Here's my WIP, tell me if you see anything really off in your opinion. The track is about 50% done, I'm gonna do more textures, buildings, walls and dithering, leaving the pit last as always.

Fresh ideas are welcome also.

Just a quick question regarding my newest WIP, do you think walls are better off without haybales to smoothen the impact or with them? The track's corners are going to be 50% with runoffs and 50% with close walls.

Few screens included how I've done them in some parts of the track.

Both replies were immensely helpful and left no further questions.

Cheers guys!

I'm trying to get through the basics of trackmaking and couldn't find any info on this from search. When working on the landmap with paint or any other external program, how do you guys do the custom colours on tracks? As an example the yellow and black kerbs, the yellow I understand as it can be fo...

The track looks great and is fun to drive, the only thing that bothers me are the kerbs, they're just a tad too narrow for my taste, but even that is just nitpicking and personal taste. Special props for the AI-line, it works really well. My definite favourite for ToM. :bsmile: Good job! :bg: :star:...

Oh my god, reliving my childhood all over again. The most epic trackpack ever!

Glad you like it Ivo!

Maybe I'm taking too much pressure from the critique, but it's just because I want to make tracks that you guys enjoy racing on. I'm not trying to be a track master at first try, but I'd like to answer the level of quality you're used to. I'm always trying to push myself to the next level in everyth...

Since the pit buildings received a lot of controversy, I decided to redo them. I also added a tunnel bridge between the stands, just as a visual effect. Check the starting post to view the changes & download. I did this because I think a track as good as this deserved a better looking pit. I hop...

Thanks for your comments! I'm still a newcomer and looking at the track now I understand the critique and I did rush a bit too much with the pit. But in overall, this being my third track, I think my skills as a trackmaker have improved quite a lot. All critique is really important, so I know what t...

A mountainous circuit spiced up with some creeks that run through the landscape. The HMap changes quite much throughout the circuit and the downhill corners can prove to be trickier than they look. The track is really wide and it's actually designed for fast cars like the Astor GR-X or the Ferrari S...

Oh, I wasn't going to leave them like that, I just do things in a weird order, I've always done the pit area last, just if I decide to change the pit lane somehow I don't have to do the lmap for the pit area twice.

I just didn't understand your comment at first.

Damn I'm stuck with my latest track, just struggling to make it look good. XYY : When you commented on the pit being too "SnakeDitorish", do you mean the way that the pit aligns with the track? Should I make the pit entrance sharper and connect it to the straight rather than the last and f...

Oh and Genesuomi, the pit building isn't going to be like that, it's there just as a guideline for me to leave enough space for the final pit building. What comes to me making tracks fast, well I mostly have the track figured out in my head when I start working on it, rest of the time is just trial ...

XYY: Thanks for your comment, I'll look into it next week when I have time to work on it again.

Looking good so far? The near side isn't ready yet, can't figure how to make it look good without just dropping random forests in there. :shrug: What do you think about the stands being at the start only? I tried adding them in other places too, but it just doesn't look good with the scenery... But ...

Hmmm. I thought that it'll look too artificial if connected, I'll take a look at them when I work on the track tomorrow. Thanks for pointing that out.

Coming together little by little.

Ivo: Yeah, that's on my to-do list.

So here we go, my third track in the making.

Going to work on the pitbuilding, so don't mind about that.

And try to keep details in mind too - like making nicer finish line and grid positions or in pits. Otherwise it's nice one. :) Will do. I've been doing research on some of the top notch tracks and pumped up some inspiration and knowledge on how to make good looking details and tracks in general. :bg:

Hi! I like the layout, it's like a fast quad-oval with a slower extra inner part. I did a few laps with the formula and a faster car, it works well. I can only mention two things: Some might find the pit entrance dangerous, it's easy to drive directly into the concrete walls (BTW which are nicely p...

My second track.

Comments and critique welcome!

How to say it ... it's too artificial. Try to use less predefined lines etc in snakeditor and print more of your spirit (soul) to your tracks. otherwise tte track is OK (nice layout, not buggy etc). :bg: You're right, I got a little bit carried away with SD's features and the end result came out a ...

I get your point. I'll try a more delicate approach on the next track.

Thanks for the reply and critique!
