Mountaineer - Planet Coaster RMC Terrain Hybrid | Created using NL2PC
This coaster was created in four different programs. I started in FVD where I made the layout, I'm most familiar with this program and could get the "RMC" shaping I was looking for. After this I imported the layout into NoLimits 2 where I touched up a few spots then ran a script. This script generated a CSV file of the entire layout which could then be imported into NL2PC. NL2PC took this file and generated a 3D model that showed step by step how to exactly to recreate the coaster in Planet Coaster. I then spent the day following this model and rebuilt the ride in my PlanCo park. Everything was smoothed the same way the 4 meter method is done. While made a video comparing the PC model to the NL2 model last year, I wanted to show off this coaster again now that I completed all the scenery around it.
Overall this is one of my favorite projects I've ever done, everything turned out almost exactly as I envisioned it last year. Huge shout out to Distantz who created the script and NL2PC program! I'll link that and other tools I used to make this coaster below.

Planet Coaster vs No Limits 2: Coaster Comparison

Using a few mods and a third party program, Planet Coaster can be just as good as No Limits 2 . . . at least if you design the coaster in No Limits first. I love both of these games, and I'm definitely going to use this method to build my coasters in Planco from here on out. This whole project only took me 2 days with the help of some mods.

I built this coaster back in 2020 and never got around to posting a video of it (oops). I used about 6 Sidewinder sets to build this models. Not sure when I’ll get back to building more with CDX blocks, I’m in college now so I don’t have the room in my apartment to build massive roller coasters like I do at home.

As far as engineering goes, this ride it would totally be impossible to build in real life, or at least be an absurd amount of money. But hey that's why we have Planet Coaster!

Kennywood Jack Rabbit, 100 Year Anniversary Model - A CDX Blocks/ LEGO Recreation
Переглядів 5 тис.4 роки тому
The first coaster I ever built using CDX Blocks was the Kennywood Jack Rabbit, looking back at it today it was not great. The hills were way to steep and the proportions were all wrong. So I decided to do it again on a much larger scale. The model shown here took about 10 Cyclone sets, and a month to build. Overall I’m very happy with how it turned out, it’s probably my favorite model I’ve buil...

    Awesome! Wayyyy better than most Planet Coaster and NL2 creations on UA-cam. The real question worth understanding is… why? What are all the reasons that makes it better exactly? I know the answers, and it seems consistently apparent that most people don’t even ask themselves these questions in the first place. I wonder if YOU blindly stumbled upon some basic truths about the nature of the human minds’ perceived reality here…

    My main annoyance with PC is how desaturated the colours look. NL2 looks far better imo. However, in PC you can actually decorate your ride without having to spend hundreds of hours in Blender, which is a huge advantage.

    There is a way to export out of PC and/or NL2? Is it possible to export to industry standard 3D file formats such as Colada? I want to build the coaster and run the sim in PC or NL2 but export a Colada file out with the meshes, UV maps, textures, and keyframe data from the coster sim, bring it into C4D where I can add a lot of detail to the 3D models, much more detailed and photoreal texturing and shading, lighting, etc., and render it out to a high quality rendered animation.

  • @karachter

    having used both programs (admittedly i've got over 150 hours in planco and only around 8 in nl2), planco feels better to use due to it being simplified due to it being a game more than anything else, nl2 feels like a design software (which it is) however for someone who just wants to build full parks and watch little people walk around my creations, planco is better for me

  • @stunkymonke

    Did you have trouble working with NL2PC? Everytime I get to a point where the pitch of a node goes beyond 90 degrees, the yaw values for the next couple pieces are completely out of wack. Sometimes it’ll say -90 and sometimes i’ll get two different values if you go back and forth across the nodes. I can’t even get through a single loop accurately.

    • @jonathanzang5612
      @jonathanzang5612 8 місяців тому

      I built this coaster “backwards”, meaning I started at the station and worked the opposite direction through the layout. Doing it this way ensures every hill gives the train enough speed to complete the layout.

    • @jonathanzang5612
      @jonathanzang5612 8 місяців тому

      If you put crossties in before you start to twist the track it helps a ton. Though for the most parts it’s just blood sweat and tears until it eventually reaches the profile you want.

    • @jonathanzang5612
      @jonathanzang5612 10 місяців тому

      Thank you! 8 kits probably won’t be enough if you’re trying to make it as close to the real thing as possible. I recreated the Kennywood Racer, which is a much smaller coaster than the Cyclone Racer, and still used up all 8 of my kits for it. For a coaster like the cyclone racer, I would say you need at least 11 kits unless your willing to cut the layout short in places.

    Hey the version 1.1.1 of the Spline Extractor program has indeed had some bugs with scaling. Please make sure to get the v1.2.1 or newer, because those issues should've been adressed in those versions.

  • @Tello3
    @Tello3 10 місяців тому

    Hey, im the one who made the Spline Extractor programm. The Scaling issue seems to be because of foot to meter conversion, since the conversion is 1 Meter ~ 3.28 Foot relatively close to the scaling you needed to apply. The distances to center were in mm on the version you had, so it actually gave you the correct distances between splines you specified. I only designed the programm to accomodate metric parameters, so you may need to do the conversions yourself. Also the version you were using was an outdated version, which had issues with scaling that have been fixed in the next version. I just retestet it and it worked fine for me.

    • @jonathanzang5612

    • @jonathanzang5612
      @jonathanzang5612 Рік тому

      The cart design is much more complex to the point where I don't know if a tutorial would be that helpful. Trying to get the wheel assemblies to work is the hardest part, and requires a ton of trial and error to work out the tolerances and wheel gaps. The actually modeling of the parts are easy, if you can model track you should be able to do it without any issues. For the actual design I would base it off real life coasters. There's a coaster printing discord I could send you, there's a ton of helpful people in it that could help you with the process.
