My plan with this project is to build my 3D version of the attraction from the actual blueprints used for the real ride. I've been working off the blueprints I have to make sure I get the scale and measurements correct. It's taking awhile, but once this is done I will have a much easier time modeling all the interior scenes. Now I'd like to tell you this project will be done by the time the new movie comes out, or by this summer. Realistically, this will take me a year or more to finish completely. There just isn't enough time in the day for me to focus on this project on top of my Job and everything else in life. I do plan to get at least one finished piece in every month. This might be a cool snake pillar, some props, or a whole room. It will vary from month to month depending on my schedule. I am dedicated to finishing this because I really want to be able to go through the final result.
So here are some screen shots to show you how I'm starting off with the track layout.
First I scan in the blueprints
Then I trace the track layout with a polygon tool to make 3D geometry which I can later texture with photo reference from the ride.
I will be building each part of the Attraction using this method and post my work in progress screen shots on this blog the first day of every month from now on.

Much fantastic work will be unveiled in the coming months, I'm sure. You're gonna keep me on my toes with my model! =D
Now, looking at those screenshots, you seem to have one of the same blueprints I do, but in MUCH better quality. I was wondering if you could send the version you're using? (I'm also curious where you got it!) Thanks so much in advance.
