Newton Help

So I'm new with newton and I have a few questions

Do you use newton to create a whole track, or do you make smaller elements??

I've seen newton coasters and they are smooth, but why is it making bumpy coasters with me? Does it have anything to do with the transitions?

Does anybody have the friction values for the coasters? Where can I get them?

And finally, what's with the transitions? In the PDF it said not to use the basic or special transitions, why is that?

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm just as lost in using newton as you are & could really use a picture based tutorial for it,along with AHG because I havn't a clue on how to really use either one.

^Actually I found the AHG pretty easy to use, you just have to read the readme and play with it for a while, because if you don't know how to use it, it can make really crappy tracks

Someone needs to make a Newton guide.

 

But nobody will. So good luck

Ok, I'm going to answer your questions.

 

1. Use Newton to create full tracks. Exclude the lift lead in to the first drop and final breaks and station though because you can't really make them with newton.

 

2. It does have to do with the settings. Change some settings.

 

A. change Euler to Quaterion (or something like that)

B. Change Basic (bernstein) to Basic (quintic)

 

3. I really don't bother with friction

 

4. stick with basic for now.

^Thanks a lot, I've figured that when you use the same transition, the bumpiness disappears. And as you said, I'll stick with the basics right now, and keep experimenting.

Thanks again!!
