Increase poly count of rfactor 1 track for real road.

Very informative infos here - let them comming.
TIA

 

I'm trying to do a conversion and I've tried to follow everything I've read here but I can't seem to apply it to this mesh:

Can someone give me a rundown of how to convert this mesh into quads without it looking like a dogs breakfast? When I try to use quadify it doesn't look right. If I use tessellate it makes it even worse. I've also tried straight out subdivision but that isn't right either.

Thanks

 

Convert to EditPoly, Remove triangles (quadiify), use Connect in Editpoly

 

If I go to modifiers and quadify mesh before connecting edges in editpoly quadify doesn't do anything. If I connect edges first and then add modifier quadify mesh I get this:

I must be missing something, either I'm doing something wrong with quadify or I'm not doing something right with connect edges?

Thanks!

 

You may need to weld vertex to quadrify it ???

 

graphite tools-> quadify . To remove triangles.. not modifier

When have quads (Edit the editPoly) select edges and press Connect

 

Ok I welded everything first and then quadify from graphite tools, then mesh smooth and then tessellate, I get this:

Does that look right?

 

I used to have 8 polys on width....

 

If I run either mesh smooth or tessellate again I get 8 polys on width ... but polys look pretty small, I guess its ok for corners to be like that though?

 

You can connect on width by only selecting width edge so maybe just restart after quadify. Select ball your width edge and connect... But I 'm still a newbies so... for futher help Mario is your man. He has develop great tool for track moddeling
