Track Ideas, W.I.P. Previews and Teasers v2

[Lukeno94]

Judging by the gaps visible in places, I think not.

[Trigger Happy]

Take fences and armco. A wooden fence like a wooden fence, damn with exaggerated photorealism, nothing is as boring as photorealism without gr spirit.

[Mad Dan]

plus the fences look more vintage . What track is that? I can't recognize it .

[XYY]

Catalina Park, a not-well known former australian track. btw, I guess Crowella took his inspiration for Dicrette layout from this one
Thanks for the advice, I won't make the track in close future as I have too many other projects running but I already collected some screens and so I was curious about this walltype

[Bouncebackability]

Maybe try using SD to get the fence really repeated frequently. Like you see Maciej do with the concrete wall, then do a matching line of Armco, no so repeated, then increase the radius of the arc by 1 so that the armco appears behind the fence, bit complicated, and depends how much you plan on using it, but it might be worth it

[XYY]

Why should I use also an armco behind it? I don't get its use Or is it just because of the pillars which hold the armco barrier? then I could also use concrete posts

[Lukeno94]

I think it might give some kind of visual effect, but I'm not sure.

[Bouncebackability]

oh yeah it was just for visual effect, posts would do the same, but may look too big, or you could do it without the armco...

[XYY]

I just tested it, and these are my results:
-Armco behind: looks wrong, coulour doesnt match the fence color, height is only a third and the pillars don't quite get across the right feeling
- concrete post: better "pillar" feeling than with Armco, but too big
- Just fence: best result

I'll have to see what to do in corners with a small radius. but I guess I'll see what the smallest radius is, how thick that wall is, and make it as thick at the other places (if you understand what I mean ) Or I'll have to put there less walls and instead of a nice round there will be a few edges. But as I said earlier before, I haven't really started working at this, just searching for some photos and locating them

[Mad Dan]

I don't think we meant armco behind fence, try armco in the fence

[XYY]

Okay, here is an early WIP screen of the very same track, Catalina Park.
Any suggestions so far?

[Darjo]

Those fences in the top left curve make me feel claustrophobic. It's probably just me, anyways.

[XYY]

The track was only 9 metres wide in real life, and calculating it go the GeneRally scale, mine is even a bit too wide (And yes, I know trackmaking is not only about making photorealistic tracks, but especially driving pleasure). When I put the hmap on it roughly, I can see if it's too thin or if it's fine.

But you're not supposed to use six trucks on this track...

[Darjo]

It's not the width that bothers me, just the fact that you have fences all around...

[XYY]

Ah, okay. At the other parts there will be cliffs
I try to impose the atmosphere of the track as best as possible. If you want, I can try to show you all the fences and armco walls (I guess you don't care about that ). But I can understand if not everyone likes it most when I do it that way

[GeneSuomi]

You didn't see this coming. I have recently been working with some old layout I've made long ago. I'm not progressing it very fast and it might be finished next week, next month or next year.

What do you think?

[Bouncebackability]

Be sure to round off the insides of the sharper corners, and be sure to spend plenty of time on the Hmap, as there are so many slow tight corners adding a good hmap will make the difference between an average track and a great track

[Areen]

So what do you think about this progression of Dubai?

[Trigger Happy]

Looks amazing! Wonderful desert and runoff textures. And those hay bales in runoffs, cannot wait for finished version.

[Scorpion]

Areen will you add all layouts in pack?

[Areen]

I'll try do it, Scorpion.

[Mad Dan]

lmap textures look cool, do you make them all pixel by pixel or do you use some sort of premade textures? I'm quite curious because these look awesome .

[Areen]

For sand I used some of my textures, and I edited it for this track. The rest is made pixel by pixel method.

[Scorpion]

Hey
I'm making a new track (no preview yet)
Someone want be a tester?
Notice: I'm looking for rather person who will give me true and useful tips.

PS. Thanks Qurpiz for making layout.

[Martyn]

I'll test if you want
