It is a bit empty but it's still pretty awesome.
Feels empty due a lot to colorrlessness.
I think it feels empty due to the plain wall next to the loop. The rest is fine I guess. Maybe some sort of ruin that goes through the centre of the loop?
Love the ruins work.
What looping support? there arent any custom supports here at all.
Anyway the park isnt finished but im aiming for a feel of emptiness to a certain degree. Nabatean ruins arent exactly crowded together
You're pretty well traveled so I imagine you've actually been to petra, but this doesn't really feel like it to me. In fact when I was there, I spent a lot of time imagining how a coaster could wind its way through it
It was a lot more red-rocks, narrow passages opening onto really impressive ruins built into the cliffs. You have this sort of multi-level thing going on which doesn't really work IMO. I reckon it needs to be darker, more mysterious feeling and the landscaping/cliffs should be the prominent 'shape' of the park, not big brick walls and wide paths.
Cocoa. One of the most amazing places right?
Although interestingly i got the opposite feeling out of it. The trip down to the Treasury is exactly what you describe but once past that you open out into the valley and its wide open and the tombs are all along the walls of the wider valley.
Walks up to the Kings tombs and the really big building at the far end (I forget the name) wind around a bit more and I've tried to include those. But I never got the narrow passage feeling beyond the treasury.
feels more open than empty to me. i like it.
Small idea for the brake run. Top a layer of junior roller coaster track over the wooden one .and then add an extended spine to the top.
This
There are areas of intense detail where you have the stacked ruins and then totally bare areas.. I think you need some more smaller details scattered around to make this work. Especially on the paths. Some seating/viewing areas and canopies would go a long way I think.
Its weird. I dont know what to do with this. I feel my vision doesnt fit in with the NE way of doing things. I need to spend some more time on this.
please don't, it's awesome like this
This screen is full of solid work, but nothing groundbreaking.
Yeah thats kind of how i feel. And why i would like to hear from Cocoa again. as perhaps the only person who has been where this is based on.
The thing is i am aiming for a kind of NE acceptable emptiness... im not sure thats a thing though.
No i love the density of this. What isn't clicking is the layering.
