Roller Coaster Cycles

I’ve been working on a wooden coaster modeled for cycles. The supports are not yet finished. Thought I would share!




Wow, how did you make that!? It looks really good. :slight_smile:

Is this based on a certain real-world ride?

Impressive so far, I can imagine the wooden variety being a chore to make because of all the individual parts.

Very nice.

Did you use array and curve modifiers to create the track and supports? Or is it purely modelling of all individual parts?

It looks very nice indeed. I’m curious too to know how it was made.
I suppose you will try to do some animations with it afterwards? It could be great :smiley:

Awesome model would love to see an animation as well.

^^I actually did not use any arrays or curves.

This was all done from a 3d spline generated from a program called Nolimits Coaster 2. (Pictured below)


This could have been easily made with a curve modifier but this was a model made for a pre-existing spline.

I used the spline to generate a bunch of planes and prisms. I used them to bevel and solidify all the edges of the shapes so they became sort of like solid wireframes.



Thats all the planes shown there.
