  1. Hello! I believe that's actually me you're referring to. It's been a while since I've logged on these forums so I don't know what's allowed here, but I will say this. The tactics you guys use to advertise this game, in my opinion, are really unnerving. Please stand by your game for what it is, and if it's good, people will come! I simply find it hard to recommend this to my friends with all these strange tactics being disposed. Perhaps some openness in that regard can help you out. Me and many others would like to see TPS succeed! More competition in the market is never a bad thing, and I do believe Pantera has some ideas to bring to the genre. I still keep an eye out for progress on this title.
  2. The popular series returns with the debut of NoLimits 2. Here's a compilation of what people have accomplished in just one year! I worked hard on the video and I hope you all enjoy it.

  3. The handhelds for me started with NL1. Back then there were no options for offride footage that you could control. In NL2, there's more options, but the ones I want to use are currently being looked at by the team. The first half of the video makes use of handhelds while the second half was supposed to use lots more scripted cameras. The issue is that attaching a target object to a train resulted in weird jitters - the team isn't sure of what causes it. I was going to have lots of flying tracks with attached cameras that target the train, but unfortunately this could not happen. Therefore I had to sub in more handhelds in the 2nd half. None of the handhelds are keyframed except for a few zooms - most are meant to be obvious but some are hidden. They are all done by hand on a very low-end laptop with no dedicated graphics card (me), so there are various mouse input FPS lags/drops that I have to account for while shooting and smoothing afterward using stabilizers. While recording, it can take up to a minute to record a small 10-second clip, so my mouse movements have to be very microbial, follow the same path, and be consistent (the hardest part, by far). It takes a bit of a surgical hand and a very clean desk surface to do these sub-millimeter movements over the course of a minute. When there's mistakes, you can notice them as rough edges of panning (typically seen at the end of some clips), so I think this is where you think some are "keyframed" when they actually aren't. I also think that's where you feel like they're "a different FPS" in some clips: mouse FPS =/= screen FPS, which is a huge challenge to deal with. I also record in 720p because I don't have a big enough monitor, so this creates artifacts in my footage that I have to deal with but I have no other choice. Some turn out good and some are just okay - but I don't mind the character in my clips, so I choose what has the best content. There's lots of challenges I deal with when I make video because nothing I do is suited for it. I totally love it though.
  4. Spent a week making this video for an upcoming project from Kyle Sloane - "Heretic".
  5. Thanks, I bet you liked seeing a couple of your rides in there. NOTE: The Vol 1 Pack you guys originally downloaded does not have Thunderhead Falls' track file. It has the Package, which includes everything but the track. Re-download the pack if you want the updated version that contains the track file.
  6. Thanks! I spent a lot of time on it and it's nice to see that it's payed off.
  7. EDIT: Somehow, this video was blocked in every single country in the world. I am currently disputing the copyright claim in hopes of getting this video back online for good, not just temporarily. When the person managing the downloads (L Bosch) gets the server online, everyone will be able to download it directly as well. The third and final installment of the mini-series "This is NoLimits" displays the community's passion for creating beautiful and detailed coasters, real or fantasy. No matter how good the build technique or how fast and intense the ride is, there is always something special about a really great-looking, unique coaster that really utilizes the name of the game.

  8. The second installment, "Adrenaline Rush" displays the community's creations of great speed, g-force, pace, and excitement. The coasters featured in this video are just a tiny fraction of the vast number of lightning-quick rides that have been created over the past decade.
  9. ^It wasn't really designed as an Arrow coaster. I just used the track and train style because of the low-slung heartline and the outward track ties which allow the cars to sit very low. Those attributes allow you to get shorter height clearances and less distorted heartline shapes to let you roll more coaxially (see TOGO Heartline Twister).
  10. I guess I did use them in ways that look like light leaks. I guess that's what everyone's calling lens flares. Lens flares are something else entirely though. Perhaps people are just thinking of lighting effects or "bloom" or "sun rays" etc. I'll probably have less color spills in my next video seeing that it will be more fast-paced. For the third video I'm still not sure, though I do have a surprise thought out for the last video that I'd like to get "permission" to include.
  11. I guess the song had some inspiration factor as well. The album cover (and name) inspired the ride's visual presence. (Look up "Chilly Gonzales Ivory Tower" in Google image search and you'll see the album art.) I wanted the support and ride structure to look very similar to that cover. The colors are similar as well, there's that too lol. I wasn't for sure whether I was going to use the song or not, but I thought it fitting because it was playful and quirky just like the ride. I guess in the end, things came full circle!
  12. ^They aren't lens flares - they're just washed out colors that I splashed over screen layers. I wanted a bit of a "pastel" feel to it to emphasize the creativity of the creations on there. Sounds stupid but that was the idea. I figured some people may not have liked the custom "effect" (if you call it that) but I went with it anyway. Most people seemed to like it though so that's at least good lol.
  13. Hello everyone, NoLimits 2 is slated for release "before Christmas" this year. There couldn't be a better time to recount on some of the amazing creations the NoLimits community has seen over the past 13 years of the program's lifetime. Design and culture of the community has drastically changed since its dawn in 2001. To wrap up the experience, I've started a three-part YouTube mini-series entitled "This is NoLimits", featuring a "creative collective" of rides big and small in a presentation. The idea is that this series will show someone who hasn't been involved in NoLimits get the gist of everything that it encompasses - technical quality, speed & fun, and artistic value. This first installment, "Technical Details" displays the community's fascination with detail in track, supports, pace, and ride dynamics. The coasters featured in this video are just a tiny fraction of the vast number of excellently detailed rides that have been created over the past decade. The ability to make anything possible, big or small, is one of the great parts about NoLimits and its community. The second installment, "Adrenaline Rush" displays the community's creations of great speed, g-force, pace, and excitement. The coasters featured in this video are just a tiny fraction of the vast number of lightning-quick rides that have been created over the past decade.
