Great track Aritz. You always do great work.  The road looks very real and the bumps feel really good.   

I play on medium graphics

bugs
There is a bug in KRP. If you give a texture alhpa it reduces or elimiates the kart's shadow.
So for buildigns give them a white alpha or else you will see strange shadows on them.  (See attached picture)
The ceiling of the tower needs a texture because you see through it from bellow (see attach picture)

Question
How do you make the 3d grass more in some areas and less in others.  I tried a density map once and it didnt work.

Suggestion
for final textures give them a slight worn in look for the buidligns and  maybe some rubber on the kerbs.
Maybe you can do some dirt/sand around the track and then dirt/grass further away.
The fence texture is tilled very small maybe that is more like real life but it appears like a screen in the game.

BUGS: Yes, I know I was testing to use transparent glasses but I will not use them because of those reasons. No problem with alpha channel then

QUESTION: http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=11.240

SUGGESTION: The buildings are not texturized at all. They were made by Schwoni (thanks!!) but I have to texturize them yet... The kerbs are too new, I know, work to be done too. The fence is a problem... I don't know how to do a better one, I am using the BTB's fence and it is as it is.

Thanks for helping

[Schwoni]

i take a look at the fences now maybe better to do them in 3d too. no appear and dissappear and no ugly white alpha

[Schwoni]

there is one problem with FFB in camber parts but that is a problem of KRP i have the same in liedolsheim and it is impossible to fix. if u have a camber corner u drive through it and if u steer more that 45° round about the FFB pull to that side, like opposide FFB effects.

[Aritz]

Only a few things to end and fix and the track will be finished 



Thx to Schwoni for the buildings and help, he is a good friend!

this is an insane track, love it

[fdg1997]

Nice work!!!

How are you tracks so optimized? i can never get under 100mb

[Aritz]

Thank you

This track is a trainning for a future free-proyect. No more real track limitations!

I don't know how to optimize, simply not big textures, not superdetailed asphalts and no thousends of objects...

[EVO]

I see that now.  Its so simple but so amazing.  the 3d grass is working perfect.  The 3d grasss represents the acutal grass just how it should be.  in general grass textures almost all look bad for  some reason (no believable depth). The kerbs look like Gran Turismo 5 quality, Amazing. What settings did you use.  in 3ds max, .GRS, and Shader Map Pro?

[prostix]

amazing
