Marble Roller Coaster


Recommended Posts

Ok I decided to make a Marble Roller Coaster :) . I have actually already finished it for the most part except rendering which I need to ship off to my render node. Here are some stills and cam tests. It's short though next one is going to be longer :) and the next one is going to be a Newton Bonanza!

I like it! Different that's for sure! I just had my screens calibrated and the only crit is that it looks pretty dark (or my calibration was not done well).

 

Will you place a camera on the ball (or whatever it is) that comes down this thing? Next, instead of a water slide... a lava slide?

Thanks!

 

I rendered those on a Macbook pro so it is set to LCD Gamma I think.

 

The ball is just dropped... I plan to have it so when the ball ends in the funnel thingy that it will be "teleported" to the next coaster Im making.

I have many sketches (What else are you supposed to do at school?) of various tracks. This next one (If my computer ever finishes rendering (20 hours for 5 seconds!)) is going to have a helix(es?) a loop and MAYBE dominoes ^_^ . Though all depends on if it is possible with newton dynamics. (The jump in the movie above took about 1 hour to get right it involved simulating with no landing and putting in a track piece and righting down the translation and rotation and then reverting the project to before the simulation and putting the track in :wacko: . AND it takes forever line up the tracks perfectly :) )

Ok production has slowed a bit b/c of finals this week YAY! :blink: I am now rendering everything! About 60hours into it so Im guessing it will be done by the end of the week. Hold tight!

The light is visible at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks! Hit a speedbump... A 16 hour render of the flythrough camera has some "black" patches I need to fix :( so I have to rerender that....

 

Also been thinking... This would also be a great idea for a tutorial. I used the sweeper plugin, newton dynamics plugin, several custom materials, etc!
