BGW Recreation -Moving On?

[MrLaptop]

Hello, I am the Mr. Laptop seen on vimeo with that recreation of BGW. Anyways, here is the latest update that you guys haven't seen yet.


England has had mass improvements lately, involving me making a handful of my own CS. I will make more to fix imperfect areas, but for now, enjoy the picathon.

I will make a roof here on the pic below, as well as a replacement for the wall, but for now you will have to suffer the imperfection. 

Unfortunately, the reason Banbury Crossing looks so spot on is because it is unrealistically huge. But it's still awesome right?

Please tell me what you think of my pics. Should I continue doing the captions or not? 

And a video:

Here is a POV of Loch Ness Monster with real-life audio!

RE: RCT3 Busch Gardens Williamsburg Recreation

First off, this is actually amazing. Stunning in fact.

Secondly, I'm moving it over to the Everything Else board on the Busch Gardens Williamsburg side since it is 100% BGW related and it should get a lot more traffic there.

Anyway, keep up the amazing work! I'm very impressed.

Blown away. Fantastic.

RE: RCT3 Busch Gardens Williamsburg Recreation

I bow down a skill far greater than my own! Your detail and patience must be through the roof!

RE: RCT3 Busch Gardens Williamsburg Recreation

Wow, thanks guys! Glad to see my work is paying off so well!
@Jaqques
Yes, my patience is indeed quite incredible. This in fact, took literally half a year to do. This is no doubt the hardest thing I have tried to do in RCT3. It's painful, but it looks so rewarding in the end.

RE: RCT3 Busch Gardens Williamsburg Recreation

Lovely! I used to play RCT3 often and always wanted to do a recreation of BGW. Sadly, I lack in the artistic skills and it always came off a sad looking homage to the park instead. Everything looks very nice so far! Did you make your own cs or is there a lot of mixed cs sets you are using? I haven't looked around for that sort of stuff in about 3 years so I'm sure there is a massive amount of new sets since then.

RE: [RCT3] Busch Gardens Williamsburg

I made a handful of my own CS. I'll show sketchup pics.

And a potential CTR for Loch Ness Monster

RE: Busch Gardens Williamsburg in RCT3

Nice! That always intimidated me. Great work!

I was wishing I could put my little chickenking Mii playa out there and run around Heatherdowns.  very cool!!.

Might need some paint for England pretty soon though. Got a backup?

RE: Busch Gardens Williamsburg in RCT3

Alright, here is an audio test. Tell me what you think!

Deja vu...now add the new Coke booth fence.

RE: Busch Gardens Williamsburg in RCT3

In order to protest against Scott's actions, I will make the old setup look as glamorous as possible.
EDIT: Okay okay, here's the fence.

RCT3 BGW- Clicky Here for Ireland and an Improved Entrance and a Display of Scotland!

This is the latest update including minor details everywhere excluding Pompeii, and a showcase of Killarney.
You might have noticed that the turnstile building is no longer ridiculously long. It took a complete overhaul of the Entrance Area, which was probably one of my best moves because it looks 100X better.
EDIT: Loch Ness Monster CTR didn't quite work. It could be functional, but barely. And it looks bad.

RE: RCT3 BGW- Clicky Here for Ireland and an Improved Entrance and a Display of Scotland!

Wow this is incredible. I would never have the patients or artistic eye to do this. How did you get every twist and turn of Nessie so spot on?

Blood, sweat, tears, troubles, hard times, doubts, and rage quits.

RCT3 BGW- Christmassy Loch Ness Monster POV found

Yes, I have the audacity to double post. It's special.
Here's something I forgot to share. It was originally posted during Christmas evening, but then I moved it a while later to youtube. Here it is, enjoy it.

RE: RCT3 BGW- Clicky Here for Ireland and an Improved Entrance and a Display of Scotland!

That is amazing! It gives you the feeling of how great it would be if you could hear seasonal music on the coasters in real-time. I love the music on Rock 'n Roller Coaster, but seasonal coaster musical theming at a park would be something so different. And the whole recreation is just wonderful.

 

[MrLaptop]

RE: RCT3 BGW- Be Teased.

Be teased.

This is really just a test. I doubt it will actually work in this position in the end, also, you can expect the actual POV by mid-Summer, when I celebrate 1 whole year of this project.

RE: RCT3 BGW Recreation - Griffon Coming and a New Beginning

Alright, remember the OP with this image?

Here's the solution to the glaringly obvious size issue.

This is the restart of Banbury, the downside with this being that it requires tons of homemade CSOs. But if it can be pulled off, it will look brilliant, as will the restart to the first half of Scotland. Detail work comes last obviously.
Oh, and guess where this is.

Expect a POV by July 4th. The image above was taken on a separate map. Speaking of maps, here is my  map of some of Aquitaine.

Next up, finish the sketch above of Aquitaine and import it to the main file, and connect Ireland with it. Then add foliage nearby Griffon.

RE: RCT3 BGW Recreation - Griffon Coming and a New Beginning

So, are you basically trying to make the heights more accurate? If so, might I ask how you estimate the size of a building? I don't know why, but for me it has always been relatively difficult for me to guess the height of the building, especially in a themepark. Very many theme parks use forced perspective, that can really trick the eye, which is the point of course. Busch Gardens Williamsburg, however, is slightly different from most theme parks, as far as forced perspective. Both of the Busch Gardens Parks are very highly populated with trees on the paths, and on the side of the paths. For that reason, Busch Gardens has trouble pulling off forced perspective. The trees ruin the illusion.
