"ABOUT THE BETA RELEASE"
Around the second week of October 2009 I will be choosing 5 people on the boards like I do every year with my projects who will have the chance to experience the park before everyone else. All you have to do is send me a private message telling me why you should recieve the beta release....this will include the Park,CTR, Etc. After reading the responses I will decide who will get the downloads. The winners will be announced on the boards. Everyone else will have to wait for the "OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE 10/31/09"

I need a quick favor if anyone has any good looking photo's of the Jimmy Neutron Building....I need to try to make the decals for the building....also if u have photo's of where the entrances are on the building...get back to me so I can get it done :) As for the poly's there are really good right now.... the building is very low in poly this is due to the signage is a seperate piece and is in 3d. As for the Mummy piece it's pretty good as well. I will make the build seperately. see ya later hopefully with an update on what I am working on :)

I win.
Haha, nah you need to sort out some of the scaling issues i see, look at your model and a reference pic side by side and see where It differs and it'll look much better :up:
And on the Mummy facade, last time i checked it wasn't as flat as that =P
Try actually modelling it out instead of having just a flat plane with a texture of the facade on.

Will do thanks USF_geek...Long time no see...it's been forever good to see your still around bro. Actually you were the real inspiration for this project as I mentioned in the first post. Thanks for the sign of approval...lol. I will fix it up. I am working on a few things then I will go back and resize it :)
But before I go here is something to sink your teeth into....
http://i40.tinypic.com/mud36h.jpg
Here is the cue section of the attraction as you enter the ride.... I need to get more of an idea what's in this location so I can spice this up....but here is the general idea of what is going on right now....
http://i39.tinypic.com/b8ta1.jpg
All is going well... I am still having trouble trying to find some good photo's to make decals for the side of the building :( I think that is one thing holding me back at the moment.
If anyone has any good photo's of the Men In Black Building in full please send them in....I am looking to begin that project soon.....
Also I want to make a proposition to anyone who knows how to make flat ride and has the experience only please apply. I am looking for someone to maybe help out with creating a special motion simulator just for the inside of this ride to go with the CS pack if interested please contact me....please do not contact me if you have no experience at all.... I will be happy to help model the simulator as the person will need to animate it. By helping with the project I will release the project early to the person who helps with what is needed. Everyone else will have to wait for release.

http://i42.tinypic.com/v4tgf5.jpg
Here is the new Universal sign outside on City Walk...there was not many reference pics so I did my best and I think it turned out well....
http://i42.tinypic.com/2moux5u.jpg
An added addition to the CS Pack is the Universal Mardigras Sign that hangs inside the arch in the entrance of the park.
http://i43.tinypic.com/1zleo8w.jpg
I have begun work on the Universal Globe Base...this will be in 2 pieces...the first piece will be the globe and the second will be the base. As you see I am making progress.....
Also here is something alittle special I am sure everyone will get a kick out of... here is the Blue Man Group Building I am still working on it.... take a look.
http://i40.tinypic.com/whl7af.jpg
also here is something extra for u to enjoy as well..here are the BMG signs......

Without giving way too much away.... here is the last photo....you will have to wait for the rest of this attraction when it's fully complete and in game.....
You know I was thinking recently while making this set for Universal Orlando.... I was wondering since CFR, CTR, CS, etc is possible...I had a thought of would it maybe one day be possible to maybe Edit in game characters to make them fall into place for such a stage show as "Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue"??? Hmmmm something to think about huh??? See ya soon with more....don't forget to leave comments as well don't forget to check out my Universal Studio's Orlando 2.0 Park!!!!

