Photoshops / Mock-ups

I have a question, no one really answered it. How do I create a Mock-up? I've already created an account, but I am curious of how you guys get the aeriel view shot and get to the layout?

MrInk - is that larger or smaller than Ginormous?

^ A little bit bigger. Ever so slightly... ;)

^^ Shawn, I'm not sure what account you're speaking about. What you need to create a 'mock-up' is any sort of image software (even MS Paint) and in most cases, an image to work on/from. The aerial shots can be found in the PointBUZZ contruction galleries.

Once you modify/create the image, it needs to be hosted on the internet. Some ISPs will provide you with a small amount of space to store your files. I use my gmail account to host the images and then I link to that file (i.e. - http://ninjamuk.googlepages.com/p2007_stormrunner.jpg) in a post here at PB.

I hope that helps with some of your questions - If not, PM me.

Wow, thats a great Mock-up. Once again Wow are u from the future?;)

this is the track that is already in place i will add to it as they add to it! the black lines simulate the train rails. twists/turns in track. http://h1.ripway.com/zbus12/mockupmaverick.JPG *** Edited 8/17/2006 3:32:07 AM UTC by Zbusta***

Your links don't work to much bandwith, use another image hosting site

^ Nice one :p lol

Anyway... If this is the layout, it looks pretty boring and not very long. Soooo, who else thinks this will be a Wingwalker? Sorry to switch sides, but I think it's 'funny' how the supports seem to be a certain distance from the ground... and the launch area has the lift above it, and those supports are far enough away to accommodate the Windwalker trains.

This ride looks like it will use LIMs, but the Windwalker uses a Hydraulic Launch... Hmm.

And before someone says anything, those transitions are not to quick(and definitely wont be too fast) to kill you if it were a Windwalker train... you would either fly upwards which would be very fun, or swoop downwards and almost touch the ground while getting airtime... and judging by the layout so fay, they want every side of the train to get the same and equal experience(in the turns).

Yeah, Anyway. http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4949/maverickaeriallargeik2.jpg

I now believe that this ride will be as boring as watching grass grow unless it's a Wingwalker...

It will be.

#1. Make up your mind. Is it a "windwalker" or a "wingwalker"? I guess it doesn't really matter since it won't be either.

#2. Grass growing being boring is relative and opinionated. I, personally, like to watch grass grow. As well as capturing ants and following them through their entire life cycle.

Why does it always seem we get of topic?

Well, seeing as that there's 23 pages of posts it would be pretty difficult to stay on course for that period of time.

Hell, it's difficult to stay on course for 3 pages usually.

if you check out those wind walker videos on youtube (search port aventura 07) those transitions are very similar.

Well, that probably ups the odds that that will be the eventual layout... what type? Still a mystery, I tried to figure it out, but apparently people don't care about facts and blinded by what they want.

At least we're the ones (as well as others) thinking realistically. It's good to have an imagination.....but it's also good to keep it in the realm of reality.:)
Every coaster I make on Hyper Rails is realistic, as it doesn’t have misplaced designs such as tight hill "draw outs"/"draw ins" (as I call them) or excessive speeds. That's how I try to look at Prj 07 and what I tried to do in the simulation.....even though it's so far off on the hill that’s currently being erected.

Well.... Now that I know the layout(hopefully), I stink I'll make a mock-up in the 'Nolimits' :)
