I'm in (obviously)

[Vicarious Chair]

Single Round? I'll do it, then.

[biZarRo]

Bring it on.

[Nessie]

Why not? Dibs.

[Tyler Carlton]

Count me in.

[Kevin Dice]

Only 1 day left! Sign up now!

[Kevin Dice]

Play begins now.

Rules:

• Physical ride track must be at least 600feet.
• It must be apparent that you spent more than 3 hours on you entry.
• The ride should be in some way, shape or form Halloween / Autumn themed.
• Entries must be turned in to the DE by midnight of October 31st.
• The ride should be survivable and enjoyable to the general public.

Suggestions:

• Keep pre-fab supports to a minimum.
• 3ds objects are HIGHLY recommended.
• Creating a custom environment is recommended.
• Tera-forming is recommended buy not required.
• Keep the (3ds) fog to a minimum. It slows down the computer like nothing else. (Note: Fog from the environment is just fine.)
• Don't start your coaster when there are only 3 days left.

When the coasters are turned in, I will certainly take into consideration if a track was hand built, newton'ed, ect. .....or stolen from another track.
And with that, have fun and good luck designing!

The lift. You can see that lift supports are started.



A really close near-hit.

Raptor and Nessie, could you guys post something so that I know you remembered this contest?

[Tyler Carlton]

That's all I've got for now. I had an organic chem exam last week and I have a calc II exam tomorrow so I've been short on time. Also, I've been too lazy to walk downtown and buy a new mouse, but with my fall break coming up I should be able to get some work done on it.

[Kevin Dice]

^Very Nice.

[Nessie]

I'm going to have to drop out, becuase with my current responsibilities and homework load, I don't think I can make one of any kind of quality in time.

Sorry. It was worth a shot.

[Vicarious Chair]

ppshhh. Scared.

[Tyler Carlton]

A project update is in my thread. Future updates will be in there as well.

[Kevin Dice]

10 days left. Hope everyone's started by now.

[biZarRo]

What's happening!!!

Im positive the gates have the same texture.

[Kevin Dice]

That happens sometimes when two faces of different 3d objects intersect....or are on the same plane. I'd suggest moving one of the two objects a little so that the two faces don't intersect.

[Vicarious Chair]

or just make the rails smaller and poles larger; then you won't get the two-face effect.

[CPF]

Well, hard as I try, the layout I have worked with up until now is bad, and I know it. I am going to drop out, due to being busy and the fact that I hate the layout of my coaster. Sorry, everyone! Have fun!

[Vicarious Chair]

Booooo.

[CPF]

Booooo.

>:-P

[Nessie]

Have no fear; I've put together a layout and terraformed it and will begin on 3ds and supports as soon as I figure out a way to import a track into a 3ds maker...help?

I can rejoin...right?

I'm gonna go ahead and say yes so X-car doesn't have to

Nessie, you can only import if you have a GOOD 3ds maker. What do you have?
