FMX Ramp + Build Your Own Kit

[ddmx]

An FMX ramp to get you guys started. 50 degree launch angle. Rides smooth, only about 860 spheres. Included is also a blend file of the ramp (how I set it up), as well as a PSD so you guys can customize your own ramps. If anyone makes differnt angled ramps and whatnot and wants to send them to me, I'll try to fill all the requests for making the shp files. For now I won't be able to release any kind of sphere making app because I just don't have the programming experience. Too bad matlab can't produce an exe without another program I'd have to buy. Enjoy!

ooooooooooh!
i was so exited about the release of that

thanks for the ramps david

[ddmx]

If I ever get around to learning the ins and outs of basic, I'll release something. If someone wants to work with me on it, I'd be more than happy to share my logic. (although the logic isn't hard)

and the normals on the wood are too strong, but ahh well.

oooh, i want to be able to make collisions, please someone help him!
i promise i will do a whole crankworks course if this gets somewhere

this is sick, what i ever dreamed!


altrought it doesnt feel like a planes collision would do, stills being awesome tho!

[ddmx]

Dang you mace and your crazy antics! hahaha. I love it though! I'm uploading a short tutorial now on how to efficiently use blender to make fmx ramps using curves converted to mesh (very similar to curves editor in ps yet easier to use). It'll be uploaded by morning lol. Excited to see some of these creations. Just thought of the fact that I should make a wall ride...that'd be sick!

[ddmx]

Hell, promise to the world right here. (and a push to get me to make a standalone editor faster). Any blend object (with the intention of riding it) sent to me from now until the point I can release a stand alone app, I'll make the collision for and send back to ya.

[mace-x]

oh you!
ok, word taken, expect some objects from me, not soon tho, i´d like to finish some stuff first
thanks david!

[mace-x]

daaaaaaaah!
this is so fun!

ok, stupidity checked, that ment to be this



yay!

Oi DD. You MUST make a loop de loop.

[dearnhardtfan7]

depending on whether you can make the texture look good, what about overhanging ruts? Or am I just dreaming.....

David has already had that on his mind. We'll have to see what he comes up with.

Tiny collision spheres dont work well with riding on, and large spheres don't work good with small objects. I can always try it but i wouldn't promise good results.

I'm definitely gonna make a loop, and probably a crazy endurocross / rodeo style fun track with loops, freestyle ramps, and wall rides haha.

no man, just doesnt work, i have 4 ramps close each other, if i crash on them hitting 3 or 4 at the same time the game crashes, same happends when i have about 9 ramps laying around in the editor
