Upcoming Tracks and Track Objects #2

[yzmxer608]

I'd recommend using a blank statue LOD on any of your statues that you're using a lot. Set it at lod9 so it disappears once you're over 500 feet away. Should help with the frame rate.

Ah! I will do that Thanks for that tip!

You can also make one of the lod's a plane, jlv did it in his tree tutorial: http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic. ... 4&p=157523

Also posting these here to remind people, I totally forgot about the billboard lod and clip planes ;
http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6257

Changes:

• New billboard statue mode. When angle is over 3.25, the angle becomes the level of detail where the model will always face the viewer.
• New Y aligned statue mode. When angle is less than -2*pi, the statue will be aligned with the global Y axis.

Near/far plane settings
Add "near_plane 0.25" or "far_plane 5000" to the lighting file, using whatever values you want. I wouldn't set these unless you have a huge track that has a genuine need to override the defaults.

Looks awesome staydown (as usual ).

Going with a super realistic look and feel on this bad boy.

I feel like everyone is stepping up their game lately.

Really nice to see.

OMG looks so good !

[AWood]

Please no cones. Nothing is more unrealistic on a supecross test track.

And i would go for less uniformity on your off-track dozer marks

[staydown]

Thanks for the feedback everyone, thanks for the suggestions too Awood, hopefully I can wrap things up early next week

[DangerJoe]

I agree with what Awood said, instead of cones maybe white paint track lines? Not sure though, hard to say without seeing how it looks. Looks good so far though

[KTM57]

A real test track isn't going to have anything marking it, but white chalk lines are the last thing there would ever be.

[DangerJoe]

R U cerius? Everyone knows chalk lines are the next big thing

[Pumaxcs]

I'd say add one haybale to the center-inside edge of the turns and that's it. We should know how to navigate a SX track, let the decals do most of the work for you.

[Ddavis]

No cones on a test track. The riders typically know where to go

Agreed. Check dean wilsons Instagram 1 week ago a night video. They had banners on berms but that's a rare occurrence for that one time thing. At most one hay hay bale per corner

looks amazing!!

[KaseoDip]

I don't understand why people must quote every picture.. Just say "That's amazing!!" and go on. No one wants to scroll through the same picture 8 times.

But why, most people do it because it's worthy enough to see 9 times.
