Naomi

[Bakaneko93]

It had to happen, did it not? Another new project by me, even despite the fact that I have left so many unfinished. Regardless of my previous track-record, however, I'm really quite happy with how this coaster is shaping out. Now, I'll let you know, it is not finished yet. But, it's far enough along that I feel comfortable enough posting it; and, watching the coaster be slowly completed is just my type of "exclusive." :wink: Now, with the talking done, let us get on with the actual project, shall we?

Situated somewhere in Japan, (Not quite sure where or why,) Naomi is a unique little coaster that gives you a surprising feel of tranquility while, at the same time, thrilling even the worst thrill-junkie. Though it has few inversions, and never does top 60mph, Naomi will still leave you wanting more. :wink:

The picture above gives you a good feel of how the coaster is laid out; along with the surrounding landscape. As you can plainly see, only a few portions of the terrain are currently themed, but I do assure you that the themeing will come in due time. I've completed the basic landscaping and supporting already, (And have nearly finished placing the footers,) with more soon on it's way.

Interesting....I like the layout and the terraforming! But, take a look at the supports supporting the chain lift and see that they're not attached to the footers!

[deathfearsnone]

this looks promising

[Ice101]

Bakaneko, that is so purtyful! The first pic looks great. Reminds me of NF's Blizzard.

[Marc0o0o0o]

Woah! That looks very nice! You're quickly becoming into one of the best coaster creators of RCT3!

[Doug]

It looks really good, but I don't like the pool spiral staircase on the brake run. It looks really odd. And like Nova said, the footers are a bit off in some places.

[infiniteblue]

I love the layout of the coaster. The inversions look very nicely laid out, and it seems as though the coaster never lets up. It does indeed look like a thrill-a-minute ride! I do agree that the pool staircase looks a little out of place, and some supports are a bit off, but overall the coaster looks very nice.

[Adamb241]

Amazing! Your picture taking skills are amazing! Now about the ride....even more amazing. The scenery and the trees are very well placed.

[Gimmos244]

Great pictures and layout! This looks very promising!

[Fbh007]

Wow! This coaster looks awesome!
I think it is your best,sincerely...

That is partially due to the angle at which the picture was taken. As you zoom out, the footers seem to become less and less viewable. However, I've swapped the placement of a few footers, so that it is considerably less noticeable. :wink:


this looks promising


Thank you, then, I hope I will not disappoint.


Bakaneko, that is so purtyful! The first pic looks great. Reminds me of NF's Blizzard.


It should, as I borrowed the lift hill and drop from that particular coaster. The rest of the ride was created by me, obviously, but it still bares a resemblance to Blizzard, does it not?


Woah! That looks very nice! You're quickly becoming into one of the best coaster creators of RCT3!


Well, thank you for the complement, Marco! I'm quite glad to hear that, although I'm pretty sure that you'll find better projects out there. :wink:

Thank you; The steps have been replaced, and the footers have been rearranged.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment! Personally, I've never been one to add a lot of inversions to my rides, so I'm quite happy with how this one has turned out. (It only has three inversions, I don't recall if I said that yet. :tongue:)


Amazing! Your picture taking skills are amazing! Now about the ride....even more amazing. The scenery and the trees are very well placed.


Thank you, I'm very happy to hear that you like it! Believe me, the foliage is not easy to place; especially considering I've been placing them one-by-one. Nevertheless, though, I think that it's quite worth it. :smile:


Great pictures and layout! This looks very promising!


Thank you, and as I said before, I do hope that it shan't be disappointing.

Thank you; and you're probably quite right. :wink:

Construction continues, even in the rain...

[Ethan]

That helix is perfect, love the themeing!

[deathfearsnone]

wahoo your still working on this looks magnificent

[Doug]

Still looking good! Just promise me you took out that pool staircase...

[Fbh007]

Great shot!

[Supernova]

Nice, Bakaneko? Is there any specific reason for the lack of red trees?

[Ethan]

^ I really don't think they would look very good, the red trees in RCT3 are insanely bright.

[Supernova]

^ I really don't think they would look very good, the red trees in RCT3 are insanely bright.


Really? I disagree, I think they would compliment the coaster, but it's Bakaneko's choice!

[ndawg426]

Looks great, Bakaneko! I like the supports on the lift hill, really nice.

:biggrin:

[The Namer]

To be fair, i don't think red tree's would actually do this coaster any good, as DZ mentioned, that helix is already perfect

[Nethero]

Nice, Bakaneko? Is there any specific reason for the lack of red trees?


