Tracks Any dedicated people interested in collaborating on a track together?

If he is following my tutorials then that is likely just stage one. The next would be to use the center line to make a curve that a quad road would be shrinkwrapped too.

Correct. I'm not quite to that point yet.

I've finished the first LilSki video. Here is a detail of the much cleaner visual mesh that can be used for UV mapping:

One thing I might do is reduce the resolution on the straights and increase it in the curves.

I saved a separate copy of the .blend file without the LIDAR mesh and the file size went from 800MB to 80MB!

I filled a mesh in the infield and a mesh in the outfield (from the inner/outer edges of the track surface) to temporarily use as grass and see if I can get this alpha alpha alpha alpha alpha version of the track in game to drive a hotlap. Just applied a dark gray material to road and green material to infield/outfield. Still need to put the null objects in there for starting locations, start/finish line, and a few more.

No progress in the past couple weeks. I've been travelling for the holidays, home for just 3 days and then travelling again. I look forward to getting back to working on Brainerd!

I know what you mean. A ton of books landed in my lap and I've been reading them, making notes. And then there has been a quantity of new content to try out which I still haven't waded through.

Any updates? This is my home course so I’m very interested in this.

Hope to hear more about this soon - I'm an instructor/driver at this circuit in real life and have been itching for a high quality version in Assetto Corsa for quite some time - I also started learning Blender basics and track building from data based on Liski's guides just today!

Wondering if anything came about Blackhawk Farms yet?

I can get you any in car, drone stills etc that you need for this track. I’m on it no less than 8-10 days a year. I have a ton of video I ca link up for you. I’m headed to a few private days and could do some drone footage if needed. Would love to help. There is also a comp course that rounds the carousel. Let me know how I can help.

Awesome! I took a break from working on the track since there didn't seem to be too much interest in the collaborative effort. If a small group want to get working on it again, I'm interested in continuing. We still have all the files in a shared Google Drive folder that I'm happy to share with any contributors.

I'd be in to learn how to help since I instruct with the racing school at BIR - I'm *very* new to making mods but I sim race and make videos a lot so I can probably help spread the word about the track and find some people who may be more capable of helping.

At the minimum I can at least do bug testing and confirm the "Feeling" of the track in certain spots.

The road tracks listed in @Emery 's tracks with LIDAR data available that don't yet have an AC mod (or in development) are the following:

• Blackhawk Farms
• Brainerd International Raceway
• Heartland
• Nelson Ledges
• Old Bridge Township Raceway Park
• Roebling
• Second Creek Raceway

Any thoughts on these? I'm unfamiliar with all of them. I'll do a bit of research on these tracks to see what reference materials are available.

im new to the game and i love drag racing i saw you have oldbridge township dragway thats a local track to me if you do that track i would be the first to download keep up the great work

 

[OrangeCrush86]

I would like to help but I don't have time right now.

If we setup a gofundme to get this track in AC, is there a modder that would do it?

I don’t mind helping with some track buildings if you have a aerial map you’ve made already and some photos for reference it’s no problem,

be better to build at least 5/6 then we could use the same texture 1 wouldn’t justify the mb of the textures used.

Blender is weird

Yeah I moved from blender to max like 6/7 years back best move I ever made.

Believe all those references are in the share.

Send me a PM with your Google ID and I'll add you to the shared folder!

Has there been any more work done on Brainerd? I'd love to see that finished and gladly help out financially, just don't have any skills to help produce it. :/

 

[davehenrie]

I too hope Brainerd gets completed. I'm picking up AC specifically for the late 60's North American tracks. This would be a welcome addition.
