Aquanura - RCT3
Show-DesigningHallo everyone,
The winter-Efteling is already over, and also the possibility to watch Aquanura in the dark. For that we have to wait until the summer (What a shame
). Fortunately I can still work on my own recreation of Aquanura in RCT3
(For the people who don't know Aquanura or haven't seen it yet:
)
I haven't shown anything from my recreation for a several time. But that doesn't mean I haven't been working on it at all. After schoolwork I spend a lot of time to it, But the problem is that the progress I have made, is not very beautiful to show you. That's because the work I have done yet is the timing of the effects on the music.
I make this 'Show-program' with not very beautiful effects, so to speak. They are meant as an indication for the effects on the music. That makes the current show look like a
. But it saves me some troubles. I don't have to make the entire show at once with the final effects and more. Now I can focus on the timing of the effects on the music, and later I can easily replace the indications for the final effects and trust that the fountains make the right movements which are very characteristic for the real Aquanura.
Despite of the not very beautiful show at the moment, I still want to show you the progress I've made on Aquanura. So I ask you to don't pay attention to the looks of the effects, but to the timing of the effects, compared to the real show.
This is already an older video (even before the first update). I used here for the indication of the 'bloomjets' a fire-effect. It doesn't have the right looks, but it shows the principe of the bloomjet during the show because its lifetime.
This is the latest video of some parts of the show I already have. This video shows the new bloomjets indication I have made as a first test with the
Advanced Firework Editor.
I have timed the effects on the music of the next parts:
- VillaVolta: Mini Shooters + Bloomjets + Begin BloomFountains
- Carnaval Festival: Mini Shooters + Bloomjets
- Raveleijn: (Mini)Shooters + Bloomjets
- Droomvlucht: Mini Shooters
- Paddenstoelen: Mini Shooters
- Spookslot: (Mini) Shooters + Bloomjets
Now the most effects I'm able to time with the current effects, are done. That means that now the real work comes. I will make all custom effects for the show with the Advanced Firework Editor. Therefore I'm learning the basics of AFE at the moment. First result is the bloomjet-indication in the video. I also tried to make an easy waterjet which have also the looks. The first test of that can you see below.
Beside the show, the area of the fountain also needs some progress. The audience platform near 'Fata Morgana' is already built in sketchup and only needs the right textures. The lamps on the audience platform are almost finish. They are made by PatrickDVZ who also will make the frogs in the pond. I hope to show you these things the next update.
