Which rendering is more accurate?

Does anybody know which rendering of Wicked Twister out of these two will be the real way it's going to be constructed?...notice where and how high the supports connect to the vertical track as well as the inside/outside of the supports.

Here's a hint.. one is a rendering .. one is an artists conception..

And the hint.. guess who did the rendering for the video???

Neither. Intraxx did the rendering for the video, Rob.

Badnitrus did not do the animation (unfortunately). However, I can assure you that the renderings they've posted are dead on and as precise as the real thing. Print it out and bring it to the park on opening day and see what I mean.

That surprises me that the artist's "conception" on the official site wouldn't be more accurate...Go Badnitrus!

If only Badnitrus put people in their cars, I'd be willing to bet they'd get more industry attention. The S:ROS New England model is just off the hook, it looks just like the WT animation in the sense it has many backround rides and lots of scenery.

No, the Badnitrus guys just aren't as well networked, that's the only issue. Their work is far superior, and they'll do it for less. Anyone ever see the Nitro animation Intraxx did? It was pure crap! Bad physics, bad color, lots of missing details, etc., and they actually had the CAD files! Keith and Mike do the good stuff, and pay attention to things like brake runs, stairs, trims, etc.

They'll get more work in due time.

We should hook Badnitrus up with an ad in some industry magazine.

ummm.. you pulling out your credit card? hehehe

It's not cheap...

I agree.. I think Keith and the rest of the gang should seriously look to some kind of PR firm or ad agency to push thier talents.

They did the official POV for Phatom's Revenge as well as Talon, so they are getting some notice...