Amity Are You There???? Early preview of the Amity Boat Tour for the "Jaws Ride". I think it turned out well...it would be cool if someone would take on the challenge and turn this into a boat/track ride to have in game......any volunteers???? If not I will still put it in game and just keep it docked. Also I created another version already that will be the sinking version of the ride..... anyways moving on......
http://i42.tinypic.com/1zbb7lf.jpg
I know many people like to take photo's while in their parks...I thought I would spice it up a bit and give people backdrops to take ur photo's while in the park...so here is what I put together. It's one of many photo's spots to come where you will have your chance to take photo's.....I will work on one for curtain attractions as well...so gives you something to look forward too :) anyways, that's all for now see ya soon!!!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to come by and let everyone know I won't be around this weekend so you won't be seeing anymore updates till maybe Monday. I am going away to take a trip up to Orlando which is only 30 minutes away from me.... so I am gonna take a mini-vacation with the girl I will try to get some of my own snap shots if I can. But I don't wanna leave anyone hang'n so before I go here is the brand new "Beetlejuice Entrance" which is in front of the attraction.
http://i44.tinypic.com/2vnmolx.jpg
I will put it in game for everyone to see in a few days....also if anyone has any photo's of the "Cast" full body shots please post them here so I can get them in game and put on stage :) that's all for now everyone I will be back sometime on Sunday....depends on how I feel I may get back to working....otherwise I will continue on Monday. Thanks everyone for the great comments. Feel free to send in any photo's from Universal Orlando and I may be able to work with them no matter what they are. Yes, I have looked for photo's online and not many good ones at all....I was lucky to have a few good shots when I went last year. See ya soon my friend!!!!

Hey everyone today's update is gonna be short cuz I have alot of work to do on the CS. I ran into some problems with the textures but then I figured it out and fixed the problem. Anyways, here is the updated version of the Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue remodeled version.
http://i39.tinypic.com/257jdae.jpg
as you can see if you look at the old model a few things have been changed such as the pilars, textures along with a few other things.
http://i39.tinypic.com/etguhc.jpg
Here is the newly added Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue Sign that hangs outside the attraction......
tomorrow I will begin work on some new CS for Jaws and a few other suprises....so keep an eye out for what's to come.

Hey everyone I am back again....today I did some work on 2 new pieces of CS for the park... Here is what I did thus far...things may change but this is what I came up with. so far. Let me know what you think....
http://i39.tinypic.com/mviz4x.jpg
Here is the flower holder in front of the building...all you have to do is add you flowers :)
http://i41.tinypic.com/2vv2bs8.jpg
here is one of a 2 piece to the "A Lucy Tribute" CS pieces...one will be the inner building which will be a whole lot smaller scale. And the 2nd piece will be be the building itself just to help cut down on poly's. So above is the photo from inside the building....
http://i42.tinypic.com/m7mvt.jpg
A bit of a wider shot.... off to the left is the display cases which you can put whatever you want in it.....and off to the right you will see the tv set, etc. As soon as I get this in game and all set up I am sure everyone will enjoy it very much.
Well it's back to work for me I need to work on the building itself....so I will be back soon with more...till then keep the idea's coming. If anyone has any photo's off the ticket windows from the entrance of the park please send those to me or post them here....I need the ticket building along with the entrance gate....so if anyone has photo's of that please send it in so I can begin work on that. Thanks and see ya soon!!!

Thanks for posting RCT3 Ride Maker I can now give another update.....today I will show you all a very early preview of the "Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket" loading station. It is a very early preview. I am working from photo's I found on google. I have not seen it in person yet. Again I am working from photo's.....I am sure I am missing stuff.... but here is a very early preview of what I have done so far...
http://i44.tinypic.com/2vb7q5h.jpg
I still have to add alot to this....like the spikes on top of the roof of the station. I def need some real textures from the ride so if anyone is heading up to Universal please send in photo's or if anyone is good at textures for this ride please contact me....for your help when the set is ready or if I need to beta test it the person who helps me will get the set first before anyone else......so please contact me.
http://i44.tinypic.com/10ggyzk.jpg
here is the loading station with spikes... I may take out the middle track piece being that we have that with the coaster already..... as you can see I have alot to do...so it will be a busy week for me.
http://i42.tinypic.com/2q3c5k5.jpg
I was doing some research on the ride and I noticed there is alittle cue building with storage house where the extra coasters go.... so that is what you see off to the right....once I get better photo's I will rework it. As you can also see I began to add the stair well to the lower left hand corner... So this may take alittle while to get just right but as long as everyone see's this is surely making it into the cs for my park.... I am happy to announce though that "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" station will come in 2 seperate pieces..more details on that soon.
Well that's all for now back to work on some more research for this ride. So I guess I will see ya soon!!!

