Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Cool!! I'll have to try these out. Though I am fakking around with Red & Buster's FVDs... (Not as bad as you think...still pretty bad though! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccoaster Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 How do you circle build? I don't quite understand how people do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 You use the 3d objects to make perfect circular helices without pumps, or parabolic hills for perfect air, etc. It's just a way to make perfect shapes without having to use a tool to make it for you.

Angry_Gumball Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've used these before, but I'll download it again as I could use some help for making circular loops and stuff. I'm a hand builder and have no intentions of using formulas to create my track...takes all the fun away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've used these before,No you haven't, since I made them last week, and my pack includes stuff that have never been available before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd...Well, I never mentioned who's 3ds shapes I've used, but I had some a while back. They called it a 'pump remover' which consisted of just circles.

Loefet Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 ^ It works for me. Odd...Well, I never mentioned who's 3ds shapes I've used, but I had some a while back. They called it a 'pump remover' which consisted of just circles.I have also used those, but decided to do my own since I need higher resolution objects, to make better tracks.

Real Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 You use the 3d objects to make perfect circular helices without pumps, or parabolic hills for perfect air, etc. It's just a way to make perfect shapes without having to use a tool to make it for you. In effect, this is a tool, isnt it? Something it showing you what to do. Not a bad thing, just another tool to add to your arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The clothoid shape should be really helpful for me. Thank you for making these objects, aka "tools". A suggestion for the future is that you could make a cycloid shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Has anyone got any screenshots of these "tools" in action? I wouldn't mind seeing some before downloading the file & risking an error occuring with my copy of NL,much like the one that happened with RCT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 ^Don't worry about it. They are just scenery files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
