterprise business and has therefore passed the remaining work for this recreation onto me, however I have also just started university and therefore have had very little time for the project. However, with the Christmas break approaching, I will have plenty of free time to crack on with the remaining work for the project. I have to redo the supports, re-profile some areas of track and possibly add some more scenery. Nemesis94 is still interested in the project and will be providing feedback so that this becomes the best recreation it can be.

(Hopefully the break in development will allow for the Gerstlauer Infinity trains to be released, adding even more to the realism )

Below are a few photos to keep you going. Sorry it's taking so long but myself and Nemesis94 ultimately want the recreation to be the best it can be. Smile. Always.

Happy to see it back, like everyone else, I thought it had died. AS I can see oblivion in the background, is there a possibility for a recreation of the whole X sector?

Awesome... the smil0r is BACK! Nice to here that you??????re doing fine with your career, too!
Can??????t wait for some more smiling.moments!