Hopefully today's update will make your jaws drop....I actually can't wait till it's all done. But enough about that....last night I was up till 3am working on more cs for this project....with some newly additions to the "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" if you look closely at the photo's I am showing today you will see what I added thus far....so let's not waste anymore time let's take a look :)
http://i42.tinypic.com/qxp3qw.jpg
As I mentioned in the last update this will be in a few pieces....if you look closely you can see the changes I made with this.

here is another view I think it's turning out well.....but that's not all wait till you see what's coming next......
http://i39.tinypic.com/16h9apf.jpg
Lastly here is a shot of the "Hollywood Rip Ride Tower" I created the textures myself since noone got back to me on helping me out with it....so I got creative. I know it's not 100% correct but I came close and I think it turned out well too. Anyways, that's all for now I am gonna work on a few other things....I hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend.

Hey everyone.... I hope you all had a great 4rth of July weekend. I am rested up and last night I finally had the chance to go in and update the "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" Tower...changed it up a bit. I think it looks alot better then the first one and I hope you all think so as well. Here is the new version....it's very low poly
http://i32.tinypic.com/2a9azkp.jpg
if you compare both versions new and old u will see the difference....

Finally the rings have made it to the tower.... I think it looks pretty dang good. The tower is simple but I think it does it's job. I don't wanna over do it and have our parks lag....so I want to make sure it's good enough to run in those low running computers.
http://i26.tinypic.com/27y9ud.jpg

Have you fallen off your rocker? I'm pretty sure you have. This is absolutely absurd. NOBODY CARES that you made a concert stage facade, and now djfriktion is making another. His is much different, and his IS A RECREATION of an existing concert stage! Hello? Mcfly? Anybody home? If anything, your BOTH copying ideas, and there is nothing wrong with this. This is the second time you try and pull this crap, (I believe it was with Lonewolf) and it's not fair. You ran him away from making CFRs, and then closed your UCEP from Atari. Just go back to your personally RCT website, and stop harassing people trying to further RCT3 development in the community.
(Maybe I just blew my top, I apologize, but it's not fair what Marco is trying to say, and I do NOT want djfriktion to give up this project because ONE person says he's copying his idea, (which isn't even true). My bad for posting this, but it needs to be said...)
EDIT: By the way, Marco, the REAL concert stage in Universal was around before BOTH your sets, so, you are the copycat, not djfriktion. Besides, he is stating his is a recreation, yours just looks VERY similar, and yet you call it your OWN idea...psh.

bye Bye Atari
Here I will finally present nothing more. One fools it, and others copy. But all the same. I say to it nothing more.
Bye bye Atari...
The copiers live.....
Marco, I'm not trying to offend you, but the way you present your work as if it's so much more superior to everyone else's, and you think that since you are making an "official" "unofficial" UCEP that you have any sort of authority over anyone else haha. I think it's really childish for you to leave, but whatever, we'll survive...

Just a quick question to those on the board..... since I am working on the Universal Studios CS....I wanna spice things up even more by creating ride events for such rides as "Revenge Of The Mummy" & "Disaster". My question to you what program do u use to create ride events and is there a tutorial on creating this sort of thing? As I mentioned I want to make this as your riding the actual rides. Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone...I got another update for u. But before I begin I wanna say thanks to those of you who are trying to help out with reference pics...it's been hard trying to find things I need. But I will do my best to make it work the best way that I can. So today I did some work on some "Men In Black" CS. Remember this is very early preview and may change...but this is what I come up with....
http://i25.tinypic.com/qquzhv.jpg
We first begin with a very well familar Cue Sign....I personally think it looks good but your opinions and comments help as well :)
http://i31.tinypic.com/2l962o9.jpg
There are not many good pics out there of the tower let alone textures....but I did my best with what I had to work with and this is what I came up with for the front Mini Arch in front of the attraction.
http://i27.tinypic.com/2zf767c.jpg
Finally here is what they look like put together with building....
http://i28.tinypic.com/1586zbq.jpg
Here is another view....
http://i32.tinypic.com/1z1sb9h.jpg
and almost simular view but a bit closer.....
Before I go I would like to mention that these will be seperate pieces so that you the park builder can use these pieces any way you like for your own attractions down the line. That's all for today... I am off to do alittle more work as I should soon have "Jimmy Neutron Blast" Building complete with a final look then I will get it in game. But till then I will continue work on "Men In Black" then focus on "Shrek 4D"... so please feel free to get those photo's in if u can...if not don't worry about it I will be creative and do my best with what I have... till next time...see ya soon!!!!

