one big happy country

Driving through the big city at night.

Looking down as you leave the big city at night.

Interesting shot. The big city really comes to life at night!

This particular section is a graphics nightmare. You will see with the videos, there is heavy pixel issues here (you can see it in this shot a bit as well) I assume to high quantity of individual lights that are part of each of these buildings. They all over lap light rays and the PC just can't handle it very well.

Had the same problem with some Art Deco style chandeliers from the Workshop on one of the Disney America benches made up of those lights.  Individually they seem to work fine, but trying to use a group of them seems to create problems.

I was going crazy trying to figure out what the problem. Thought it was my rendering going amuck and then finally realized it was that workshop item with hundreds of lights.

Yep, same here!

The "Vegas" neon section at night.

 

Heading back to the station area at night.

 

Great night-time shot.  The lighting looks perfectly natural too - warmer street lights and cooler lights on many of the billboards.

On last shot of the backstage area behind the Drive ride. I really didn't finish this section off that well, so I may go back and fill it in a bit more.

Next we will see some videos of the Drive ride.

Here is a video walking through the queue for this ride.

 

LOVE IT!

A pleasant walk! But the pressing question of the day is: Do the peeps get their balloons back at the end of the ride? ;-)

yes they do

Here is a video of a walkthrough/overview of this ride...maybe I should have done this earlier?

 

Here is a video of the ride looking down from above.

 

That nicely shows off just how intricate this track is!  And I still love the redwoods...

Take a ride on Drive the USA.

 

I wanna see more fluffy cows...let's ride it again!

Until watching this POV, I didn't realize how much up and down undulating the track does. You can't really see that from still photos. Thanks for the pleasant video.

Here is an off vehicle/night ride.

 

Even better at night!  Great job on the lighting!

Here is an artist painting version of the load station.
