The "Other Projects" Preview Thread

[A.J.]

Hey guys!

 

So, this Preview Thread should be used for projects that aren't made in the RCTs or NoLimits. So, basically, use this thread if you have a K'nex project or physical model, Inventor or other straight CAD project, a project in another creative game like Minecraft, or something else entirely.

 

For example, here's a project I'm working on to get me back into Inventor -

I once made a working KMG Move-It 24 style ride in ProEngineer. It was not detailed at all, just block shapes as my main focus was making it work. I had a lot of fun though.

I was just thinking, there should be a thread like this.

 

This is my idea of how you should enter Gatekeepers line. The rough dimensions are 20ft wide by 14ft tall.

 

Also here is my idea for a Gemini sign if the ever gave the ride one

 

neither project is done

Waterslide incoming!

^What program did you use to create that?

[A.J.]

I used Inventor to make the slide panels, supports, pool, and platform. I exported it as an AutoCAD DWG and then imported the DWG into Maya. From there, I built an environment around it and assigned textures properly.

Did you make the slide panels individually or is there a way to warp them to a specific size and shape?

Looking for a "more intuitive" alternative to Maya for general modeling purposes...

 

...not at all motivated by a certain sandbox-style theme park video game releasing in the next few months...

Balloon Race!

Was messing around with Solid Edge and made a dark ride vehicle and some mat slides, not terrible for a first try.
