Here an example of the HTWRTools in action, this was made in 4 minutes. Its about 300m long; now you can start paintdeformation or texturing

bon courage

Superbe spéciale que je connais par coeur tellement je suis allé la voir au Deutschland...  
Bon courage!!  

Quelque question pour vous;

1. Esr ce qu'il ya moyen dans le stage de donner "shape" a la "path" et que les deux fins gauche et droite, sont a le meme niveau? Maitenant j'utilise un ligne pour mesurer si la route est horizontal.

2. Est qu'ilya un texture artist qui veut aider a ce project?

3 Les videos de parlesportes (pour faire terrain en 3Ds), est ce qu'il sont encors diqponible? le link est mort.

4. Est ce que c'est malin d'utiliser des vrais photo comme texture? Ca donne bien en RBR?

Questions;

1. When I give shape to the path, my loft twists. How can i make the road horizontal in an easy way? Now I use a straight line to evaluate the profile and rotate to get the desired angle.

2. Texture artist are welcome to help

3. is there a link that still works with the videos from parlesportes about terrain creation (The 2 links are dead)
4. Is it a good plan to use real pictures as texture? Has it a good effect in RBR?

Dis moi où les liens sont morts que je regarde ;

First part of the five steps is finished. Now road and terrain details are to be added

     

Getting a little stressed. Wont the size of the stage give any problems in rbr? Its a stage of a massive 20.04 km. Won't it be too big?

Also for the "cordes" cuts do they need to be seperate polygons in order to have different ground physics on them?

Can anyone answer?

Hi,
Too long..; RBR don't work with stage longer than 30min of play, for the distance I've never read something about (loading time?)
And for the "cordes" It's better with separate poly to have other ground physics (glisse, boue, gras )

That´s not right

if you install the Workerbee plugins (don´t know right if it is fixup or pacenote plugin) you have no limitations of RBR driving time (one of my testsession was 90 minutes on one track)
you find actual plugins here:
http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/forums/workerbees-rbr-plugin-support.203

for more information please read the readme files included the packages.


about performance:
RBR gets problems as more polygones shown as same time. Forest section should made with single trees in front of treelines behind. avoid open landscape with many single objects. Ruwetal is a better choice than other tracks from germany. I had many problems with the big wineyard area of bergheim. Performance isn´t best for written reason.
If you want convert track at the end, YOU MUST use only one texture per polygone. BTB blending will lost and must rework during converting. So blending or cuts must make by a extra blending/cut texture.

Last year we drove the a part of ruwetal stage befor Rally Germany, it was filmed by (i belive ) bonet cam. You need such filmed material?

wow, the film would rule!!
I went on a research trip but my photomachine died after 1 km in stage. (only 300 photos) I plan to do a "re-trip" but that will be for februari.

I dont use btb or zaxonn. its way too inaccurate. i use topomaps with 5meter lines wich are very accurate (compared the same piece of stage 1. Google earth and btb and 2. my way; its soo different result.

I create frame with all heightlines from that i have drawn the roadsplines. (500 lines) wich are already on right height but need a little "finetuning" wich can only be done by hand and eye.
then pathdeform to place the roads.
Terrain is with compound objects,terrain and then i use a script to smooth and repoly in equal square polys.
so now iam a little stuck because of a lack of photo references.

anyway thanks all for your responses

Imho should be FANTASTIC.      

I ask my friend for video, there must cut a little bit. it will take a little bit time. As i remember we don´t record from start and at the end it was night.... but should helpfull.

as my opinion, 20km  is to heavy if you make it right. It will kill the feeling if you use standard textures and model low details. i need 2 years for 8km  maybe you be faster, but i dont belive, that you will finished after 2 years with a 20km track. The big problem is to remotivate every time. as i would do such long track, i would devide in 3 Parts and release it as single track. after finished all 3 tracks, you can relese a reverse version of full 20km. You will get a goblet from me if you finish it in a high quality.


Im verry interest, please explain how you do and how look the mesh result. You can write PM, so we dont fill the forum what nobody want read....

Is this an acceptable wireframe?

Little peek




Black lines= 5m mark (height)
Red lines= every 25m mark
bleu= roads

After the lack of clear and centralised information i became depressed.
That's something that can demotivate builders.
So i made a new method of building; "Fiscomans method"

I will explain it here, hints tips and ideas are welcome.

       

make height lines with (s)plines, make road on that--- (s)pline, modifier "norm. spline" pick 1meter, collapse to and than "sweep"modifier (and first a copy of the line as backup)

make shape of road boarders for smoother shape or add other splines for extra shape ( green line), like ditches, spot for house, little hills

pick a spline and change in "compound object" and choose "terrain"

click "pick operandi" and click all your topografie splines

result=, click retriangulate

change in "edi poly", clean up edges and borders and unwanted terrain

in "tools" choose "populate terrain"( free plugin, you have to install --- http://populate3d.com/products/terrain/ )
and take "grid mode: size" (the smaller, the harder for your pc, dont do entire stage in 1 operation with small size) i took 3m/3m. i dont recommand to select turbosmooth and relax

result= (after colapse terrain to poly)




you can then boolean the road and terrain and use antstitcher (with soft select) to finish

Good job fiscoman!!

To put your pictures, use the button. It's easyer to look it directly
