      Great video, especially for SU. I guess you can't vary the speed, as discussed. Some stalling, swooping, and lurching would add drama. Cool intro. Now what are we going to dare him to do?

                I would think that the camera would be a little higher since the wheels connect to those 2 side posts, right? Then you might not get those "strange artifacts" as much... I don't know! Cool ass video though...

                      Thanks guys.
                      I am sure this can be taken to a higher level: better camera path,higher framerate,some extra props on the scene etc..
                      For me this was more about "can I do a roller coaster?" than making a perfect animation.
                      It's fun to try things you haven't seen done by others using a Sketchup/render engine combo and it's a great way to learn new things.

                          perhaps if you use depth of field in your render app you could get a bit of motion speed... in which app is this made? if the render app spits out seperate images you could also try and run it through a batch in photoshop with motion blur applied

                            here i made an example... it wasnt motion but radial blur i used 10%. you can make a batch where you can deside how much the blur will be. will take a lot of time but i think the sequence will look a bit more realistic
