S&S RailRyder Animation

RailRyder was the first new product development I had watched go from conception through to installation at S&S Worldwide. A little ways into the process, I began developing this animation primarily to sell the product internally. As the design evolved, so did the animation. I thought at the time that it was important for people working on each subsystem to see how their part might be incorporated into a full layout.

Assuming that the animation would eventually be used to showcase the new ride system to the public, I wanted to challenge myself to improve over my previous AXIS coaster animation. With that in mind, I created an environment to emulate a sort of BMX bike course. I hoped this would communicate the creative intent behind the ride system as well as suggest a fun theming opportunity to prospective customers.
