progress at sitges, slow but steady

Ooh, nice! The only version we have of Terramar is from Legion, which AFAIK is a convert from another sim so getting a ground-up build of this track will be another brilliant addition.

Oh yes... and a perfect fit with nicecuppatea's amazing carset: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autódromo_de_Sitges-Terramar

Vaguely remember reading somewhere that even the drivers of the time, who weren't too worried about the chance of burning to death in a tangled wreck, thought it was quite a dangerous track.

Then again, one of my favourite things about sim-racing is that we can get a sense of that danger without any real risk of anything but a bit of swearing as we crash yet again. The most dangerous cars and tracks are often the most fun to drive.

I made a start on the vegetation, which means I can finally turn off GrassFX It does a good enough job of filling out the verges whilst I am still working on the rest of the track, but I really do prefer custom-made 3D grass and folliage.

I've got the first 5 sections done, out of 24, so it shouldn't be too long now (if I can stop myself from 'testing' so much )

"those are the best looking virtual thistles I've seen" is not something I was expecting to think yo myself this evening, but hey, here we are.

That's also the car I'm probably most looking forward to giving it a blast with.

@Fat-Alfie Did you even hear of a game called scum? It has some incredible botanical stuff. Best I've seen in a game.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

I hadn't heard of it, no, but it has exactly the same environment that I try to create for my tracks Thanks for opening my eyes to it! It looks so lush...

That looks absolutely exceptional David, top work!

is that build after a real location? ...what were they thinking twisting it around that rockface? Wtf "Too far out and you'll just fly off the side, too far in and you'll bash your (no helmet wearing) head into the stone."

there's some mental gymnastics in this so that I'll only have to build everything around one garage door and mirror/multiply it along the full length... also why can't I deactivate writing in italics again...

edit: given I extrapolated most of the metrics of a Tiguan medical car parked right next to the wall on one single photo, I seem to have matched the dimensions relatively well so far:

Really excited to have a proper Oschersleben track provided. So the one from Fuzo is also a Race07 convert?
If you need some reference photos, let me know, I´ve been 2x there and did some shots, maybe they are useful.

 

[CaddyDPi]

Just discovered this thread Seems like a fun place to dig around
I'm also sharing this livery which has been sitting on my Trello board for too long ...

 

[Mauser118]

Ickle bit of progress. Typically, I have now found a far better model (no idea what the bugger drives like) So I will convert it to that once this is done. Still learning the ropes getting stuff to line up and conform as the uv map seems to be all over the place. I also am having a real time finding the chinese logos too, but I will hunt them down.

Tirewalls done, better than the "boxy" ones the competition has to offer

FTFY

Road Atlanta is going to be sooo epic, when it's released.

It will be like with Road America - people will suddenly realise just HOW inaccurate the existing version was. (I'm not even using it personally for that exact reason. Lot of work went into it, obviously - just not as good as this is going to be.)

 

[Mitch9]

So today I learned to tessellate... might come in handy some day

Really looking forward to this one John. Just a question, do you make your tracks available to rF2 as well?

If one of the well know rF2 guys reach out, like Senorman, I'll allow a conversion.

WIP Rolland-Pilain A22 about two thirds done, been a slog at times because while I've got quite a few photos there's very few where it's easy to see detail and getting a look at something from different angles is often impossible. Emailed a museum (the Henri Malartre museum near Lyon) in France that owns the only surviving car but with lockdowns still ongoing I'm not surprised they didn't reply. Ah well, back to squinting at blurred photos

That's a shame they didn't get back to you; Keep trying and hopefully you'll get a response.
