Upcoming Tracks and Track Objects #2

[Tom cortvriendt]

guys i have a problem, im making an sx track in photoshop with the sx toolbox, but i did work on it, fixed some things, and after i fixed it i putted it in my personal folder, came back to the track, and now all the jumps are waaaaaay to low, dafuq??

Reset your scale in the terrain.hf

Put a solid black dot and a solid white dot in the corner of your track in photoshop. That will keep your height the same.

New track by Tom and a little bit from me...

Lights

I would suggest either just to model the lights or leave them out. With the way that artificial lights have been done in the past, it looks sloppy and strange when riding. I think that it would be better to add lights to the track shading than to the actual stadium. Just my 2 cents.

[p2sta]

got your point, i tried to model it, but it looks even worse. I want to get something similar to jlvs flares on the sx stadiums if possible, but I have not much idea how the tracks stuff works, so it's up to Chris or whoever will work on the tracks

[KTM57]

Yeah, flares would be cool, but as far as I know, it's only possible to have one light source at the moment.

[p2sta]

no idea tbh. I need to learn more about track creating I guess they can be added as billboards I guess as Chris uses on his nigh tracks, or jlv on his stadiums (if that's how they do it tho)

[Phathry25]

I think JLV does his lighting "glows" as statues then adds a flare to the lighting file at the same point to compliment them. The lighting vector in the lighting file is 1, 1.414, 1.

haha, yeah and considering 4k of it are actually just the seats, it's lowpoly I guess, but the problem is, the polygons are pretty big and then the skin is not really sharp since you have put them all on one texture...even tho I made it 2048x2048

You could split it into a few different objects with the same pivot point. I used this way with James Stewarts house and it worked pretty well for repeating textures.

thanks man, I have not really good idea about the lighting files etc, so I hope Chris or somebody else can handle this

Thanks, I have it already on 3 parts, rails/trons/rest...I will probably add some details to it, that will be included in other jm

[Tom cortvriendt]

Looks cool!

Throw some ideas please, you guys think this looks pretty good?

[LucMx23]

yes it looks great tom!
but the double on the left (after the two table tops) looks way to steep IMO
