[Paul Minnaar]

Gee this is great work Woochoo - A definite inspiration to my work I'm busy with. I'm three weeks into designing Roy Hesketh and your work goes a long way to helping me achieve what the track should look like. Awesome !

 

[woochoo]

Thanks Paul,
glad you find it useful!
I think Longford is only a few days away now, but i'm good at finding the next thing to fix, and there is always something

 

[woochoo]

I think Longford is only a few days away now

confirmation: this week.

This going to be a GTR2 release, rFactor, or Multi?

(If it's rF I can test it on my Mac for multiplatform compatibility in any case )

 

[woochoo]

Initially rF, i have btb pro only, but i have a friend lined up for a GTL/GTR2 conversion, and another guy has offered to convert it for Race 07. I think i mentioned earlier in the thread that this will mean these conversions will need a little extra attention for the paddock textures because only rF supports material blending, but it should be manageable.

 

[Mikec87]

Looking forward to this. You are awsome and a better track builder than I.

 

[woochoo]

Thanks Mike, i don't know how you've judged that, but thanks anyway. Maybe i just had way too much spare time :wink:
in other news, i've found today that my license has expired, so, i can't work on it anymore and there are some bits i haven't exported yet!
well, not til i copy paste the new license anyway. it has arrived already. cheers Piddy!

 

[Jonathan Johansson]

Release this week? cant wait! its gonna be awesome, thanks alot!

Am I the only one who thinks there's something fundamentally *wrong* with this situation, especially if you've already paid for a program? oke:

I reckon you have mastered the use of background images and stuff better than me. And BTB in general. I still use 3d Max to import the basic track and finish it off that way. I just can't wait to try the track out.

 

[Kris Vickers]

I see this track on the RFC hall of fame very soon

Cant wait till it comes out..... along with thousands of other people!!

 

[woochoo]

i've previously promised to release certain objects in an xpack when i'm done. Trouble is i can't be bothered making the preview jpg images and all that. Would anyone like to take on that job when the time comes (pretty soon i guess)?
The pack would include trees, a few similar small old houses, power poles and lines, rail crossing signs, a street light, probably some other stuff, maybe some sponsor signs. the road and grass textures won't be included because they are VLM derived.

i guess you'd need to set all the material properties and LOD distances and such, as well as make the images, sounds a bit tedious for me to do it all again. Any takers?

oh, btw, that track i'm working on, i'm still working on it.

 

[Jonathan Johansson]

I can do it if you like

 

[Maximark]

Holy smokes! That is awesome. The detail is incredible. Not sure if I have the drive to be so exact and intense. Two days in to making my first track. Now I have to download this one and drive it.

Great work

 

[woochoo]

Ok Hompe, thanks for volunteering.
Thanks Maximark, you won't have to wait long. Surprisingly enough, i've mostly enjoyed adding the small details and such, but it sure has taken a while. There have been times when i've been happy with a certain section of track, only to find someone has uploaded more historic photos showing more details. I'm certainly looking forward to a life after Longford by now.
