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

[Areen]

So this is for Ivo's request. I started to updating Norisring, and I did what u can see on the screenshot. I've already deleted the 1947 layout, repaired roads, lines and pitlane (generally even the layout of the track is different, but it's actually a tiny difference ). I've fixed walls and added a lmap bridges instead of objects. Dithering for the track part will be done at the end.

How it looks for now? Any tips?

[Trigger Happy]

Thanks!

BTW you started much deeper revision than I was expecting (rather just a tuning of old version). In that case an idea in PM.

[Areen]

I don't like leaving some parts unfinished or in bad statement. So this will be major update (for new topic?). And this is after your tips, Ivo:

guys, here's my WIP.

is it okay to improve it? it looks like a resemblance to le mans.

of course, free cookies if you want to name this track.

Okay, I just need advice on something. I'm working on a rallycross track at the moment. Right now, the transitions between the offroad sections and the main circuit have a small section of tarmac before getting onto the next surface, as in the picture below, with the gravel -> tarmac transitions having a slightly longer piece. Should I erase them and just have the gravel run right up to the circuit itself or leave it as is?

Name it "I <3 LandEditor!!!1!11!!1"

Yeah, its really OK to improve it! Using the stamps in LandEditor doesn't really look well, i used to do it aswell yet my tracks weren't that great.
I'd say you should read some tutorials in the tutorials section. There are some really helpful tutorials in there.

Or if you don't want to, atleast stop using the stamps and use that path-track-make mode on the left of LandEditor. Then go in Paint (LandEditors spray mode doesn't look well) and dither alot on it. And that's in the tutorial section too

@Flaming Wuzzle

I think it depends on what was history of this track, if it's purpose built rallycross track or if it used to be normal circuit and then they added rallycross parts. I mean now it looks more like the 2nd possibility . But it looks good though. I'm looking forward to this track .

[CuteLego12]

hey, this is an another WIP.

It resembles the desert from sega rally 1995.

is it okay to put cliffs like in sega rally 1995?

So this is next update of Norisring. Much stuff is done. I need to finish stadium part (green stands) and the top part with railways. I added much of dithering around the track. At the end I'll add people and lmap some lmap objects for atmosphere

[Areen]

How looks the railways and the "green stands"?

[SammieVL]

WUHURHUHRUHRURH MY EEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atleast for the train tracks. Maybe add some stuff inbetween.

[Mad Dan]

those green stands look just weird . About railways, why you use white? There should be steel so something grey would be better

[Areen]

Now looks better?

[Trigger Happy]

Distinguish the platforms more from gravel between rail ways. Only 2 platforms are visible ATM, but bellow the booths is another one. There's too much tarmac now, maybe gray-brown gravel (and 2-3 px of border dust on edges to prevent messy gravel border to interfere the rails)?

[Sartalas]

I know that the track you want to do really good. For now, some little details interfere with that. for example, those curves, created with booths protrude a little bit after the stand, why? Improve it. This building on the railroad tracks is a reminder shelter? If so, it is better to draw the shelter. Yellow wagon collapses in the eye, it is better that he was black, with some pieces of yellow or white such as in the photo? I try, somehow extract these platforms Maybe add wagons on a siding ??

[Areen]

I used gravel as a border for railways. Looks good?

[Bouncebackability]

Personally on my railways, i use a dirt base. For the platforms i would make a light grey surface, with a dark grey walling down to the track to create the depth.

[Kaiserkoenig]

This train don't looks like a German train

[Areen]

@Kaiserkoenig, this train is based on picture below:

[Lukeno94]

Why is it yellow then? xD

[Trigger Happy]

Distinguish words ''based on'' and ''mindlessly copied''.

[Areen]

@Lukeno94, I turned all into red x D And I still don't know how looks the green stands. I don't know if it's good in actual shape or I need to find another way to make them. Please, give me some tips.

[Lukeno94]

@Trigger Happy: German engines are often red at the front, so...

[Mad Dan]

about green stands, just don't use them there is no way you can make it look good with this PoV and WS .

@Trigger Happy: German engines are often red at the front, so...

And you think I've never seen DB trains in CZE?

Anyway, it's no point, unless subjecting everything to brainless coping is your goal.