As Meerkat says. Don't use yellow and red trees together with green trees cause the yellow and red ones are in early autumn while the green ones are in late summer. This coaster doesn't need anything more at the moment for it to look better.

[deaconnor]

Wow this is great. Really looks good.

[Bakaneko93]

That helix is perfect, love the themeing!


Thank you, that particular style of helix theming is my personal favorite. :smile:


wahoo your still working on this looks magnificent


Of course I am! I was only without an update for a day or two! :icon2:


Still looking good! Just promise me you took out that pool staircase...


Indeed I did, no worries. :wink:


Great shot!


Thank you, Fbh. :noob:

The reason that they were excluded is much the same as Nethero's answer; though it was in my original plan to include them in the landscape, to represent springtime cherry trees, I found them too bright and contrasting to fit in well. If RCT3 had a slightly duller, or lighter hue to them, I believe that they would befit the coaster better. Here's an example, regardless, so that you may make your own decisions:

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-5.jpg

I included the yellow trees to add some color and interest, to replace the overbearing red.


Looks great, Bakaneko! I like the supports on the lift hill, really nice.

:biggrin:


Thank you, I'm quite proud of them!


Wow this is great. Really looks good.


I thank you, Deaconner, I'm very happy to hear that. :biggrin:

[Supernova]

In my opinion, with the yellow included, I think the red trees look good. And so does the coaster. Nice picture.

[Ethan]

Looks nice actually!

Question: Where is the spiral stair case from?

[Bakaneko93]

Question: Where is the spiral stair case from?


Vodhin's Girders & Glass; you need to make sure that it's the updated version. :smile:

[Ethan]

^ Thanks :smile:

[Fbh007]

My constructive critism may probably come late but I think you should make most creative supports.ATH's and Jcat's supports are a little too basic.Adita's supports were creative,maybe something similar like these ones? BTW,it's my opinion,probably not yours.From what I see now,Naomi looks your best:Beautiful color scheme,amazing landscaping,awesome layout,great supportwork.
Keep it up Baka,can't wait to see more!

[Nethero]

I tried that, but the link he gives us always blanks out on me. Could you give me a direct download link? Thanks

I'm probably not going to give constructive critisism until this is done. But try checking out my tutorial in the tutorial section.

[Bakaneko93]

^ Thanks :smile:


You're quite welcome, -DropZone-. :smile:

I shall keep that in mind, then, Supernova. :smile:

Actually, albeit it's a bit subtle, I believe that the supports are unique becuase I'm not using Moby's Steel Jungle. Your standard supports for these coasters are the "Hyper Duel Steel" supports, and by creating my own version of them using the inverted supports as a base, I've actually made a new style of supporting. But, this is just my opinion. :tongue:

Actually, I'd much prefer the critisism now, rather than later. This way, I can make changes to the coaster according to it without having to re-tool the entire thing.

People have been doing that for a while. I even suggested it in my tut.

Thanks for the link :smile:

The reason I can't give critisism now is that right now I can saw about a few things, but those things are going to change once the project is more complete. I can say that you should just use fat tubes for the track leading to the chain lift rather the A frame.

[Bakaneko93]

What would be? Using the remaining ones, or creating an entirely new set..?

Well, regardless of whether they have or not, I haven't seen them. So, please allow me to be somewhat insolent; I rather like to keep them. :wink: Still, I suppose that I can try a few different versions, if you're insistent on it. :smile:

--------Update-

I don't have much energy at the moment, so please forgive me if I do not end up posting too much in the way of descriptions. At any rate, the theming continues:

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-8.jpg

Here we have an overview of the area. If you look towards the back, you'll see just where most of this update's theming has gone.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-6.jpg

I've created a sort of border watchtower, though it resembles a Nobleman's castle/manor in many ways, not including it's size.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-10.jpg

Here we have another overview, this from the top Naomi's lift.

And, acting as the ever-present eye-candy shot, a picture showing the fountain that was added to the helix pond.

[Ethan]

I love that building! Great work!

[Fbh007]

They are nice and realistic,I have no problems using them.That'd be most creative.


Everthing is fine,never mind.
Nice update.

[chevelleROCKER]

Wow! That looks great! Can't wait for an update!

[Nethero]

I'm also liking that building up there. Though now I'm wondering on what the actual theme of the ride is.