This is the final shot... this part of the set piece for Shrek 4D will be in 2 pieces....once I see how they poly's are for both I may make the Shrek 4D sign in 3D but we will see no promises. That's all for now.....see ya soon!!!

Hey everyone just a quick update to everyone...a few days ago I began work on the Disaster stuff but for you to get an "Exclusive" look at that noone else has seen yet. Also a special track ride included. It will not hit this forum for a few weeks but if if you want a sneak peak at what's going on go to my sig and click on "MY OFFICIAL RCT3 CS SITE (http://junior026officialrct3cssite.wetpaint.com/)" and it will take u to the home page. Then click on the Disaster Icon and check out the new & latest models....
Now I have been asked questions over the past few days if I will have a Beta Release Soon...no there will not be a beta release for a while due I still have alot of work to do both on the Park & CS. However, when the times comes for a beta only (5) people of my chosing will have the oppurtunity to view the CS pack everyone else will have to wait till release date which looks like sometime in December 2009. So for those of you will not have to wait till January 1, 2010. If all goes well and things keep progressing well we can even see an earlier release date. The next update for the CS & Park will not be untill this Monday. So untill then see ya soon!!!!

here is the first sneak peak at the Universal Globe. This will be on 2 pieces... one piece being the globe and the other the base. I still have to add the a few textures to including the Universal sign that goes around it, etc. I just wanted to show you I am working on it.....
http://i30.tinypic.com/uwmlw.jpg
here is the first look at the Jimmy Neutron cars that will go inside the building. Not sure what exactly the cars really look like cuz there are not many pics of the actual thing inside. I thought I would be creative. How this will work is ....peeps will be able to sit in the car to rest, etc. I will add the movie screen and the little details inside the theatre later. I will add black lights to the inside of the theater to make the cars glow in the dark...thought it would be a great effect...but here is something for you to keep you wondering.
Sorry to keep this short but I have alot of work to do with updates on the park thread tonight. So gotta run...see ya soon!!!

I went into the importer and set them up in which I thought might of been correct to get peeps to sit on them. I filled the park up and i set a whole bunch of these around and nothing they won't even sit on it... can anyone tell me what the problem might be? Here is a shot....

It is still there, just it has been closed for renovation I believe.
Some think it will re-open for HHN, because of the theme (Ripped from the Silver Screams) involves classic movie monsters (as well as recent ones).

It's still on the universal website though, just says it is currently closed. I doubt they will remove this restaurant. Or if they do they will probably only remove the building section of it, not the kiosk-type one that djfriktion is making now.

The photo textures i used were the best they could get.

"SUPRISE.....SUPRISE"
Hey everyone, it feels good to be back after my little vacation. To be honest I was ready to come back and show off what I had put away for a while but I thought it would only be right to wait for the right moment. So today's update should be one of the best CS updates. Remember, the CS is a work in progress if not final. The 1st of 2 CS Packs for this park is done. The first CS Pack consist of 32 pieces....to find out what those pieces are please check back later today on the first thread for details.
Now on to the big suprise I have been holding back on. This model I have completely done on my own. It took me about 2 weeks to work on this model but I think it came out great....for those of you who have not been to my website and have not seen this yet....then it's a first look at the "Disaster" Train for the attraction. The reason it's not on the CTR boards yet is because it's only a model right now. Once it's complete then I will display it on the boards over there..... so take a look at the goodies....
http://i28.tinypic.com/o0pksp.jpg
As we get a first look into the "Disaster" Train you can see it came out very well.
http://i27.tinypic.com/30cyq0p.jpg
A look of the seating inside the train....
http://i25.tinypic.com/10xzhvn.jpg
Here is a better look inside of the train.....
http://i28.tinypic.com/2k1ztd.jpg
As you can see the track wheels have been added to the train...
http://i25.tinypic.com/2j4amw2.jpg
A closer look at the train wheels.... I am happy to say that the model is complete once I get the chance I will make it into a track ride. It will be released with the rest of the set and park.
"LUCY I'M HOME"
http://i28.tinypic.com/2vnl2js.jpg
Here is a shot of the "A Lucy Tribute" Building....I had to remake this thing twice to make sure it came out right. This is the best I could do and I think it looks sweet!!! Wait till you see it in game....haa haaaa.....
"TWISTER RIDE IT OUT"
http://i25.tinypic.com/29qi7q1.jpg
Your looking at a sneak peak of the some of the CS pieces that will go inside the "Twister Ride It Out" Attraction..... I can see the jaws drop haa haaa gotta love it!!!
"GET YOUR FACE CADES HERE"
http://i26.tinypic.com/2q3btyf.jpg
Here is one of the face cades in the park where I am sure everyone is very familar with....
http://i28.tinypic.com/1on2he.jpg
Yet another face cade in the New York Area of the park... there were very few reference pics of the building but I did my best...again I think it came out well... Anyways, that's all for this update I will be back later to post an update on the park....let me know what ya think :) see ya soon my friends!!!!

