The first five inversions are done...

 

[Error]

Awesome, can't wait to see more.

 

[Hixee]

Kinda reminds me of Dragon Khan.

Looking quite nice actually. What sort of coaster is it?

 

[Xpress]

^Well, it's obviously a B&M. My guess is, floorless?

Nice layout, sofar.

 

[Antinos]

^Yep, it's a floorless. To be honest, I'm only going with floorless for aesthetics. As for the layout, I want a lot of inversions, but I don't want too generic of a layout, like Led Zeppelin. So far, this is working. I just need to come up with a good second half.

 

[Hixee]

^Well, it's obviously a B&M. My guess is, floorless?

I'd figured as much. I meant style. Duh!

 

[nemesisnutter]

It is looking good!

Perhaps an overbank could be inlcuded in the second half. I've always liked Saw's overbank and I think it would work well on a B&M floorless...

 

[Antinos]

I've been looking for ways to make the layout more flowing after the 0-g roll and I've finally found something that flows nicely. It even includes an overbanked turn in the second half.

New screenshot, with color!

The red is darker now and the train colors are a bit different. I also completed the layout. Time to support!

I'm not a big fan of the colours, I must say. I do like the layout from what I've seen so far though.

I do love a good B&M.

 

[Hixee]

Colours = No.

Apart from that, it's looking quite nice I have to admit. I think the first drop looks a little drawn out, but the rest of the layout (that I can see) looks nice.

 

[Xpress]

Colours = No.

+1. A lighter green or blue might go well with that main track color, but no red/green.

Also, layout looks awesome.

 

[nemesisnutter]

I am liking that over-bank a lot!
The rest of the layout is looking very smooth as well!

Not so keen on the colours though, I like the sound of those alternative colors Xpress! Perhaps you could give them a try rollerdude...

 

[jokerman]

I like the look of the layout. The interaction between different parts of the track looks fantastic. As long the the change of colours you mentioned looks good then it should be a pretty good ride.

 

[Antinos]

I've had quite a busy week, but I finally found time to work on this a bit more. I changed the colors, and I really like the train colors. I'm not sure about the track though. Any suggestions?

Also, any tips for smoothing out a 0-g roll? I have a ton of nodes in it already and it's almost perfectly heartlined and has been ctrl+g'd a lot.

 

[Xpress]

^That zero-g-roll looks really wonky. Hit me up on MSN sometime and I can show you how to smooth those suckers out

 

[Antinos]

^The 0-g roll looks strange because of the angle. It's just...pumpy...

I changed the colors again. I like this a lot better, but I'm still not sure...Any suggestions?

 

[Xpress]

^I like those colors actually. And I still think the zero-g-roll looks odd, even from that angle.

 

[Hixee]

No thanks. I don't like the colours at all.

I think it looks too... childish. It would work if it was all that sandy brown or all turquoise, but the way you got it now just makes it look tacky.

 

[Antinos]

I found a good color combo, so colors are now final. I made the blue darker and the brown a more gold color, and it came out looking nicely:

I only have a few more supports to draw, and then I can add more trees and some water. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow.
