Garasaki,

I know you've heard it before, but I feel you're using a bit too much blur trying to make the jumps look TOO natural, and in the end it makes them look like random piles of dirt. The jumps can be built into the terrain, but still should have some definition of on track and off track. It'll help big time with navigation and gameplay both. As always, looks like a nice flowing layout.

agreed add a lil more definition to the disp map i know you can

I agree with that but for the majority of THIS track, it ain't happening

To expand a bit, that disp is a full 3 years old. I don't have the original source files, and I was doing a "quick" conversion from MvA to MXS - I'm only on month 4 working on it. Here are some examples of more recent work (only a year and a half old!!!) which is less "random blobs of dirt". In fact, the track pictured had been even further blended and defined, alas that work was lost and I don't have the gumption for this track to ever see public release (and would not be a popular track anyway due to the 6 minute lap times):











Yes if you are wondering, I do like the color purple and I am secure enough in my manhood to admit it

That looks cool, i would ride a 6 minute track. Plus 6 minutes for you is like 4 for me haha

I took that into account. I run 7:30ish laps

The steep hill looks overly rough in my opinion. Might just be the angle of the pic

That definition is definitely what I was talking about. As far as the jump face falling off the slope of the hill ...

If lap times are that long, you could consider chopping it up into 3 shorter versions and then one massive long version. Basically like they do with road courses for cars.
