Nl2 Park Project

This is really looking great! So many subtle touches of realism, I love it!

Looking fantastic!

Oh wow.. that turns better out than i expected! Great stuff! I just love the layout of the park more and more! Also all the details make this park so stunning. It reminds of some of the natural parks, where you don??????t find only thrill .. nicely done.

Wow stunning project! Your wip looks fantastic already my guess is that will be one of the best park in the exchange!!! Keep up the high level of awesomeness!!!

If you having something like this:

...you could use an invisble track to move the custom cars forward

[mkingy]

Haha fantastic idea! Rapids are #1

That was exactly what I was aiming for Magu! If you could help with the scripting for that, although I guess all that I need is the attach object script. I'll be able to model the cars, I'm planning on it having a little bit of theming

[TTD03]

Whoa! Rapids ride? So cool! Nice!

I did a quick model of some rapids cars, and did a quick test in the sim

They aren't actually moving yet, but kinda just proof of concept for the moment

Its going to be western themed, only lightly though. With Mustang next to it I felt it would fit nicely.

Just a small flood inside

Wow! The view is great from the rapids! The only thing is the wood material that maybe goes well with the theme but in real life aren't they made of plastic or metal?

HOLY *&#^%%$* that looks AWESOME!!

Awesome looking Rapid Boahts! I love the wooden theming =)

Yea they are usually afro . I'm probably going to change a few of the textures. I did have to think for a bit about that bit, the wood would probably be fine in water, especially if it was coated with a lacquer . I could always say it is plastic painted like wood

I've also started working on the transfer/maintenance shed for Mustang. Its all western/stable themed, with a big wooden wall that creates a nice little area

Wow that looks INSANE! If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to re-purpose the rapids cars for Roman Rapids when we get to the 1999 and later version of BGW! Apollo's Chariot wouldn't be the same without it, and those look SO AMAZING!

Also I love the maintenance area! However, there are a few unrealistic things about it, so I'm going to send you some shots from inside a B&M invert bay so you can see a bit better how it's set up.

^I'd be more than happy to re-purpose them haha.

Thanks, I could do with some screenshots of an invert bay, that would really help

Damn that rapids ride gives great views!

This will be a really great park.. i just began to drool a bit

For a themed rapids ride,.. i would keep the wooden texture and maybe replacing it with an .nl2mat.. with a reflecting effect. Than it also looks like it "would be plastic". Everybody should see than .. what it is. You could also replace the other textures with reflectiong materials to make them "plastic" and voila.. it??????s done

^Awesome! I've never really messed about with the NLmat editor before, I'll check it out

@Bouncypip11 This park looks so good, I cant even begin to describe how much I want to see the finished product!

When can we expect another update?

^Should be able to get one out soon, I haven't had much time to work on it recently, but I do have a few major things planned

[Coasterkidmwm]

That's really neat. Great job so far.

Update!
I finally got some time to work on this, so did a few things here and there and wanted to share some screenshots!

I continued working on the rapids. I'm considering making the concrete trench in sketchup, so it is nicely textured ect. For now I will just use supports though.

The path up towards the kids area where there will be a couple of junior flat rides along with the junior coaster. Some funky path interaction with Megalodon.

The mack launched, Now called 'Ira' is nearing completion. Just the queue, station and a couple more supports and tweaks to go. It sits near the entrance of the park, and has a very short but powerful launch.

The intamin blitz is still nameless, and still needs a lot of work support wise. The scenery is turning out very nicely though

This is the Junior coaster up in the kids section. I still need to add some little fences to the rocks and the supports need work too.

Finally we draw the update to a close with a shot of Mustang, which still needs a little bit of support tweaking, a station and queue.

This is still far from completion as I have a colossal amount left to do. I'm trying to add as much detail without harming the framerate. You are more than welcome to leave any suggestions/advice

[Paradox]

Put the safety nets on Megalodon. The empty supports for it are bothering my OCD.

^ I was just modelling them. They are just place holders for the moment

[mkingy]

It sort of bothers me how insanely good this looks. Your planning and especially how you are setting the park looks really realistic - not over the top like a lot of heavy 3DS park and rides go for!
