Have you ever made one?? 1) I made the 3D model which took 30 hours to get right and its still needing work. 2) I have to angle each bitmap image correctly on over 1000 images. 3) the program used to create tracked rides is Not user friendly.
Lookin good! I think the detail on the sides could use a little more relief - hard to tell if the diagonal bracing design is there or not. The engine is under-sized relative to the cars. The roof should be well above the top of the car sides.
Thanks ][ntamin22 I didn’t even notice the back brace faded out. I am working on centering the loco and giving it better size. The only problem I am running into is sprite hight. It can’t be any higher then the original image for the coaster being replaced. Right now I am using the hypercoaster so I can use the length to compensate for hight. If anyone has a way around that it would be helpfull.
. My whole point was to get advise from those who have made rides before so I could get advise on how to make it (the train) better. I think people on this site need to be helpful when they critic someone’s stuff. To many times I have seen comment about how something is awful without suggestions on how to fix it. At that point it’s disrespectful. Especially when someone puts a lot of time into something.
No worries. I think people overlooked that you were just trying to get feedback on the custom train.
We have a few experienced CTR artists around who can give you tips! I'll see if I can drag a few in here with suggestions on the height limit and detailing.
like I said I didn't say it was awful. I just said this isn't a proper screen. It's fine that you want advice, but there is just a place for these kind of things.
Coastercreater9 thanks for the links. I just get tired of people having to hate on others work. Heck if you don’t like it move on. A screen shot associated with my project is my place to get help from a visual perspective. To often people jump to a screen shot and all they say are things like “ that texture is awful “ and leave it at that. No advice. No offer of something better. Its not constructive and it’s unnessesary. Pardon me for being a little annoyed when I spend so much time on something and someone says “that’s not worth a screen”. if you think that just leave the screen shot no one is forcing you to look at it. But constructive help would be nice. So let’s start there. Is that fair?
Cool thanks scoop. Hey does anyone know if there is an easier way to do the rides then the hard interface I am using. It’s the old program amazing earl used. It’s trash and is what is causing me so much annoyance. i have been using buggys ridemaker. not user friendly
Here is the first prototype of the coaster train. it will all work out. Update. I think I found a base model coaster that will allow for hight, width, and length to work out for the loco.

cool but I don't think it's screen worthy

He's referring to the forums; namely this https://www.nedesign...enery-exchange/
or this

Scoop could have linked them, but there's absolutely no need to be so hostile.

Your right I could have. Sorry I didn't.

The only thing I would probably say about the train is that the top is too saturated and needs some more texture.
edit the sides where the bright saturated green could use a bit more texture too now that I look at it again.
