Vekoma Flying Dutchman

i’d love to have a ride on this one :)

!very impresive¡

I believe everything in Catia has parts right? Try making it one part and it will reduce the file size a bit.

That’s a good idea. I made them different parts so I could change the material properties of each one, but I can make one part with multiple bodies and change the material for each body. That might work, I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!

The pipes on this model have way more vertices than they need, that’s whats making the file size so high. I’ve never used Catia before, but i would assume there’s some setting for the detail of the pipes, or a poly reducer that would solve the file size problem.

How wold you go about shaping the centerline without using so many points and keeping the track smooth? The reason I used so many is because I used a program called No Limits roller coaster designer. The model in the game came from the the actual manufacturer (Vekoma) so I copied all the node points into Catia and then connected them via spline.

well… i don’t have any experience in Catia, but there’s probably a setting for how much detail the spline has.
