Top Thrill Dragster on Badnitrus

I added Top Thrill Dragster today, just some photos and some wallpaper stuff as usual. I haven't gotten to doing the scenery of the park around it, but if you get bored, take a look =).

These guys are really good. I wonder if this has or will lead to cool careers doing this stuff. From news graphics to presentations, there is a need.

Nice work, Keith & Co. The quality improves with every effort.

I'd Like to see a Badnitrus Quality Video Of RIding That Bad BOy. The One at CP.com is good but is a cheap one that has not taken to much time...unlike badnitrus....

Wow! The one giving the "front seat" view is amazing! Thanks for making them!

That is insane! Great job! I'm anxious to see a Badnitrus video. :)

Very impressive pictures Badnitrus... I didn't expect anything less than the best! Keep up the good work, us enthusiasts love the pictures and videos.

Excellent job! Geez, I would do anything to be able to save the money for that program and learn to make rides like you guys do. (maybe some day :) ) But anyways, keep up the AMAZING work.

Welcome to Planet Nupe!

I as well cannot wait for a POV/ Off-ride animation of TTD. :)

Oh and where are these wallpapers? The only thing big enough for 1024x768 is the high-res overview.

I love your work, Keith... it's second to none... and I've always seen this progression towards really professional designs that look more & more realistic.

However, if I must... I would just like to nit-pick ONE little thing that I noticed.

If you took a look on Cedar Point's official "photo" (a nice photoshop image if I ever saw one), that shows Dragster in all its glory... you can clearly see two giant "headlight" type of lights that are on six of the horizontal beams.

I know you strive for realism... and well, I just thought I'd point out that this is one minor omission missing from your rendering so far. Maybe it's incomplete, maybe it's an overlook by your part... but I just thought I'd point it out because I thought that it looked very different when I saw that image on Cedar Point's official "photo".

From the Badnitrus site...

Three years ago, I began Badnitrus Productions when I started making Millennium Force (aka the worst animation I have ever done!).

That's debateable buddy! SKC anyone? ;) Just kiddin', they were 100 times better than anything I could ever do.

I really dig those screen shots! The one with the train at the tophat (closeup) is *really* realistic looking. Good stuff, can't wait to see more updates soon!

hey did keith do the animation for CP's site like with xcelerator (and talon)? or is the one on cedarpoint.com done by someone else? cuz they look the same

Thanks for the great wallpaper. It helps to further anticipate what that coaster is going to be like to ride. I can't wait.

Awesome, there is no video tho'?

LMAO, that's gotta hurt for BNP! The one on CP's site is sooooooo cheesy compared to what [I imagine from the screenshots] Keith is going to do for this one.

They look pretty different to me, I think once the scenery is in there, you'll notice a much bigger difference, too.

Is there any reason I can't see anything cause the whole page is being overrun by pictures that say "this image is being leeched from coasterbuzz" thus bleeping out all the yellow links on white.

Turn off your Norton, dude!

It's your firewalls that's preventing you from seeing the image. Same thing happens if you view someone's profile and see the same thing when there should be a photo there.

SFNE Freak - by wallpapers I meant the layout and overview shots

Dawgbyte - of course I am planning on putting the lights on there, I just haven't gotten to that part yet... there is no way I would go that far and not leave out some lights!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
