Well that was fun! I know little to nothing about roller coaster design but that was really cool to watch. I liked your use of foliage throughout the area and really helped bring to life the feeling of being a place you could actually visit. I also liked your lighting placement for the night time ride. It’s nice to see everything with a soft glow and not too much lighting that it makes it too bright. Overall, loved the coater and the environment it was placed in!
Just a slight update, I’ve been working hard on The Siren but my family is in town last week and this week so I don’t have my laptop with me to work on it. Maybe when I get back home next Saturday, I will be able to put out a picture or video for y’all. Just wanted to make sure y’all knew this project wasn’t dead, haha 😊
I honestly don’t think I have ever seen anything quite like that before, haha. Your use of LED effects were really fun and innovative considering what their original use was for. The show left me wanting more, in a good way. Only thing I thought was off was the syncing. I don’t know if it was from the editor or within the show itself, but it felt like some of those effects didn’t go off at the right time. Overall, though, great job!
It took a while, but I finally sat down and watched the show. It was VERY beautiful. I had little to no idea what the story was but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. I feel like if I understood the language, it would have been clearer. I really liked what you did with the fountains. You really made them feel alive. The overall show felt a little repetitive at times with the firework design but there is also only so many ways you can shoot off pyrotechnics in 12 minutes, haha. The colors really matched the mood and feel of the music and I can see you paid a lot of attention to the entire effect from launch to ending smoke. It was fun seeing you play with the middle piece but it felt a bit flat at times, like a chorus line. I would say try bringing some of your ground effects forward sometimes to really give a sense of depth to the set. From your screenshots, I know it had depth, it just didn't come across in the show. In the end, these are all nitpicks in a very solid show. I really enjoyed watching and I can't wait to see what your next project turns into!
Create your own castle of fantasy and wonder with Ezee's Cinderella Castle set. This contains two folders, one for the inner castle and one for the outer castle.
I did make Epcot Forever, I have it in a post on here as a completed work 😊 As for Harmonious….we shall see 🤐
So I know some people have done this already so I thought I might as well join in. I have made many shows over the years (most of them Disney one way or another, haha) and I would like to have them all in one place. I’m going to put everything up until the shows I have already made posts on. If I had to recommend some select shows, I would say watch the following: LuminAria The Flower, Sanctuary, Disney in the Stars, and Disneyland Forever. Those are my personal favorites and you can see my evolution in show making. Anyways, here are the shows in release order! Illuminations: Reflections of Earth: Disney Spectacular Part 1 and 2 Wishes: A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams Part 1 and 2 Will You Be There (competition entry) Remember the Titanic (competition entry) Carol of the Bells Dreams and Wishes One Magical Year (Yes, by this point I had only been on vPyro for a year, haha) Poseidon’s Battle (competition entry) LuminAria: Let Your Light Shine The Flower (competition entry and winner) Sanctuary! Peace on Earth Second Star to the Right Heart of Liberty Winter Dreams HalloWishes God Bless Us Everyone Disney in the Stars Disneyland Forever Congratulations if you made it through all those shows or if you just enjoyed going down memory lane like I did! Would love to hear if you have a favorite!
So, when I made this show back in 2006/7 maybe 2008, I had no idea that other people made virtual firework shows in RCT3. I was in high school, the internet was still a weird and unusual place for me, and I lived in Mississippi. I felt like no one except one or two people understood my love for firework shows. My family went to Disney World for Thanksgiving in 2006 and I saw Illuminations: Reflections of Earth for the first time and it was love at first sight. My friend, who visited Disney often had the soundtrack for that, Wishes, and Fantasmic. We would listen to them on the way too and from football games on the band bus. I saw RCT3 Gold in the Walmart and I had to have it because I had only ever played the original game. Eventually I discovered the mixmaster and I played around with the in-game music and learned how to synchronize the effects to the show. I thought I was being original and clever. Then I figured out through the ReadMe file that came with the game that I could put my own music into the game. My friend loaned me her CDs and, with my dad’s help, put them on the computer. That was when I started working on RoE in the game. I didn’t know how to record and I took great care to avoid all the lag so that I could play the show straight through for my parents. In 2009, after high school graduation we were getting ready for another trip to Disney as a graduation present for me. I was looking up firework shows at Disney and I stumbled upon an RCT3 show called “Magic in the Sky Part I/II” which is still on YouTube. I was stunned. I was not alone. I spent hours watching shows and eventually found the website vPyro (RIP) and found a community that truly understood me. I say all that to set the stage for a show that was made by a boy who thought no one would ever watch his show except his parents. I present my first attempt in the virtual pyrotechnic world, Illuminations: Reflections of Earth
This was my way of showing just how massive the set is. Anyone that is familiar with the size of ID effects know how big they usually appear with CS pieces, haha. Thank you so much for all the compliments! I’ve really only shown pictures from the first minute and a half of the show out of almost seven minutes, so there is still lots to do and plenty more to reveal 😊
Very nice trailer! The show and colors look fantastic! Only thing I would say is watch for those pro color blobs that the ID effects love to create when you put too many together. I usually just make the colors really dim so that I can have the intended effect with the amount of pyro but the look doesn’t get lost in the blobs.
