Next step would be some paint and miniature trees - Time to visit the local scale-modelling-store :D

Wow! Now, if only the scale could be a little bigger, or at least big enough for the smallest RC cars... :cool:
I like short, simple signatures!

Well, at the moment its ~7.5x7.5 cm (and took 1,5 hours to print) - i can go to 19x19 cm maximum - even that would be not big enough ^^ But it may be big enough to decorate it with premade trees and stuff ^^

It would be great if there is a way to get a 3d model from a whole track (including objects). The way this one is done is just by exporting the hmap and convert it into a 3d surface.

But the new Car editor can export obj, i will experiment with that option too ^^

I just had a devilish thought... scale it up for the ZipZap RCs everyone seemed to have years ago :P

Actually there is already an "utility" made by Strava that can do the same with current cars we have in GR ;)
