That is all I have for now. But It's coming along good.
I plan on designing supports, and then twisting the track into different elemetnts.

^no, I made it with anim8or.
3d max is to much money...

To many cross ties. I'd take out every other one.

[TwistedDreams]

^Your right, but I can't because I saved it all as one piece, and I'm not going to re-do it. I'm stupid/lazy...

[TwistedDreams]

More stuff:

some turns...


And the lift is comin' along!
I know that the chain at the bottom of the transition sucks, but for some reason the shapes didn't want to bend, that is only a quick fix.

To Come:
Friction wheels
Topped lift with drop
Station

PS. I dindn't edit 'cause I wanted to *bump* the thread.

Looks awesome...Good job!

[TwistedDreams]

Btw: Bad Nitrus is where I've gotton my insperation. This guy is incredible! Anyway,
This Is going to just be An Out an Back Hyper. Little turns as possible, because they are hard to support and make smooth.

Intersting stuff, I haven't tried modeling coasters with anim8or before.

[Spinout]

^^I love his models, they were so awesome. And he made videos for them, are you?

[fantom]

Wait, I'm lost, I thought anim8or was just for making 3-ds in NL

[TwistedDreams]

^Anim8tor is a free animation program. Does anykind of models, That can be used for scenery in NoLimits.
^^I'm in awe every time I see them. But sadley, there will probably be no videos for this. I will make a train and position it on the track a seperate points, But Make a video will be ridiculously hard and time-consuming.

[Spinout]

That's ok, I just want to see what this will look like.

[coastergeekrtc]

Looks pretty good. I was doing the same thing but with 3ds Max (my dad got it from work). I just couldn't find out how to bend the track after making a piece.

[Tyrant]

3dsmax requires a complety different approach to modeling coasters, thats why.... Also there is something called the Bend Modifery coastergeekrtc...

I have been using Max for about 5 years now.

Well there you go, it works. I still don't have the time for it, maybe over the summer. Thanks.

[TwistedDreams]

Sorry for the small image (stupid photo bucket), but here's the completed lift.


Now I need to put cat walks on it. Do you guys think It should be on left and right? I think I'll only put them on one side...
-TD

[Spinout]

I say put them on the left. Looks really good.

[TwistedDreams]

New stuff:






The supports are perfect. I'm going to add catwalks now... I won't work on the station untill the trains are done.

HELP
I need a LOT of pics of trains like those on Nitro (NitroRyder?), I will use The NoLimits cars to model from and get pics, but I want real car pics.
Thanks to anybody who can get them or find them.
