Rampart - Indoor 4D coaster

[BorisTheFish]

A major project for me - an indoor 4D coaster. I have the coaster done, but no shots of it at the moment, just shots of the castle it resides within from the building editor. Took about 1 1/2 hrs to build the castle, then another 1/2 hr to build the ride, i have a video on the way showing off the ride in all its twisted glory. I'd like to say thanks to Pumper, cos his misinterpretation if my valley castle scenario gave me this idea.

The first few shots are of construction.

these two shots show the finished castle one aerial and the other showing the castle at night, cos it looks cooler at night.

POV video coming soon

Funny how things turn out! :haha:

Hey, it's already looking hot-- this should be great when it's finished, and 4D's are already disorienting outdoors, so it should be quite interesting indoors.

Great name by the way.

The Video (http://rapidshare.de/files-en/544436/RAMPARTPOV.wmv.html)

this is just a quick POV while i work on "the project" regarding the ride, which is probably gonna involve a name change. Also, i need to finish off the interior and theme some more of the outside of the building.

The project is a mini movie of the ride, which at the moment is at 5mins long, without even mentioning/viewing the ride, or even showing any RCT3 footage, but hopefully it'll turn out alright.

But for now, have the video.

The castle architecture looks really fantastic from the outside :up: :up:

^What he said^ :D:up::up:

[ElBlufer]

a little bit too much flipping....

I envy you people. I can't build anything good to save my life.

The last shot of the castle at night is awesome! Try placing some Snake Lamps inside to cast some moody light through those windows. Throw in some trees and such around the outside, (how about a moat with a drawbridge?), and you've got an excellent start.

Great job!

[BorisTheFish]

I would love to illuminate the castle windows, but the castle set i used was the spooky one, meaning the windows are just textures on a wall.

However, all is not lost, i have built snake light either end of the bridge, and on 6 of the 12 turrets. Also, i have done a moat, and a drawbridge (kinda).

Some screens showing the latest.
