Heyho,

FINALLY I found a good way to render a terrain background for Slick Track. I am very happy with the result

The map is in a very raw state, so my plan is to update this topic with the map progress.

The background terrain and its textures are made with GeoControl2, rendered in 3ds max via the panoramic exporter and than merged with a sky texture I found on the net. The terrain is made of the 3D mesh that was extracted from the original IS'76 game.

Next step is finishing the main terrain and also the surrounding terrain. This will be done with GeoControl too. Glad the terrain shader system is already set, this will speed the whole thing up quite a bit.

That looks awesome!

Finished the heightmap and also made progress on the colormaps/detailmaps.

View from the starting position.


And the minimap:


Now I need to make a unique lowdetailtexture and some new ground textures. Vegetation and statics will follow soon.

Now you're cooking; that looks excellent! Think it'll be ready for a test drive tomorrow?

If you tell me how to set up the spawning system, for sure

Tomorrow I will edit the bridge to match scale with the roads. Everything should be ready in time!

Looking good as usual, Matt!
