This ride is almost done since I have been updating on another site.
Here is a link to the Pics ( There are to many to post )

Yes they Are 3ds. ( If you want it I will eventually ulpload it, but due to the nature of how I placed the 3ds files on my comp and the nature of the amount of 3ds I used ( I didn't start optimizing it untill I got Sketchup which means half of it was done with the OC and is extremely High Poly'd ) It runs 1fp on my comp and when you unload the NLpack it iwll place approx 10-20 files on your desktop.

Looks nice, but those footers seem a bit large.

Nope, its no Trouble to me, but it might be for your desktop. ( I am making a YT vid for it for anyone who does not enjoy 1fps awesomeness )

And Griffonluv, the footers are decently sized, the fit size 3 and size 4 tubes respectavly. They might be a little large, but for the realism effect, I say they are better then the default ones.

True. Any chance you could slim the base a bit? That's what I mean.

I idolize anybody that can make 3d's like that. The truth is I suck at making objects so I usually just stick to the whole wooden supports thing. Good work man, I can't wait to see more project from you.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

Thanks, It has taken me about 4 coasters ( Each one taking a few months ) To get this good with 3ds, and the new addition of Sketchup ( Which has so many more capabilities )

Thanks

^ Export the 3ds with 3ds Max.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Lol, Turbo, I know, The ride was solely to see if I could get a decent tophat made with AHG and Elementary, and then decided to test my Support and 3ds skills. I was not aiming for a perfect tophat.

But From the beggining I knew the tophat was mishapen. I blame my lack of knowlege with H:Sak

Lol, you guys are slightly odd. Anyway. The 3ds is done ( I did everything that belongs to the ride so the path just stops where it would go out into a park )
