3D Studio Max Roller Coaster

My most recent project in my digital design class. Not my best work on the modeling but I was focusing on learning how to make custom materials and displacement maps. The cars and cameras were on path constraint and the track was [O O] text lofted onto the path. Every material I made/modified myself, the grass and sky were originally pictues, the canyon and road I made myself. The building material was premade. Please rate and comment!

Nice work!!! Is this model documented? Any document or source code for that?

@Bwaaj I didn't know programming at the time so it was all modeled and animated by hand. The trick was making a wild curvy line on the XY plane, and then moving random points on the line in the Z axis to make a roller coaster track. I got a spline of the text "o o" and lofted it onto that line to make the rails, and then I just had the car use the same line on a path constraint. Mostly it was me just teaching myself how to use path constraints.
