2010 MX Track Competition

[DJ99X]

ABOUT TIME EY?

Well, here they are. We managed to get 9 awesome entrants, which is outstanding for a competition without prizes!

All the tracks are individually safed, but just extract the .7z file as a folder, and keep the tracks in the folder if you wish. Put this folder into your personal folder.

So, without further ado, here are the tracks vvv

Comments: I started this track a little while before the contest started, that being said I still would have liked to do more but had to get it submitted. Couldn't have done it without everyone that helped me out.

X-fire crew for testing, pretty sure all of the regulars raced on it at one point or another.
DJ- Help with the lighting, shadows, objects, and decals that were modified
Checkerz- Tons of disp help and tips.
DDMX- Objects
Everyone who made tutorials.

9) Sierra MX - PINNEDTOWIN






Voting will start this Saturday. Until then, feel free to comment on the tracks. Y'all have fun now!

My initial thoughts

Alabama: - I dont mind high speed tracks, as long as the jumps are realistic. Luckily, thats the case with this track (1 or 2 are borderline though)
-The track does flow well. Has just the right amount of roughness.
-Some of the trees look ugly
-Textures are probably your best yet. Just needs a bit more variation (using the shadingx2 is a good way)
-Objects look good. Just need to work on the textures a bit more.

Aldmoor: -Has a bit of a hit on my frame rate. Probably due to the 2049 map. Smoothing out the off track may have helped this
-Textures are decent, albeit a bit dark. Needs more variation also
-Track is a tad slippery.
-Disp is enjoyable. I hate the high insides/low outsides though.
-Needed more objects

MX338:
-Track seems pretty accurate. Rides really well
-Nice atmosphere of the whole environment.
-Wish it had a slightly sandier tilemap though.

Badlands:
-Some jumps are pretty unrealistic
-Love the apocalyptic feeling of it (wicked skybox dude).
-You know my thoughts on the objects

Bartows Hill:
-I like the looks of the textures
-The track rides pretty good. Im not getting a real good flow happening, due to alot of blind spots. I think I need more time on the track.
-Nice chill environment. Could have used more objects though.

Green Valley Mx:
-Ummmmm..... eyegasm!!! Seriously, this track looks unbelievable. The detail is amazing.
-The disp is quite fun
-Does have a hit on the framerate. I think its due to the 2049 disp.
-The track feels a bit jittery. I think this is due to the super-tacky tilemap (feels like you are riding a 450), and the brushed ruts.
-Not a fan of the roost

Hillbrook Raceway:
-Pretty good effort for your first MXS track
-Probably a bit too dark in places
-Disp flows quite well
-Needs more objects

Sierra MX:
-Most improved award goes to..... Pinnedtowin! This is a major improvement over your entry for last years comp. You put many hours into this disp, and it really shows!
-Textures look quite good. Probably one of the better looking terrains in this comp actually.
-Needed more objects



Awesome effort guys!

Kurt: Give this a try
