I uploaded a first ride-through. But don't expect too much yet ^^

It looks fantastic! I saw the video on youtube yesterday and left a comment. Great work!
Do you plan on releasing this to the public, similar to Horizons Ressurected?

The lift is a large fright elevator that can hold one RV and the door closes from the top downward. Extra RV's are stored located inside the SSE building and behind The Land. Vehicles are swapped out to the the Wooly Mamoth scene using a hoist.
Cool, thanks!
Well, it's not like the Horizons project, i can't program. ^^
But, it's possible, just don't know my way around with the kind of engine that would be needed.
Since i don't know yet where this whole project will go from here, so it's a maybe.
Problem with the "releasing" is this is a high poly model. For it to work in a "game" engine it would need to be
remeshed and for each object to have at least 4 separate versions with incremental detail from low to high.
Thank you for the info! Helps me a lot.

For work I typically dwell in the world if C and Python. For grad school Java seems to be the focus and in my spare time swift,objective-c, and c#Glad you like it! What kind of programming do you do?
Wow, that's a lot of languages, You sure wouldn't have trouble getting your head around maxscript, right?
Thinking about that idea of enabling people to walk through the model and explore it freely, other than just by animated renderings. Maybe you could help with that, if you want. But i'll need until next year to take a closer look at this aspect, as the model needs to be cleaned up and finished before it can be used with an engine.
PS: IF YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE IS GOING TO VISIT EPCOT SOON,
AND HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE SOME PICTURES FOR ME,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND CONTACT ME!

Tell me what ya need. I am going to Epcot second week of November. I will be in Epcot for two full days.Wow, that's a lot of languages, You sure wouldn't have trouble getting your head around maxscript, right?

I actually haven't had a look into maxscript, I have maya sitting on my desktop to learn but really haven't found time. It would be neat to have the explorable version of this ride. Are you looking to creat an entire Epcot

Quite impressive. You have put a lot of work into this.
Thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you very much for sharing!
Brilliant, i'll compile a list of the objects and elements i need pics of
(THANK YOU!!)A model of all of Epcot is my long-term goal.
Maya is a great modeling package, though personally i'm most comfortable
with the 3Ds max workflow. If you check out maya, take advantage of the help/tutorial section.
Both, max and maya have great documentation of features and solutions.
My pleasure!

new vids are up! wipReels ftw!

This is extremely impressive. To say I am mildly jealous of your modeling ability is an understatement. Keep up the great work.
I could say the same about your programming skills ^^

Good point
As i'm quite busy with some other projects the progress on my Epcot model is very slow at the moment,
however, it's still getting along, and thanks to @raven who went through the trouble of measuring some of the distances around the SSE structure i now have new data to work with. Thank you for all the help so far!
(not just the measurements )
The Epcot Trashcan
another preliminary rendering (as seen in wipReel #002)

Hey there, been a while.
Just letting you know the project is progressing continously despite me not updating the thread.
So, what's happening? SSE's exterior is progressing, Innoventions(Communicore) is slowly taking shape and i've shot a quick video of the Horizons V2 model so you can get a first impression of the conceptual design.
(in the video i only show a portion of one of the queue scenes, though)
Rather soonish, i would also like to get back onto working on the interior of SSE.
Animation of Epcot trash bin (yes, a trash bin)
Live stream screen recording of me working on the model
(watch ONLY if you're interested in the modeling process otherwise it's a very boring video)
What do you think so far?