"HELP NEEDED"
I need some help at the moment... I am working on the "Revenge of the Mummy" Building and I need someone who can help me find really good pics of the Marquee or if someone can help me make textures for it... here is what I have done so far.... take a look.

Thanks guys for the great compliment...to say I am the next vodhin is a great honor....I personally don't think I am as good as him cuz everyday I am still learning how to make my CS better. I will admit my CS has improved but I am sure I still have a ways to go before I can be put on top with such great creaters as vodhin,imagineer john, Gadget,Fisherman, etc. to name a few...I am sure the more I create the better I will get. Many people don't know this but these are the guys who inspired to wanna learn CS and thanks to Lonewolf who took me under his wing and showed me the ropes...now I have been nice enough to give back and help others such as Albert Caine recently learn how to make CS. So in time we shall see new projects from him. I will never take for granted the things I have learned from other people and the help they have given me.... I thank those who have mentored me and those of you who have been following me as well as my projects over the past few years. :)
So please keep those reference pics coming I could use all I can get just make sure you post them here and not on the park thread... see ya soon!!!

Ok everyone I am back again with another update... first I want to thank Albert Caine for providing me with a photo of the Marquee which was angled but it was the best pic out there. After many long hours of playing around with the texture this is what I came up with and I am very happy with the results take a look :)
http://i28.tinypic.com/2rdx544.jpg
After looking at pics all day and let me tell u my eyes hurt from trying to look at the details... if you look closely I had to make my textures for the little shop known as "Sahara Traders" which I think came out ok....since I couldn't find nothing online that I could use... I am happy with it. I am def happy with the results that are coming out of this. After a long day of working on this I am gonna take a break for a couple of hours then I will get back to work on this. Let me know what ya think :)

They look awesome in Sketchup and came out the way I wanted....but when I got it into game it just didn't come out right at all...... I dunno what is going on things are just not lineing up. I am doing everything correctly like I have been doing with all my cs....and now im stuck and need some help :( Take a look....

Make sure that the faces in Sketchup is white and not gray. If that's not the problem then I would to make a separate texture for the pillars.
Also did you check out the link with the interior shots of ROTM?

Now as for where I get my idea's well luckily I live in Florida near Universal and have been there tons of times that I can't even count. It's one of my favorite parks. So I thought I would make a second version of the park from what I did over a year ago. However, I just do ALOT of research online... some from my old photo's, alot from memory and then of course from alot of you who send pics in.
So this park has really inspired me to rework my whole "Hollywood Backlot Studios Park"... so once this park is done then I will go back to working on that now that I have tons more idea's for it...so we will see. I have to get back to work I have alot to do before I can give a park update so I will TTYL Peeps!!!

Hey everyone back with another small update... I have been working on the Revenge of the Mummy stuff all day. I am happy to announce that the track layout is complete and is about 98% accurate to tha actual ride in Orlando ;) now I been looking at youtube video's all day of the attraction...with there not being many good photo's or video which is usually really dark which makes it realy hard to work with. Here is what I did so far today....
http://i30.tinypic.com/ipz491.jpg
Here is that little room where the fire comes out of the ceiling...this was hard to figure out... I know this room is missing alot so I can use some help with letting me know what I can add to make this room better. What to get rid of etc. I think this is one of the most important rooms being it's what you will remember before the ride ends.
Also does anyone know where I can audio from the actual attraction? I just need the track and I will edit it to fit correctly through out the ride. Thanks everyone... I am gonna work on a few more pieces and bring u another update soon :)

