The "3OL" tracks from a year or so ago weren't THAT bad!

Ya know, I thought I had heard of something similar to this in the past. Now I know!

@ Barry - Yes, an object that has 3 or 4 variations may be selected and will count as 1 object.

I dont think so tbh. Any track where the line, scenery and details is made using just 3 objects is highly likely to completely suck. So I doubt many builders will want to commit their time to making a bad track. Sorry. Anyway, thats just my opinion and maybe I'll be proved completely wrong! lol

Crowsbeak's 3OL (3 object limit) contest was a great success, lots of very unique tracks came from it forcing people to get creative in ways they had not tried before, unfortunately storken beat me to it and i recieved second place but i'd like to think that my track did not completely suck, using just a barrel, a log and a wooden flat ramp i managed to make a medieval themed track which was 1 of my best thd tracks imo

check out some of the tracks made for the contest if your interested mate i dont think you'll be disappointed

Good job I added the caviat that I may be wrong then!

How can we be certain that terrain mods were/were not used in a track? That could be tricky! Also plus 1 to DJ's question.

will lights, bombs and effects be considered 1 of your objects? I asked Crow this for his comp because at 1st they were allowed (we didnt have anything other then bombs to kill you if you didnt make a jump) and it caused a bit of an upset at the beginning of the comp but i feel it should be addressed because people could use lights for crafting decoration sculptures rather than as lights or try to get clever with the effects rather then building so much with the 3 objects or use the bombs as dl with physics turned off hence giving you more then just the 3 objects. In the end i think crow said lights could be used only for light purposes bombs only to kill you and no signs or they would count as 1 of your objects

Point Lights are OK, and Fail Areas are OK.

One effect will be chosen that you may use in addition to the 3 objects.

These are all good questions you guys!

i think i'll sign up for this, my mind is shattered from building for 2witchy's comp but i would love to try making a 3 object track again, was very fun and challenging last time

plus your doing it a bit different this time by assigning us the objects and effects we are allowed rather then us choosing our own, should be a lot of fun

[ihazfaults]

Great! It'll be nice to see what direction everyone's mind goes in when given the cards they're dealt.

I think its funny that Crowsbeak happen to do a 3 object contest too, because I had originally chosen 5, but decided last minute that 3 would be even craftier.
