coastercrazys ( chocolate walls update 6 plus future street pack preview pic )

[coastercrazy]

hi guys ive started doing this set and its themed on wax and it will be available soon chocolate walls down the page and my 1st object of my future set street pack this object bus shelter the pictures in this link http://www.MegaShare.com/489667

[delta V]

Its lookin good, only I don't think it would look very good as an extended wall. If you put those next to eachother they would not tile as the texture does not appear to be tileable. (put multiple walls together and see how it looks)

interesting idea.

[elljhitch]

Jeez, how many CS sets do you start?

[wabigbear]

More importantly - how many CS do you finish?

I see a whole lot of threads for different sets started and then after a short time you move onto something else.

[RCT3robin]

Finish an other set before starting a new one, Making 10 sets at a time, Is rather confusing and iritating , then usefull.

[coastercrazy]

ok but ive put others on hold for now and im gonna carry on with this one now

[wabigbear]

Here's a suggestion coastercrazy that you might consider: Just post all your work from now on in just this one thread. Put your questions here and post updates about any of your work. A new thread isn't needed for every question nor for ever set you plan, they can all go in this one.

People are likely to be more willing to help with answers and to comment on your work if you don't have a whole bunch of other threads scattered around. This way it would be nice and neat and not confusing at all.

Hope you'll consider that idea. ;)

The new walls do look like wax! I like the window design, is it an alpha texture or modeled in 3D?

[coastercrazy]

thank you so much wabigbear thats really helpfull ill do that from now on ill put my new set ideas in one thread oh and the window is an alpha texture plus im gonna do other wax textures for this set

[wabigbear]

You're welcome coastercrazy.

Nice job on the window alpha, I really do like the layout of the planes of glass, adds some interest different than if you just made it a bunch of even squares.

[coastercrazy]

my chocolate walls so far http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp110/coastercrazy2008/Shot0064.jpg

[stu-2693]

just make it recolourable :up: saves lots of work ;)

[coastercrazy]

recolourable thats an awesome idea thanks stu

[radio538goeroe]

Recolorable so we can make WHITE chocolate :p

[coastercrazy]

yeah im gonna do other chocolate stuff beside walls

[yesnt]

Those chocolate walls look pretty thick, maybe you should make them thinner. The wax walls look good though :).

[radio538goeroe]

I agree with that and try not to use the same texturd all the time it gets boring.

[coastercrazy]

yeah but with chocolate and wax walls im gonna use different textures and stuff and heres my chocolate bar for scenery http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp110/coastercrazy2008/chocbar.png

[elljhitch]

^ How many poly's does it have?

[coastercrazy]

62 i think

[elljhitch]

I think it has a bit more than 62...

[coastercrazy]

how do i know how many polys it has ?

[Slyther360]

I like chocolate. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/F/0/24p.gif (http://smiley.smileycentral.com/download/talking_preview.jhtml?i=F/0/24&partner=ZSzeb075_ZRxdm690YYUS)http://ak.imgfarm.com/images/smileycentral/imbuddy/hear_me_talk.gif (http://smiley.smileycentral.com/download/talking_preview.jhtml?i=F/0/24&partner=ZRxdm690YYUS)

[coastercrazy]

im gonna have a go at a chocolate waterfall particle effect and do giant gummy bears and stuff like that

[delta V]

when you export to ase it gives you a general idea. A wall normally has around 12 I think,

15 squares * 10 polys each=150, plus whatever the bar is.

That's my guess on polys for that one.

[coastercrazy]

thanks delta v thats really helpful

[RCT3prophet]

:Dyay coastercrazy!:D I love me some Hershey!:nuts::mdr1:
!!UPDATE SOON!!:p

[stu-2693]

i count 208 excluding the top face on the actuall bar, it is probably around the 250 to 300 mark

to find out how many polygons it has, export to ase and it will give you the exact number.

[elljhitch]

i count 208 excluding the top face on the actuall bar, it is probably around the 250 to 300 mark.
That's what I thought.

[coastercrazy]

heres my chocolate cake rooftop http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp110/coastercrazy2008/Shot0066.jpg

[RCT3robin]

The texture looks rushed, Try to fix that.

For the rest,Good. But try to fix the chocolate:up:.

[elljhitch]

Doesn't look too much like chocolate IMHO.

[coastercrazy]

its a chocolate texture so i dont know what u mean by sayin it doesnt look like chocolate !

[RCT3robin]

That doesn't say anything!, If u have a chocolate texture and just place it, It doesn't mean it looks like chocolate! you must use it right

[coastercrazy]

its a chocolate cake texture

[elljhitch]

Doesn't look like chocolate cake either... To be honest, it just looks like cork-board.

