Gary, I heard through our UK office that there is a huge rollercoaster being built there and that a "fly-around" was being shown on the "tele" done in the 3DS keyframer. Apparently some famous rollercoaster designer in the States is doing the design. Any idea who's doing it?? Best Regards, Brian

Sounds like a fun project, but I haven't heard of it before. Perhaps you can track it down through the UK office? – G

I'm not sure if its what you're looking for, but somewhere on CIS there is a Windows screen saver called SCOASTER or SCOAST (super coaster) that appears to have been created with 3D Studio. The screen saver gives you a front seat view as the coaster goes around the track, including hair pin turns and loops.

Brian, I'm not sure what you saw but there is a 3D coaster program available in which you design and build a coaster then "ride" it. It's either produced or distributed by Disney, don't recall which. Costs $30 Canadian here in Victoria.
