Re: NLCotM: 8(December '09)

I am most definitely entering.
One thing: I think that the "Most Unique" and "Most Original" awards could probably be combined since they are so similar.

Re: NLCotM: 8(December '09)

I will enter, Nut I really dont understand the "No Taller than 75'" Rule. Why is that? That will make most of our elements small and have al lot of negative G's.

Are tools permitted? I personally don't think they should, but you decide.

No thanks. I wouldn't dream of doing this without AHG. Good luck everyone else though.

100% hand made is the way to go for me. I would enter, but I have bigger fish to fry, like a giga coaster

Re: NLCotM: 8(December '09)

Also, Is Custom 3D objects allowed? I have no clue how to do it but I really want to learn.

Re: NLCotM: 8(December '09)

Before in your post you stated the reason for tools not being allowed was that not everybody had tools and/or wanted to download them. 3Ds fall under the same requirements(you need the software, and this costs money unlike tools). Not to say that you should allow tools, but I'd like a better reason after that.

Re: NLCotM: 8(December '09)

By tools, I meant mostly the track enhancing ones, like AHG. It isn't going to affect any contests, so it'll be fine.

Re: NLCotM: 8(December '09)

I don't really think that 3d objects would affect the ride very much, other than add special details to certain parts of it. Using track-enhancing tools, on the other hand, would make a huge difference, so it would be unfair to use them.

Get me in,

one question does it have to be a hyper or megalite-ish, I see quite a few differences between those two.