I think you should vary the rock types more. You are currently using the black rock and the Snowy rock types. You might want to mix in some lighter rock a little at the top and mix more lighter rock down at the bottom.

[Bakaneko93]

I love that building! Great work!


Thank you, -DropZone-! I'm glad you like it also. :wink:


Everthing is fine,never mind.
Nice update.


*laughs* You're confusing me now. Hah, anyway, thank you. :smile:


Wow! That looks great! Can't wait for an update!


I'm glad to hear that you think so; an update will be arriving in a day or two. :smile:

Well, "Naomi" is a Japanese name meaning "Beautiful one." I fell in love with the name, and decided to theme it according to the meaning and/or origin of the name. Thus, the coaster is set in a wooded, mountainous portion of rural Japan; the rocks are very dark in color deliberately, as the Japanese islands were formed by volcanic activities. I could add some different textures here and there, though, but the lighter, more white-colored rock may not fit as well with the theme as you may think. We'll just have to see, however. :wink:

[chevelleROCKER]

In a day? That will work. :smile:

Oh, well that makes sence. You should use the asphault terrain at the bottom then.

[Fbh007]

*laughs* You're confusing me now. Hah, anyway, thank you. :smile:


Never Mind Baka :wink:
Can't wait for more :smile:

[Bakaneko93]

Indeed...

As per your suggestion, the terrain textures on the mountains has been diversified. :wink:


Never Mind Baka :wink:
Can't wait for more :smile:


If you insist... :confused:
:wink:

--------Update-

Goodness, I'm actually on schedule for an update?! That's rather surprising! The weather today is very dull and dreary, though, and I do believe that I've caught something during the temperature shift. So, like last time, I may not say too much during the update; besides, pictures are worth a thousand words, right? :tongue:

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-11.jpg

And for our closing picture, a semi-overview. :tongue:

[Fbh007]

Wow! No constructive critism :P

[deathfearsnone]

absolutely flawless

[Adamb241]

Wow, thats all I can say....your pictures are amazing! Great terraforming and everything!

[Ethan]

The supports in that first picture are really well done!

[chevelleROCKER]

Wow! I can't believe how well the scenery is and the supports...it's amazing! :eek:

[Nethero]

The way you constructed that dive loop looks very unique. I've never seen someone start the track out diagonally and THEN do a dive loop bringing it back to normal.

And those mountains look MUCH better now. MUCH! I don't know what to say. Don't have any useful suggestions. You could add bushes around the edges of where the rock turns into grass, but that's only if you're nit picky. Very well done.

[Supernova]

I'm having trouble finding something to criticize, but I will ask, what do you plan to do with the large clearing in the last picture?

[chevelleROCKER]

I never even noticed the clearing until I looked at it closer...I would suggest just adding more trees or maybe a pond or something... :smile:

[ndawg426]

Looks good... :tongue:

[Bakaneko93]

*cough* I'm to lazy to reply to all of you at the moment... Sorry. :paperbag:

------Update-

Most of the map is now filled with trees and shrubs, with the exemption of the very front area. I plan another water feature, a much larger pond of sorts with a small oriental house perched just over the water. I haven't any pictures of this, though, as I've just started with it. So, please allow me to give you these pictures displaying the coaster/landscape, in it's stead.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-18.jpg

The train travelling between the Zero-G-Roll and the overbanked element, as you can see, this area has been given a good deal of foliage. I was originally thinking of erecting another building there instead, but I couldn't make it satisfactory.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-19.jpg

Here we have the overbanked element, with a cross between a very small Japanese noble castle, and a lighthouse... I'm going out on a limb calling it a border-watchtower.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-20.jpg

This picture is of the train just before the final inversion... *ahem* "...Wheee!"

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd245/Bakaneko93/Naomi-21.jpg

And here we have the final shot of the day, very nice picture showing the train as it exits the final inversion. :smile:

[chevelleROCKER]

WOW! Can't wait for the pond thing to be added...

[Ethan]

^ Yeah, that will definitely make this coaster perfect.

[Adamb241]

Awesome work! One question, what CS is the Asian pieces from?

[Fbh007]

Baka,how do you want me to do constructive critism? This is coaster is perfect!

[Supernova]

I know I know, nitpicky, but, I do see a lot of the supports running through the track on the final inversion. Other than that it's wonderful.

[Zippy24]

Most of them are fine as long as they are not running through the pipe where the wheels run on. Looks great can't wait for a POV.