[RCT3robin]

^nice.*laughs in fist*

[coastercrazy]

heres the chocolate cake texture http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp110/coastercrazy2008/ist2_1993343-chocolate-cake-texture.jpg

[RCT3robin]

ok,Lets see if it really looks like chocolate ;)

[coastercrazy]

there you go

[elljhitch]

Thats chocolate cake?!?!?! :haha:. Thats just cracked mud... Maybe with some animal faeces in it.

[RCT3robin]

so..

u used this
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1993343/2/istockphoto_1993343_chocolate_cake_texture.jpg
from google and removed the logo :p?

Anyway's , Not to bring u down, But that doesn't really look like a chocolate texture.

Again not to bully u or something,Just to help you.

[coastercrazy]

ok but ill change the texture of the object if u guys want me to then just say ?

[elljhitch]

Yes please, it would make it an awful lot better!

[coastercrazy]

ok sorry guys for rushing and im also new on this site and on sketchup

[elljhitch]

ok sorry guys for rushing and im also new on this site.
You have nearly 200 posts... :bored:.

[coastercrazy]

yeah but i get carried away and i rush things 2 much which end in bad results lol

[elljhitch]

I meant where you said that you were new...

[coastercrazy]

ive been on google looking for textures but most of them arent 512 - 512

[coastercrazy]

im planning to do a custom support set i know ive got loads of threads saying im gonna do this and im gonna do that but i would like to ask u how do i get a piece of coaster track into sketchup because if i dont have the track i might do the supports too big too small and if you know how i can do this then please post your reply oh and please comment on my wax & chocolate set ?

[gamer2456]

you should be carefull on what textures use off google image they have A copyright so try make owen or find free textures site

[stu-2693]

measure it, you cannot (or should i say, you shouldnt, or it is a bad idea) to get models out of rct3.

a good tool to measure is this :
http://tnsworld.byethost13.com/download.php?view.14

a lot of CS making is experementing, not just being happy with the first import, good CS sets make a basic plan (probbaly a couple of cubes stuffed together) and then import it several more times adding textures, then more details and so on, also, a lot of things are common sense, such as placing a 1H wall next to something and seeing how much higher it is or whatever..

[coastercrazy]

thank you so much stu but how do i know what length the track is ?

[stu-2693]

ive been on google looking for textures but most of them arent 512 - 512

resize them then.

also, they do not have to be 512x512, they can be any power of two, such as 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256

[stu-2693]

what do you mean length of track? measure it more? if you mean width then use the tool i gave you, you can measure almost anything.no offence in anyway, but try to find things out for yourself instead of relying on other people to find out/give answers for you ;)

[coastercrazy]

ok but ur the expert lol and what folder shall i zip this tool to ?

[stu-2693]

it is cs, i am sure it probbaly has a description and a readme.

[coastercrazy]

whoa i thought the image size had to be 512 - 512 or 64 - 64 :o

[coastercrazy]

ive installed it but when i put the grid round the track it doesnt tell me any measurements ?

[stu-2693]

you have to work it out. one whole square is 4 units, that means that if it is split into 32 mini segments then the blue liners are 0.125 and the other lines are 1 or 0.5 meters away from eachother. OR as it says in the readme:

This is a set of grids for mesuring objects in RCT-3.
These grids can be place horizontal or vertical and also be placed 0.1 meters apart.
The grids come in opaque and transparent.

Each red line is 1 Meter
Each green line is .5 meters
Each Blue line is .1 Meters

although the blue is 0.125 if i remeber.

this is what i mean about rushing, if you took a few minuites to read the readme then half these questions could be avoided.

[elljhitch]

Yet another thread from coastercrazy...

[coastercrazy]

Yet another thread from coastercrazy...

yeah i know

[wabigbear]

Perhaps you could ask the mods to merge this thread with the other one about wax walls, remember that's what I suggested, keeping EVERYTHING all in one thread.

I know you already know you start too many things, I'm just trying to help you organize things better, it will help you, and it will make other members happier too. ;):up:

[coastercrazy]

ok but how can i ask a mod to do that ?

[FlyingDutchman7]

PM one of them or ask it in your thread, but I don't think they will see the last one faster.

[biogal]

What threads should be merged? Leave a list for me, please.

[coastercrazy]

what does merge mean is it when you move a thread inside another one ?

[elljhitch]

Yes it is...

[coastercrazy]

biogal can you merge this thread inside my wax & chocolate walls thread ? thank you

[biogal]

biogal can you merge this thread inside my wax & chocolate walls thread ? thank you

Merged. :up:

[gameliker9]

[coastercrazy]
