The Planet Coaster Thread
I've made yet another attempt at squinching, this time with the help of Joseph "JB" -as he is now called- and his After Effect magic.
Alas the screen stutters at some points, I don't know if I can really do anything (the movie works fine if played alone, but once it's sync with the ride it does that), but the concept is proven!
Truly a very neat effect, I never would have thought to try to attempt something like this. What exactly is squinching?
Squiching is best explained by its inventor himself, Mr. Scott Trowbridge.
I made dis.
How long did that take? Very impressive!
A few days. Some days it went very fast, other days it just didn't wanna go anywhere.
Tim it looks really nice. Good use of the adventure pieces.
It's cool to see some of the NL2 creators really build stuff in Planet Coaster
^^I can relate to that. Haven't opened PC in days to avoid facing my barely-started Big Thunder Mountain-esque mine train coaster in my park. I think I bit off a bit more than I can chew after binge-watching Silvarret's vids, no clue how to realize the vague idea I see in my head.
Following the little scene I made the other day, here is a tuto about squinching:
Perfect tutorial, I understand well now. Could you please point me in the right direction of an After Effects tutorial on "flattening" the recorded video?
I used this tutorial from the Creative Cow forums at: https://forums.creativecow.net/docs/forums/post.php?forumid=2&postid=1033706&univpostid=1033706&pview=t
"1. Apply CC Power Pin to the layer you want to undistort.
2. Check "unstretch," and turn the effect off.
3. Align your four corner points with the distorted image.
4. Turn the effect back on.
5. KABLAMO! The distorted image is now rectangular and fills your comp."
Now, here's some more because that's only one piece of the puzzle.
The trick here is that you aren't doing this for a static image, so you'll have to repeat that process as an animation. Then once you're done, pre-comp that section with the CC Power Pin animation, and apply the Warp Stabilizer effect onto that precomp, which removes the imperfections from your CCPP animation.
It's also worth noting that this same method could be used for NoLimits
Hopefully someone can answer this..
Is it possible to create and import your own custom 3d scenery etc into Planet Coaster?
Just wondering..
No. Not yet, anyway (but it would render the DLC partially redundant so maybe they've just given up on the idea entirely).
hey guys,
So since the planco flatride library is rather limited, I decided to make some of my own flats to make up for it and upload them to the workshop, so here is a download link for every custom flat I've made at this point.
Larson Drop Tower
S&S Drop Tower Kit
Flying Scooters Kit (collab with SilentMember)
Slingshot
Skycoaster
Splash Boats part 1 and part 2
You can stay up to date as I make more on my workshop page at intim305
Those are absolutely incredible! The detail is phenomenal. Glancing at your screenshot without reading the post, I thought the game had received a flat ride update, or at least 3D model support. A+!
SKYCOASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes ive wanted to have one of those in a park for ages.
EDIT: oof, didnt notice this was the PC thread haha. great work regardless.
Too much?
Not at all.
^^That looks seriously good. I love it!
Some of you all have probably already seen this elsewhere, but I figured I'd go ahead and post the final video for Fallen Rocks in case you haven't.
Hey look everyone, i did a Togo in Planet Coaster.
I call it the 'Children Overboard Monorail of Many Screams'
What an awesome show, great job!
