Tracks LuccaRing - Circuito dei Baluardi Luccaring 1.0 - Legacy HD edition

[irSindaco]

Couldn't do it for today, the compressed SD package exceeds upload limits on RD: i think i can shrink some textures more, don't really know if it will fit (need to drop 150mb down) but i'll give it another shot tomorrow!

AFAIK you can ask an admin for a higher upload limit

irSindaco updated LuccaRing - Circuito dei Baluardi with a new update entry:

LuccaRing 1.0 SD

​

v1.0 Changelog:

• A full photogrammetric scan of the monumental walls + some hidden monuments and artifacts (this required something like 6000+ images!..which meant hours of shooting and days waiting for the right light conditions + hours of processing + retopo etc...hope you like it!)
• A scan of a modern small crane-machine taking care of them walls (wonder how it would...

Just did a few laps and it is very very nice. Few frame drops on this old pile but that is to be expected. Congrats on the big 1.0!

Thanks
You can try playing with the world detail slider, each notch will remove some grass/cars/minor details. Hopefully even slower PC's can find the sweet spot

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Track is absolutely stunning; will absolutely buy the HD version next week. (even though I can't imagine it looking any better than this)
I feel like I have just taken a tour of your town, great job!!!!!

Thanks! Something to do while I'm waiting for rF2 DX11 update.

OK 1.0 HD is uploaded (really took a while...)!

All contributors *should* receive an email with usual instructions (might take another while as the system is sending out mails in batch, 70 users per hour).

In case you can't see it or just don't want to wait, all you have to do is to login (http://directo.it/luccaring/wp-login.php) with your donation e-mail / password and then go to the download page.

...and in case you can't remember your password, just click on "Password dimenticata" in the login page, and follow instructions to setup a new one.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support.
Time to drive!

what's the resolution difference between both versions? i've donated but if the SD version works fine I don't feel the need for a better quality, I guess.
thanks

May need a change of trousers after that speedbump Pretty intense track this, but bloody beautiful.

Need to do some slow cruising to really appreciate it though Amazing job!

Guys just received an alert, and some of the contributors might have downloaded the pre-release version: all contributors please check that you downloaded this file:
LuccaRing_1.0_HD.7z
If it's "luccaring.rar", that's the pre-release version (cameras NOT working), so please re-download..for some reason the download page was not updated.
Sorry for the mistake and thanks for your patience!

 

[garyjpaterson]

So sorry. When I saw those large, grassy expanses I just had to...
Turns out I got more than I bargained for!

i was just going to ask you if you felt like taking some screenshots on the grass... and you made a video

Thanks a bunch, lovely stuff: hopefully more drivers will share their experiences on the final version!

I'm dying to try the v1.0 of the track and been trying to download for 2 days now but the RD server connection keeps timing out (guess it can't handle the traffic). Could you possibly post an alternate link on the track's official website?

Thanks.

..try again at a different time. It's been downloaded by 1k+ people in less than 24 hrs so yes, it might be a bit hard on the server. Let me know if you still can't get it later on, in which case tomorrow i'll temporarily upload on our S3 and privately share the link with users who got similar issues (don't want to mess up all RD stats).
