Tracks Opel Rennbahn 1920s

Wowsers!!

Now it just needs animated spectators....

....just.... because it's so easy.

Wow sir, the detail on those is something else! I've not been able to load up AC for the last few weeks (better half needed my monitor to work from home) but your update to this is top of my downloads list as soon as I can.

I am here because of the contribution in the Opel Post. I'm really looking forward to the release. Keep it up

Test with high poly trees.

Nice! What sort of performance impact does it have for you?

There are 50 trees close to the track. I changed 25 of them from low poly to high poly. Pretty much the same framerate than before, not a huge impact at the moment. DIPs are a bit higher, but not much either. May change after I have replaced all 50 trees. All the other trees will stay as they are.

Final version of high poly 3D trees, now with some random/more organic structures.
Biggest advantage: There are lights and shadows in the tree itself, changing within a day according to position of sun.
For sure, these trees are not suitable for huge tracks. Fortunately, Opel Rennbahn is very small. So where, if not here?
I used Blender modifier "decimate" to create a version with much lower poly count (50 %) for trees a bit further away.

Those trees are astonishing, haven't seen anyone try this successfully yet in AC

You should absolutely send Opel or bigger Opel museums a mail about this once you're finished

 

[gecco]

That looks absolutely amazing

 

[Ben O'Bro]

Oh boy, taking 3D trees to the next level !!
lighting is stunning on the new ones...

damn how we need Unreal engine...

I had a sign "Parkplatz für Motorräder" (motorcycle parking), which is clearly visible in reference images, but no motorcycle yet.
Well, I had some time and here it is: A German motorcycle from 1926/27, a NSU 251R. It has 6K tris and it took me five or six hours to build it. I had to change some things to keep polys "quite" low (I know, 6K is still quite a lot), for example in my 3D model there's only one spring mounted on the front instead of two.
Opel Rennbahn had a lot of races for motorcycles (and for bicycles by the way), so it's a good thing to have them in the model, too.

Screenshots show Blender rendering (cycles) and the motorcycle in game.

 

[Rodger Davies]

Wow, they look incredible - nice scene too

Right now I'm working on the eastern part of the track scenery with fields, forests and a town.
There are three towns around the track. All of them are about 2 km away, hardly visible from driver's view. Here you can see the first one: Königstädten, as it was in 1930. In the end, the houses in the front will have proper textures.

This will be a diorama you can race in

Oh man, that's stunning; love the details you're adding
