I'm actually planning on doing one more large project for RCT3 and then finish Star Tours, then finally calling a quit.

[ryguy222]

Yeah i'm hoping this one is my last as well, but you gotta finish star tours, that Ride gonna be sweet. I was going to make a ride with chroma key, but just making a quick thirty second chroma key was difficult enough!

Yep I feel the same way sometimes R6 there are days when i just don't want to go into the game. And compared to other games it takes a pretty long time to load. The game takes maybe 30 seconds to come to the main screen, then about 3-5 minutes to load this park. And I have a good computer, i have two dual cores at 2 ghz each, and 3gb of ram. So i know its not my computer, because it does the same on my friends computer and he's got a dual core with 3.4 ghz. I'm sorry but by the time everything is loaded up, i don't want to do it. They really need an RCT4, and they should now that Chris sawyer has dropped the lawsuit on atari.

Even if Superstriker got every a task assigned, it just wouldn't work. Nobody would do there work, it'd take way too long, and after the three year deadline rolls by everyone has forgotten. I did talk to him, and last project i heard him working on was a 3D model of Disneyland, in 3d's max, but i'm not sure if he's still working on it.

Funny how that works lol.

R6 I never kicked you off I just took over and then nothing ever happened its in the same exact place as before.

Anyways nice job on the coaster looks good.

The way I worded it may of not been the best. Heh.

[ryguy222]

^funny how that sometimes works.
Alright now I've been busy the last few days, because I found wii fit at a game stop, and of course I got it. IF you own a Wii you must get it, its not just excercise, but most of the stuff is pretty fun. So the last few days i've been doing that. Today I'm going to the eye doctor, and they might get me glasses I had them since I was a freshman, but I lost them, and they told me i really didn't need them but that might change today.

Anywho, I've also been working in sketchup because of boredom. I do plan to work on this now, but I will say the screens you get will be very limited, because I don't want to reveal the theme. If you think you know what it is PM me.

[ryguy222]

Sorry about the double post, but I've got some good news, and pictures, and If i don't make a new post, then nobody will look at this for say a few weeks. And I've got pictures! Plus I'm revealing the theme, because Its almost time for a release! I recorded the full atraction last night, as well as a few FCR's for the intro and outro, and I watched it on my big 48'' Tv thats conveinetly plugged into my graphics card. And what a show it was. Of course, I took down some notes of things that need fixing, or improvements. Plus the roof isn't on yet, so if i need to make adjustments I easily can. I'd love to show you that video, but I'm not going too, because it just isn't that good yet. And now the theme.

The name... well its working name is Rockin' Coaster. How original I know... But I just need to think of a better name. And now that you know the name, you can see some pictures! BTW Any supports you see are custom supports :-)


^First Lift


^First Day


^Overview


^Pyro!


^Lasers!


^Tower!

Now for the soundtrack, I made a mix of many different songs. I picked them randomly using the iTunes auto playlist. Funny enough, all the songs are in a Guitar Hero game.

Bands included:
Guns n' Roses
Rage Against the Machine
Metalica
and
Dragonforce

You may know the titles of the song, but until then keep yer' mouth shut! lol
Oh and if you have any Name suggestions please lemme know!

Previous Release date : ???

Current Release date: end of june-mid july

That coaster looks crzy!

[Mad About Mickey]

I SO want to see the video of this when it's done. it looks amazing.

[ryguy222]

^Well right now its not at its best unfortunately. For triggering events, I find it easiest to make a separate mix master, and just watch the track from wear i want the trigger point, and I pause right when it gets there and take down the time. Unfortunately, a couple of the events did not trigger at the right time. I still plan on adding tons more lasers, some more pyro, and now that I'm working with just a flat wall, (instead of a dome like my Rockin Space Mountain) I should be able to put in some pretty sweet projections.
BTW Stevo the coaster looks crazy, but the G-Forces never go above 4.7. or below -4.7. The excitement rating is also a 9.8 intesity is a 7.6 and nausea is a 9.5.
Oh and I still need to make a Queue line. I can either go all out and make an indoor queue line (that has effects ) or I could just make a kinda cool, covered queue line. But If i make a building it will of course set back the release date a couple of weeks or even a month! Or I can just forget the queue, but this could possibly be my last video for RCT3 that I ever make! (I've picked up custom scenery design thats why ) Plus next year is my senior year, and in video production class we have to do the senior video. And I may be the main co-ordinator/main editor/ person in charge, and my teacher hinted that its a good chance, and if that is the case, my spare time will be devoted to that.

And on a final note! THe roofing for the building from the inside is a pitch black roof tile, and above just a brick or concrete thing. Now should I leave the grass for the floor, or should i change it to black looking rock, a steel metalic floor, or a pitch black floor. I really am not sure which to use, but I'd like to know everyones opinion.

I am stuck between the pitch black floor and metallic flooring, they both seem that they would work well.

[coasterdude550]

wow that coaster looks awesome!

[ryguy222]
