[Jonnyears]

These are brilliant- they will make the game look
so much more realistic!

Everyone will find a use for them

Looking forward to the next update!

[Toddthefox]

Thanks J-playa this will add even more detail to my coasters and parks :)
could you make some wires and telephone lines :up:

[J-Playa]

Jonnyears- Thanks for your comment matey :D Update very soon...

Toddthefox- Thanks for your comment too. :up: I'll keep your idea's in mind!

Stay Tuned

[Belgabor]

You definitely need to learn to unweld. It doesn't matter that much for your boats, but for walled or technical things welded objects won't do.

[J-Playa]

Belgabor- How do i do this...

[Rtoups]

There is a tutorial in Belgadors Page. I think if you click Facts And Figures in his sig.

[Halo3player]

cool! this is going to make my coaster more realistic! nice work.

[J-Playa]

Rtoups- Thanks for that, i have found it.

Halo3player- Thanks. :D

Stay Tuned

[Belgabor]

Belgabor- How do i do this...

If I remember correctly, CoasterSim.Fan explained it for Anim8or in your boat thread.

[J-Playa]

Belgabor- Nope, it is not in my 'boat' thread. Do i have to Un-Weld.

[rctmaniac]

looks very good-looking forward to more J...

[J-Playa]

rctmaniac- Thanks, more will come very soon... :up:

[Jonnyears]

I'm looking forward to an update, these are simply amazing

[Belgabor]

Belgabor- Nope, it is not in my 'boat' thread. Do i have to Un-Weld.

I was sure he posted it somewhere recently. Whatever, I found this old post (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=543763&highlight=unweld) where he explains it.
You still should read my facts&figures page to understand what it is and why it is necessary ;)

[J-Playa]

Jonnyears- Thanks :up:

Belgabor- I followed his tutorial. Select all 'points' on my model. The 'edit, loop cut'. Then select my whole model and select 'Join Solids'. I cant through? It is not high-lighted for me to press...

[Jonnyears]

What have you got planned next for this set

Keep up the good work!

[J-Playa]

Jonnyears- Thanks, it's a suprise ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments welcome.

More to come tomorrow, so stay tuned everyone :D

[Jonnyears]

WOW

This is spectacular

[J-Playa]

Jonnyears- Thank you very much! :D

[rctmaniac]

@ J-Playa: very good work, very useful additions this shall be :)

what prog do you use?

[Jonnyears]

J-Playa uses Anim8or

Sorry for answering that for you!

[J-Playa]

rctmaniac- I use Anim8or :up: Thanks for your comment.

Jonnyears- It's ok :D

[Belgabor]

Belgabor- I followed his tutorial. Select all 'points' on my model. The 'edit, loop cut'. Then select my whole model and select 'Join Solids'. I cant through? It is not high-lighted for me to press...

Unwelding works differently in anim8tor, so what you did doesn't work. It is not a "real" unweld function in the sense of the first paragraph of my explanation.
I haven't tested it, but the name implies that the function is supposed to be used on individual faces. It cuts out your selection from the rest of the object, essentially unwelding all the edges of the face(s) you selected.

[CoasterSim.Fan]

In anim8or it basically works by cuting each face and making it its own mesh.

You can try it by taking a single mesh and after a loop cut in the mesh list each face has its own mesh and also if you move a face after loop cut the rest of the modal wont move with it. So to not have a mesh for each face in the importer you have to join them back together.

If its the going back together that's confusing you make sure you go back to object edit mode not point edit mode to join solids.

If your using multiple mesh objects and want some types for them let me know.

[rideslover]

awesome! J-Playa.

I like it as generator.

[Old-Spice]

looks awesome man. this will be a great set, do you think that you could make a couple of generators that are for the roof? that wat we can start to aircondition our buildings. thx

[rideslover]

is that Diesel Generator look like big one?

[vilate]

Looking cool!

[bim42]

This looks awsome! Is that fan actually spinning?

[msdavis13man]

Are you gonna make outlets (That sounded VERY odd)? It'll make our parks a lot more realistic.

[Halo3player]

looking good j-playa!

[J-Playa]

Belgabor- Thanks for that explantion matey!

CoasterSim.Fan- Thanks for that mini tutorial. :up:

rideslover- Thank you, stay tuned!

Old-Spice- Thanks so much, i'll keep your idea in mind ;)

vilate- Thanks matey!

bim42- Thanks, but the fan doesnt move unfortunately.

msdavis13man- I'll keep that in mind :up:

Halo3player- Thanks!

Thank you all for your amazing comments!
Update Very Soon...

[Obi_Wan_Cannoli]

Looks nice, but like brought out, you need to get the unwelding under control....question...how do you texture with anim8r? I thought it didn't support textures...

[J-Playa]

obi-wan-cannoli- Thanks for your comment. You can texture on Anim8or. Just click the texture icon which is like 6 circles. Then click new. Diffuse and then add texture. Then you choose your texture and apply. It's easy :up:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone, i have a little update. Its nothing big just a simple Green Power Box. It has '3' small vents at the bottom on either side. Here is a shot of it. Enjoy! :D

AMAZING

I love the underwater fan and the turbines best
I'm really looking forward to the next update

[osudenny]

Coming along very nicely.

[J-Playa]

Jonnyears- Thank you ;)

osudenny- Thanks

[Toddthefox]

WOW a underwater fan technology is amazing :haha:
great update :up:

[J-Playa]

Toddthefox- Thanks :haha:

[-Drop Zone-]

Looks Great! How about a wall mounted power box!

[J-Playa]

rctlilman- Thanks, i'll keep that idea in mind :up:

[-Nuclear Fish-]

I'm already thinking up dozens of uses for this set, but you really need to sort the welding out like everybody is saying.

It's a shame the faans and wind turbines aren't animated, because I suppose you could do it with animated textures or something, but I'm guessing you have no idea how to do that. But whenever I see wind turbines they aren't moving anyway cause there's no wind, so I don't suppose it matters... I do, however, have a small suggestion.

Could you possibly make variations of the wind turbine with the fan blade thingies at different agles? It would look more realistic as they wouldn't all be in the same position. Just one or two more versions would be great. And, if it isn't too much trouble, could we have them in diagonal too?

[Albert Caine]

A lot of this stuff is very usefull. Thanks for making it.

[J-Playa]

-NuclearFish- Thanks for your comment, and yes. I must sort out the welding. Obi_Wan_Cannoli is helping me on that at the moment. I shall see what i can do with your request. :D

jorgetheviking- Thanks, i thought everyone would like a set like this :)

[rideslover]

good work! how about high voltage service box next to ride as Scrambler, Tilt-A-Whirl and Bumper Cars?

[J-Playa]

rideslover- Thanks, i'll keep your idea in mind matey :noob:

[Toddthefox]

Are the wind turbines different sizes?
When do you think you will release :confused:

[J-Playa]

Toddthefox- Yes is shall soon, but i dont know when it will be released. :up:



CS ON HOLD---

[zmanatr]

These look amazing! :eek: Just wondering though, are they going to be animated?

[TECHNOFIRESHOW1]

wow ! looks great that underwater piece gives me a great idea for a track :D
