I have decided to start modelling a new coaster train. The goal is to create something that hasn't been seen before that looks really cool. But for all I know maybe this has been done already. It has a new wheel assembly/boogie design that's about 75% drawn. I figured I would start a thread and upload some pictures as I go about drawing this. I hope to be finished by February 2020 or earlier. Work will determine how much time I get to spend on it. Here's a teaser to start things off.

It looks really cool. But you have to consider that having so many polygons will cause your game to drop fps like mad.

I will only be doing renders. I have no plans to make this train work in no limits. A low poly version is easily possible though.

Lol ya its even mysterious to me. But im not sure whether to reveal the wheel assembly or not. It may be something special or it may not even work at all. I think building a scale model is the only way to know for sure. And i got a 3d printer...

I have been struggling to make a car body that looks decent. This is my 4th revision and it still looks stupid. But I only got 1 week left until I get busy with work so unfortunately this is going to have to do for now.

I think maybe the lights are a bit exaggerated, and maybe the bottom of them could match the angle of the front grill so that area looks more cohesive. But with that said, I definitely don't think it looks stupid. You've probably just been staring at it for too long. With a little refining it could be really cool IMO.

I may give that a try. Thanks!

I agree with DC about the lights. Maybe try more subtle curves & angles?
But what you've got there looks really good. The exposed shocks at the front give it a bit of KTM X-bow look.

Well I ran outta time. My day job is going to get very busy so I wont be back at this for a few months. I dont got the body finished and I still want to build a full track.

Thanks! Bend the track like building it in real life? It would be plate steet thats plasma cut and bent and welded together.
