I decided to start this project differently than my previous projects by showing the process I go through with tutorials. However, since the holidays got in the way and I wanted to have the animation finished for the "No Coaster Con" event in January, I had to rush to finish it up. Luckily I had enough free time to finish it in time! I believe inverted coasters are by far my favorite coaster that B&M makes. I love how most of the unique layouts for these coasters are truly unique and not just cookie-cutter rides. Silver Bullet is no exception, and certainly seems to have pacing that will make it an excellent addition to Knott's Berry Farm. I decided to make the renderings for this coaster at 1024 x 768 since there is so much detail put into them and anything smaller just doesn't do them justice. I think these images are by far my best work to date and are definitely rewarding to look at after spending so much time and hard work on this project. An animation will be coming soon, hopefully before the end of January, but definitely by the end of February.... -Keith McVeen |

This animation features a soundtrack by New Order entitled Confusion. I originally planned on doing a lot more compositing with this footage, but decided it was too pretty to mess up for the sake of creative editing. Anyway, Enjoy! |
