OK. After much stuffing about with shaders and textures etc etc, I have the grass nearly where I want it. This will give you and idea what I hopt for in the final. I am thinking of doing many sections, rather that one huge terrain section.
Hi guys. Just a small update. Getting the grass done. Doing in sections, on part at a time and a fair bit of editing in photoshop. Not a lot to see but I am getting the look I like, actually more uniform than in real life. The real track is quite bad at certain times of the year. The road textures are done, as are the bumps. I may have to remove some since they ahve re-surfaced the track. The old bumps were horrendous with car getting airborn at times View attachment 3123 View attachment 3124
Looks great. Have done countless laps around both lakeside and queensland boreway, although not for a few years now. I'll still remember all the camber changes, gradients, and most of the bumps if you want some detailed info... for all the aussie tracks really.
Just a quick note to say I have purchased a book with over 300 photos of Lakeside from 1961 to 1971, just what I need Here is a link; http://www.lakesideracingbooks.com.au/
Thank you for the great work you're doing Mike! I've been to Brisbane last year and had the pleasure to visit Queensland Raceway so really looking forward to this! Cheers
Hi. I assume you mean Lakeside? I will do a 60's version and a 2012 version. What is amazing and frustrating is that there was so much change to Lakeside in the first 7 or so years, so getting an exact year is not possible, so it will be a blend of those years. It was soooooo different then!
Looking good Mike! I drove many laps of your rf1 LS tracks before getting out on there for real. The first time out was really quite spooky as it felt very familiar The next few times I would get some "practice" in the night before. Made a huge difference to my times. So realistic, its almost like cheating! lol cant wait to try these in rf2 Pedaling the mx5 around lakeside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz1P_9nS-CE
G'day Mike, looking fine on this project. Cut my driving teeth on Lakeside from '72 through to '79. Hoping you can help me source a working version for rF1. I have downloaded quite a few from various sources and they all refuse to open on my rF1 sim when all others open no wukkas. Cheers Muzza.
I will give you two links tomorrow. They are the ones I did. They should work no problems. Make sure you are running DX9. They will not run otherwise....
Hi guys. Just a snippet. What is a good poly count for terrain? I am trying to update the poly as the Bob's Track Builder is very messy. As you can see, I have dropped it over the old mesh. I think I may have to make the roads and terrain one large piece and then it will work better. This will help shape the terrain much finer. I have wrapped a plain over the original to give an idea, but the poly count is high. View attachment 4420
Queensland Raceway Track Pack WIP Hi guys, since this forum has removed the Facebook Login, I can no longer add to my thread under my real name, Mike Cantwell. So, I will restart afresh with new posts/threads. Maybe the mods can remove the others in a few days. I will duplicate what needs to done. Thanks