I'm going to be honest, I don't like the fire on the ceiling that is something that could be added with particle effects in game. Otherwise its looking good!
djfriktion
08-08-2009, 11:09 PM
That's understandable Lonewolf I been debating on it all day....I been going back and forth whether to keep it or take away the fire texture thingy. Cuz in a way it's ok but it's nothing special really. I agree it should be done as a particle effect but the bad part about it is I no nothing on how to create anything like that. So what I think I am gonna do is go back to the way it looked the first time and people can add whatever they wish down the line.
However, it's been a very busy day for me...and I did ALOT of work on the Revenge of the Mummy attraction today... however, my computer is telling me im low on memory which sucks but there is no lag which is a very good thing....so I may have to go in and rework a few things... and figure out how to get rid of this low memory crap... I will try to bring you guys an update either tomorrow if not then I will wait till this Monday to give me a chance to fix a few things.
Lastly before I go I am happy to note that the Hollywood "Rip Ride Rockit" track is about 50% complete after studing alot of video. I also want to thank King Of Ka for helping me out with the loop portion of the track I truely appreciate it very much. That's all for now I will see you all soon!!!

yes it's pretty simular from what I can remember. there are no shots of the inside of the cue building really so I found textures that were pretty simular. Hey I am doing my best without any pics...lol. Give me some credit here...lol.

Hey everyone...thought I would come by and give everyone something to really enjoy. I am sure many people had doubts that I could make this set actually become something great.... Well for the doubter and the supports today i give you something that I think is one of my best CS pieces.... take a look.

Once I add the lighting and some effects I am sure this piece will come together very nicely :)

Thank u everyone for the awesome comments I truely appreciate it very much. I have a quick question though.... is possible to create custom mascots for in game like you could do for custom peeps??? If so does anyone know how to do this???? I am interested in creating maybe a Shrek, Beetljuice, etc to walk their area of the park... I think it would be a nice idea.
Also maybe custom balloons that represent the attractions??? If anyone has any info on this please get back to me...thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone it's been a busy day for me. I had planned to get alot more done today but a few things happened and kinda held me back a bit. But I plan to be up pretty late tonight to knock out some Amity/SF CS. But let's begin... I looked at my "Monster Cafe Resturant" set up and was not pleased so luckily a few supporters contacted me with some photo's they had in their archieve and it inspired me to create it in Sketchup. I am now very pleased.... take a look :)
http://i25.tinypic.com/2z55ehd.jpg
I think I wanna fix a few more things with the texture before I import it. I created the inside as well but you won't see it untill it's in game and set up properly ;)
So with that let's move on..... Like I mentioned earlier my plan was to get alot done....but since things happened and slowed me down....I got to work on something else...here is a look at the Fisherman Wharf Sign that is located in the Amity/SF area of the park.
http://i27.tinypic.com/8x3lev.jpg
Let me know what ya think......
Now my main focus for tonight is begin work on Richter's Burger Co./Resturant. I am gonna try to get it knocked out which may take me most of the night. Anyways, let me get going I have alot of work to do....Thanks to all who had sent me the reference photo's I appreciate it very much.
As for an update on the Revenge Of The Mummy Cars....from what I been told they should be ready this coming Monday. As for the Amity Tour/Jaws Boat from what I been told on that is that there will be 2 versions released. The first version will be a regular track version....and the second will be a robo function version. Everyone will be able to have the first version soon.....the second one is gonna take some time before we see that feature on that CTR. So I wanna thank everyone who has lended a hand in their free time. I greatly appreciate it very much. Thanks for offering your services. See ya soon!!!!

At the moment custom peeps and staff are not possible. Custom ballons are and this is cause a shyguy ballon comes with the neton 2 pack. how it is done I havn't a clue.

Hey everyone ...thanks Lonewolf and Chico for the info. It's too bad we can create custom mascots...it was worth asking. Anyways, I just finished updating the Monster Cafe Resturant I think it looks alot better now ;) take a look!!!!
http://i31.tinypic.com/2uxtjzc.jpg
I changed the doors and added a few additional textures both inside and out of the building to spice it up a bit. I am gonna group this and move onto some stuff in Amity/SC area... so I guess I will see you guys hopefully with another update tomorrow. See ya!!!

