Related Games / SoCalCoaster's Work Thread

Hello New Element, 

I'm SoCalCoasters. Some of you probably know me from TPR, SGW or RCTL. I'm mainly an RCT3 player who uses no custom scenery. I'm not 100% NCS RCT3 however, and I will from time to time experiement with CS and RCT2. RCT2 however does not work very well on my computer and constantly crashes or freezes.

This thread will just be a thread for all my work. Here's my main park, Bell Gardens, which I've been working in for over a year now.  It has no custom scenery and has progressively become much more detailed.

Here's one of the park's indoor flatrides, Magi Maelstrom 



Here's a look at the park's Enterprise, Firework Flyer



Cloud Wheel



Thunder Racer, the park's racing woodie.



The Factory, an indoor wild mouse coaster.

WEsTern Adventure, the park's Arrow Log Flume



Schwarzwald (means black forest in German) is the park's Arrow Mine train with a drop inspired by Busch Garden's Verbolten Coaster



Another view of the coaster



Here are a few very atmospheric shots



Western Waters, the resort's Upcharge water park attached to the main park.



The children's water structure



Wave Pool and slide towers

I'll post more soon. I hope you enjoyed my NCS Work...

Oh how I wish coasters in RCT3 weren't so bloody ugly with their transitions. The rest looks okay, but I think the foliage needs a lot of work. This is the case with most RCT3 parks though, the foliage is never up to scratch.

I see a lot of work, and I agree qith @trav.
I see potencial in the 5th photo!

To be completely honest, I've never really understood the use of building NCS in RCT3.
As RCT2 is the perfect alternative when you like to be inventive with little scenery.
But in your case it might be due to technical issues.

I really like the pool-structure, I love the idea of making water fall from the windows.
I agree with trav, but foliage is really the main bug of building NCS in RCT3, the vegetation
looks quite bad.

Those last few pics have a great atmosphere.

Keep it up.

I dunno...since I wasn't really introduced to custom scenery until about two years ago I never really felt as "comfortable" using CS. NCS just appeals better to my nature of building. Plus I like to see what the game can do. I like to challenge people when they say that all NCS for RCT3 is bad. That's not to say you've said it, but it's been said to me before.

And I completely agree about the foliage. It's the one thing I haven't worked on in this park since It's just a 50 x 50 cube of trees copy-pasted several times. I'm planning on improving it. The waterpark has some of the park's best foliage thus forth.

Here's a couple other things I've been working on:

Isis: A mini-compact B&M Invert inspired by Oz'iris and Montu



Citadel of Mars: An interesting fantasy/Sci-Fi project I've been chipping away at.





And just because I don't usually use CS doesn't mean I don't use it at all:P



A quick screen from Homestuck: The Ride, a darkride project based on the popular webcomic that I've been working on.

That last screen is very interesting.

You know I love your citadel of Mars structure!
That last screen is indeed very interesting.

Sorry, accidental double post.

So you'd like to see more? Your wish is my command:

This is my first attempt at a Darkride in RCT3

Like I said above, it's themed to Homestuck, the popular Webcomic.

Awesome!
This is fantastic for a first time. Great lighting, very industrial atmosphere.

Thanks! Glad to hear that people are liking the way it turned out!

Things are beginning to heat up...

I would love this with a metal tune, haha.

AWESOME!

Very nice work!

Unfortunately... I may have to cancel the darkride due to an error in Vohdin's Gears Custom Scenery set that has caused the LODs to screw up and not display the gear animation until you're about an inch away. Since the gears play such an important role in the scenery, the ride won't work without them.


EVERYTHING in this update is NCS, or used no custom content.

Citadel of Mars:










Isis:







Bell Gardens:

This whole thread is fantastic.

Looks fun.

Beste NCSO I've seen since circlevision. The Electricity plant looks amazing, and so does the Egypt coaster. You've taken NCSO RCT3 theming to a whole new level.

Keep it up!

Fuck that's good

again! Your work is really good as always! Keep it up!
