Making basic elements

This is a thread for your tips on making basic elements like vertical loops, immelmans etc. And i also have a problem, how do you make a vertical loop that is smooth, but doesnt go through the track coming out of it????? Also when i am trying to roll out on the second half of a corkscrew, i hit bank once and the track goes all psycho onme, it like twists utself 3 times. I have no problems with immelmans and batwngs, bnut these are especially hard.

We'll be releasing a set of pre-made elements for you to use with Demo 2. It'll be released in our page as soon as I have them all complete (which won't take too long)

well it would be better if the prefabs could be made at any angle.

and to make a vertical loop you have to use the shift button

make the loop and make it hit itself, then go back and holding the shift button press the red button one way, then go to the next piece and press the red button 2times then same with 3 and 4

now go back STILL holding the shift and where the track is vertical change the Zaxis ONE digit(either 1 or 359) then for the top of the loop use the turn, but sometimes using the zaxis will distort the track if it doesn just set the zaxis to 0 it wont make that much of a difference, if you would like me to make a prefab of a perfect loop just tell me and i will

IF by tracks you mean styles, this is a demo that features ONLY one track style, this DEMO is supposed to let you try it and see if you like it, and if you can make it run in your computer... for other track styles and FULL functionality, you will have to wait and buy the game when it comes out.

That is great to know. I am addicted to the demo but I can't get inversions. I can do loops and in line twists for inversions. Oha nd a diving loop and thats it. My speed coaster I am working on has no inversions but lots fo air time instead.

It took me a while to master them as well. Check out my Untimate Beemer post in the exchange section. It has a vertical loop, an immelman, and it also has a pretty good Sea Serpent also.

I got it..herres a simple way. Make a 90 degree curve..then a 180 one. With the 180 one hold shift and hit the side arrow twice and the turn button once (make sure dits same way as the side button) then make a 270 curve and another back to zero. On the final one put the turn back to zero, There ya go,

I think I have created an EXTREMELY smooth Corkscrew. I made it like an Arrow or Vekoma. First bank a piece 60* then adjust the pitch to whatever you want. Add another piece then bank it 180* and have it go diagonaly the third pice should be a mirror imagge of the first and then back to 0 I'll try to get an Example in the excahnge as soon as I can.