Hey guys back again... I was up last night till about 3:30am working on textures and the 3D structure for Richter's Burger Co/Resturant. I still have ALOT to do to it before it's done. The photo's I mainly used for reference cuz I couldn't really use them in the model cuz they were too badly angled. So I had to pretty much go on my own on this. Here is what I have done so far to it.
http://i30.tinypic.com/2ly3j0l.jpg
http://i26.tinypic.com/hs8489.jpg
If anyone has any good straight on photo's of the resturant please send them in :)
Moving on to answer your question.... Yes I will be doing Islands Of Adventure CS but it will not be part of this CS Pack. It will be worked on when I begin work on the park but that will not be for some time. Right now I am focused on finishing up this project along with the park so that I can go rework "Hollywood Backlot Studio's" which Albert Caine will be joining that park project. Then I will focus on Islands Of Adventure ;)
The plan for today is to get most of the resturant finished up today and hopefully get it imported in game and dress it up more adding it to the lake area of the "Amity/SF". So let me not waste anymore time and get back to work...see ya later.

Hey everyone back again.... been VERY busy working on cs....today I bring you a new piece from Universal formaly known as "Earthquake" now known as "Disaster". It's been a longgggggggggggggggg day trying to find good textures....I made a few tweaks to spice up the building as you can see below....So take a look and let me know what ya think....
http://i28.tinypic.com/bcuna.jpg
There is still some work to do on this cs piece.... so when this is finally in game there should be a few tweaks added.
http://i26.tinypic.com/2n0j408.jpg
Here is another shot a bit of a different view.....
For those who may be wondering have I done any of the inside subway area....no not at the moment. As soon as I can find some good photo's or video reference then I will begin work on it... But things are coming out well. I should be able to finish up this portion of what you see either tonight or tomorrow then I should be able to bring ya another update hopefully by this Wednesday.... so stay tuned... see ya soon!!! ;)

thanks everyone for the comments....as for where do I get the textures... alot of the textures I spend many hours on the computer searching for what I am looking for. If I can't find the photo I am looking for then I have to create alot of the stuff by hand which takes even longer. It can be frustrating.... Sometimes if I can't find something usually someone is nice enough to send me photo's and usually line up the photo in sketchup up then begin the hard work of cutting around it then turning it into a 3D project. But it's too much to explaine... the best way to learn is do it on ur own. But to find textures you have to do alot of searching :)

Hey everyone, today I bring you a small but nice little update. I thought I would take a break from working on the Amity/San Francisco portion of the CS and work alittle on the "Simpson's Ride" Building...this is a very early preview... once I get things worked out a bit more and get it in game...add other details we should be good to go. So here is a very early preview of the building.....things may change but you get the idea.
http://i26.tinypic.com/2jahsfs.jpg
this time I made sure I created a better Krusty Face compared to my old version I created in my old "Hollywood Backlot Studios CS". The building may not look like much but once u add the tents...things change....
http://i29.tinypic.com/aaaddu.jpg
Here are the tents added in front of the attraction... this will be broken up into seperate pieces so we keep the poly count down....
http://i25.tinypic.com/2r1zipz.jpg
Here is a look at the tents along with the Krusty Face Entrance.... so as you can see I been busy. I will try to finish this up today so I can get it in game and add the rest of the set up in game. Then I will go back to work on Amity/SF area of the park....Tomorrow I begin to work on the inside of the "Disaster" ride....so that's all for now see ya soon!!!

There is something about the blue wall texture that doesn't look quite right though. I would try reducing the size of it while importing. Otherwise your model is spot on. It is a great looking piece.

again like i mentioned in the park thread my old computer was hacked into and left me with 32 viruses which made me lose everything. So i had to go out and buy a new computer... so i need to start from scratch. If anyone has a copy of the importer for me to download please send it to me so I can begin all my work all over again :( from scratch. Any addition cs if i can't find it online then I may need help if anyone has them cuz we know sometimes they become dead links or bad downloads. So please be patient with me as I begin my work all over again. There is no longer an October 31, 2009 release date since I lost everything and have to begin again. So it's gonna be some time...so nooone pressure me rush on this cuz I will just stop the project. It's gonna take me alot of time to get this all going again, finding textures, etc. So hope to see u all soon!!!!

Once i begin work on the models they will go pretty quickly as many will tell u before I was knocking things out quick....what will take time is the textures... this computer seems to be running great so i should be good in the graphics dept. I am in no way giving up I have always completed my past projects and I don't plan on not giving up now :) have faith it's a process....lol.
