There was a longer debate within the team about what to show this year. We had the idea to turn NL into a fun fair simulator with a strong focus on flat rides. We were actually thinking about getting rid of all the coasters, but decided to leave them in. We all got quite distracted with flat ride programming, lately, and our idea is very close to reality by now. I am sorry to disappoint you, if you came to this page expecting any fooling jokes. You can leave this page now, because this time everything shown is meant for real. Enjoy and Happy Easter!
Here is a short list of what you see on the screenshots above.
- Scripted and fully animated Tango flat ride
- Dynamic spot lights
- Volumetric fog effects
- Animated textures on loops
- Dynamic sky at night
- Rain effect
The Tango flat ride is not fully finished. It needs more work in light pattern programming, darn this is time consuming, but otherwise it is fully working already. It is scripted using the built-in scripting language and it can be ridden using external ride view. The ride program is pretty close to the real thing. It is a user-land scene-object, which means that everything can be created by users. You only need some talent. The animated light textures used on the loops were generated automatically by a built-in tool. The total animation is about 15 seconds long and contains typical pattern effects. Happy Easter! [ol]
