^The hills/cork looks a bit out of shape to me, but other than that, it looks really good!

The only thing that REALLY bothers me is the supports... :lol:

Awsome colours on thoos trains!
The track looks really smooth, and realistic from what i can see. Looking good.
 
Pokemaniac, I think that the terrain isn't all similar to the one where Speed monster is, it should be more of a hill, the big turn around looks almost flat in your case. You need to make the Norwegian loop more circular, and be sure to have 0g at the top (both sides) and about 5g at the bottom. First s-hill looks good but not the second.

I have added 200+ segments to my clothoid today and at the moment it looks pretty good.

Insane - looking great

Leofet - looking great :? How exactly are you plotting the Clothoid?
 
Got a friend to calculate a list of 1000 x,y coordinates of a clothoid with matlab and now I'm adding them one at a time to a 3d object.

To make your own then use > clothoid.txt
 
loefet,

You keep on doing this stuff with wings 3d, then you'll go mad! 1000 x/y coordinates? Sounds like fun to me.

Anyhoo. I decided that my itch was long overdue for a scratch:

Any guesses?



I think Captain Obvious just joined us here! :shock:

Mad?, no, a clothoid is something I want to have and this is the only way (that I know).
Fun?, maybe not, but my fingers start to go numb after 250 values. :--D
If you think is fun then why not do it yourself, I have added the coordinates in the post above.

This isn't the most crazy stuff I have done though, folding 300+ paper cranes in one go was worse, or just take a look at my NL coaster "Purple Interstate" each support structure took about 6-8+ hours to make.
 
Have you seen the supports, so you know what your talking about?

If not, look at this one > http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/l ... oefet6.jpg
And that's just one of them, totally freehanded.


Anyway I have finished my clothoid now and it looks great.

I have now made:
3 kinds of clothoids
2 parabola shapes (both have a full arc and just the top part)
A circle
An Arcimedeian spiral
A normal Spiral

If there is any other shape anyone need let me know and I will try and make it before release this weekend.
 
Well I find it easy, here are just some names for woodies I've just thought of: 'Rumble', 'Earthquake' and 'Smasher'.

I find it very easy.
 
Some more teasers from my Giant Eurofighter.

^ Note the random support ;)

The whole ride from another angle.
