    That station looks really nice. Very clever use of 3D signs. Never seen that before. Looking forward to seeing more!

    It's probably a bit too late, but all your turns and helices are way too wide. Would be nice if you could make your coasters more smooth and compact next time.

    Some land elevation would be nice as well, to make it a bit more interesting.

    I've run out of time for today, but here's what I have.

    Never seen someone use signs like that, very clever. I like the old station more though, both need refinement (and I applaud this one's break from simplicity) but it lacks details to make it pop. Maybe add some sort of trim/crown moulding to it.

    All I see is boobs. Have you tried _ instead of .? But yeah, it's a great trick.

    Sulakke, I have slimmed the corners down a bit since the first picture, in both the "back half" and the turn through the loop to rearrange things a bit so there would be more room for some of the scenery. The problem with land elevation change is that, to my knowledge, there wasn't any, just a LOT of trees and brush. I could be wrong though. The sign idea came about because the real sign has different colors like that and I thought it would look better to try an emulate that, so that is what I came up with. Liam, the issue involves both the spacing between the characters and the size of the actual characters themselves. It was difficult to try and get the characters to line up from the two "front" views. I was just fiddling around with it while I had time and landed on something I thought looked alight. I will mess around with it more later and see what I can come up with. Nin, I am just going off of pictures/videos to try and make the station look as real as I can, and it seems to be the dimensions I have arrived at as well. The more I have looked at it, the more bland it has become, but that's the way it really was, except the roof of course. I'll see if i can find some crown molding, that should help. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Sorry for the long post, haha.

    ..but that's the way it really was..

     That's the problem and the fun of building realism: taking rather bland/boring structures and making them accurate AND interesting to look at. Texture, small details, and the like help this a lot and becomes a way to challenge that. Excited to see what's next.

    I kinda started from scratch, so not much of the station is there.

    The queue seems kinda short.

    I'm just working on the building at the moment. I think the que will be a lot easier to work on so I've saved for it later. Does anyone one know if entrances/exits still work when they have been rotated and are invisible? Do they still work if a path has been placed through them?

    I haven't done any work on underneath the station yet, and back side needs more work.

    A good improvement, the spire might be a bit to large, but the rest is solid.

  • nin%s's Photo
    Not bad. I could mention I don't like about it but at this point it's more of my own personal taste than what's "wrong" about it. Finish this current iteration and post more.
  • Peeps%s's Photo

    I am trying a few different things. The screenshot above doesn't look how I want it to look either. I would like to hear what your "personal taste" would change seeing as this is my first foray into such things.

    Started over, but I like this much better.

  • G Force%s's Photo

    Definitely another improvement.  Work on the rest now, dont get hung up forever on the same building or structure.

  • Liampie%s's Photo
    Just roll with this, looks fine.
