A well known canadian track now for RF2. After a few quick laps at the free Club layout with chicane the first impression is very good. Track feels and looks good. https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/trembling-mountain.29900/
Mont Tremblant (GPS data) aka Trembling Mountain update is out CHANGE LOG V1.1 - UV texture mapping errors fixed in the corners of the control tower windows. - Water (lake behind pits) position and sized fixed (no gaps to terrain) + norm map now working. - Terrain section around water now uses the multi grass terrain shader. - AI pitlane issues fixed (tents moved + fence + trees moved back to allow more space). - Fixed whiteline issues (lines no longer partly in the asphalt). - Fixed gravel edge colour differences (they were particularly visible at night under headlights). - 2 of the 3 infield buildings recreated as much more simple buildings with fewer polygons to aid performance. - Corrected AI garage locations as appropriate for new tent positions. - Addressed AI issues in T1 and T2 (AI spinning out) - track edge corridor moved inwards + line moved slightly inwards + speeds edited. - Fixed nightlighting appearing in the day (VIS groups set accordingly) - Edited VIS groups of trees on outer terrain (now only appear when using MAX circuit detail settings - therefore using HIGH circuit detail settings should significantly aid FPS). - Ambient sounds added (birds + crowds + announcer - quite subtle though as I didn't want them to get annoying!) (big thanks to Schumi21!) - Fences fixed (weird shading) - duplicate faces removed. - Glass texture fixed (on pickups and other vehicles). - Paddock trucks glass texture now reflects (very subtle effect though) - Control tower glass now see through + some basic internal structure added (walls, doorways and desk shapes). - Hangar shading issue fixed (vertex normals corrected). - Bridge arch shading issue fixed (vertex normals corrected). - Billboards shading issue fixed (vertex normals corrected).
amazing track to drive but the only problem is the grass, look a bit ugly on the green grass especially on the edge of curbs..... because this, even you use all the new tech of track building it still looks not so great....though it is a common problem on rf2, but hope you can improve to some beautiful track mod standard~
If the person who made this track is here, if you detach the smoothing groups, the objects will have better shading.
Hi everyone! Many thanks to Mauro and Manfredk2 for posting this here and their support. Really great to see such positive comments - glad that people are enjoying the track! Like many, I've always loved this flowing track and it's long overdue in a sim so I thought I'd try and make it (I actually tried to make it for rf1 way back using BTB but I really had no idea what I was doing at the time and ended the project when I realised a version had already been released - but this time I was determined to see it through and do it properly!) Please excuse the fact I don't know how to quote properly (forum newbie) but just to respond to some of the previous comments: - zxd1997: I made the grass textures myself so that might explain why they're a little ugly I do agree though and I did consider adding some low grass (vertical plane objects) to add definition but ultimately this would have been too heavy on FPS unfortunately as I already have so many trees around the track. I think it probably looks worst at the curb edges because I made the mistake of making my track edges so narrow and they're often very hard to even see - so perhaps this is something I should address! - Coutie: absolutely, I have had issues with shading precisely for this reason. The problem is that I'm almost entirely using Maya rather than 3DS Max (I only use max for mapping the puddle map in channel 5 because this doesn't work in Maya for some reason) and I don't think you can detach to smoothing groups in Maya? Or at least I haven't been able to find out how. Is it true that it's a script for 3DS Max? Because I also couldn't find any script unfortunately. Nevertheless, I have detached hard edges (as Gysbers showed in his videos) and in the V1.1 update I edited the vertex normals (using "set to face") of the billboards, hanger and bridge to improve the shading, which did seem to work quite nicely. But if you can provide any info or pointers in this area that would be great and much appreciated. - As Mauro said, 24 and International are essentially the same apart from Nightlighting and edited default start times, and their AIW was made using the GT3 Ferrari 854. GP layouts have AIW that was made using the HJK OWC 2015 F1 car so it should be much more appropriate for quick open-wheelers (anything above skip barber). I did this to try and stop those times when you get that annoying sense the AI are just impossibly quick in some corners, ultimately because the AIW was made using a different class of car. But yeah, thanks again everyone for the support and please feel free to send any feedback you may have my way! Cheers
There is a script for max to do it, but you can also just detach to element, I don't know if you can do that in maya. It'll take longer, but it gives the same result.
Mont Tremblant v. 1.2 free to all! https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/trembling-mountain.29900/updates#resource-update-60594 Hi everyone, as I've mentioned to a couple of people who have contacted me for various reasons, I always planned to make the full version of the track (all layouts) free after a certain amount of time, which I think has now come. So here's the full version - now completely free! Note: this update has no changes to the track. It's simply releasing the all layouts version free of charge. I want to firstly say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me by purchasing the all layouts version from my sellfy page (now closed). I really appreciate your support and kind words as this made all the effort worthwhile. I doubt that I will be updating this track any further in the future but if anyone would like to make any improvements themselves then that's absolutely fine and should you need any of the original files just get in touch! I'll also be uploaded mexico 1966 here very shortly as well! For full disclosure on the money side: - 190 sales (some double as they also purchased mexico 66 at the same time) - Total revenue (after fees) = 462.74 GBP (Paypal took on average around 40p from each sale.) - Costs of sales (sellfy 1 year store page) = 211.90 GBP - Total profit = 250.84 GBP Thanks again to everyone for your support! Hope you continue to enjoy the track. Best, Leighton
Change log for v1.2: - Fixed AI not being able to pit properly and refuel (WP connections in pits now all correct) - Fixed rolling start issue where cars would go to 0,0,0 (WP connections for grids positions now all correct) - Fixed rolling start issue where cars would all start in a centre line inside of each other (teleport spot needed to be after the final grid position) - Shading improvements for flag, fences (pit and safety), rocks, bridge (arch and walls), walls, some tents, and some buildings (using set to face vertex normals) - Minor improvement to armcos material (specular adjustments) - Fixed tower banner (no longer behind railings on one side) - Fixed transparent inner control tower material (concrete material now double-sided) - Adjusted colour settings for big tree (less dark now) - Fixed billboard shadow issues (separated face and no shadow cast for structure - only face) - Improved nightlighting (more lights around pit area + adjusted intensities) - Fixed flashing cones + distance markers at night (incorrect pivot points fixed) - Adjusted all main ("FASTEST") AI lines (except GP) - Added "LOW_DOWNFORCE_FAST" AI racing line to each track (except GP versions) for low downforce cars [primarily designed for road cars and similar - not optimised for historics] - Added "LMP_FAST" AI racing line to 24 and International versions for LMP cars - Added RCD file to each track layout (except GP versions) to determine which cars use which racing line (default line is "FASTEST" which is intended for GT3 cars still) As mentioned previously, the AI do seem a little slower from my testing but are hopefully now better behaved. Hope you like it! Cheers, Leighton
