Spa Francorchamps project

[fossil grove]

Making spa Francorchamps in trailmakers

Current progress

[verbal drum]

This gonna be peak

[minor bronze]

Guh

[minor bronze]

We might have the same project...https://discord.com/channels/296562030624899072/1413612284479148213

[fossil grove]

Lolll

Goodluck man

Sadly trailmappers and blender doesn't have a multiplayer @minor bronze

[minor bronze]

Yeah

[fossil grove]

@minor bronze how did you make terrain

help

[minor bronze]

I did not do it well

[fossil grove]

And so did I

But looking at the clips urs is way cleaner

[minor bronze]

I just selected the verts and then did make face from selected

[minor bronze]

Right now i can't texture the ground because of how i did it

[fossil grove]

Idc cause I already had a solution for that. All I need is to make it smooth

[minor bronze]

At the start i just did it with the array and curve modifier so it's around the track and smooth, then i went and made it wider or thinner depending on the run off areas and then i just extended verts and selected them and made face from selected verts.

[fossil grove]

Alr alr

Ty

[verbal drum]

I would suggest using curves

[minor bronze]

curves for what? terrain?

[verbal drum]

road

[minor bronze]

yeah

[fossil grove]

Just found a way to make tapered curbs, now I feel unstoppable

[fossil grove]

current progress on the start and finish straight

[verbal drum]

What are tapered curba

[verbal drum]

How are you making your roads so clean

It's a curve right?

[fossil grove]

Yeah ofc

I use path curve

[fossil grove]

The ends of the curbs are slanted

Like that

The ends are pointy

@verbal drum @minor bronze @opal hearth wanna help test the track

[fossil grove]

The track is size accurate, and laptime accurate.

Ish

Track testing

[fossil grove]

Time to make technifutur campus automobile

[fossil grove]

Progress is looking FANTASTIC so far!!!!

[verbal drum]

It was 3 am for me

[fossil grove]

Same, but my textures are still the old one

also just added astro turf, trace of terrain, and sausage curbs

[opal hearth]

lmk if you're doing this again i'll be down

[fossil grove]

Ok

Prolly in 6 hours

Can u?

[opal hearth]

yeah fs

[fossil grove]

It takes like 20 mins to load the first time tho

Cause you don't have the models yet

[opal hearth]

all cool

[fossil grove]

@opal hearth

[verbal drum]

Man Timezones are crazy

I'm rn going to school

It's 7 am

[fossil grove]

lloll

sorry g

[verbal drum]

Nah I won't be able to play anyway cus I have a ton of school to do

[fossil grove]

close enough IG

[verbal drum]

Yea kind of a lack of trees but else fire

[fossil grove]

Tree overload

[median schooner]

Maybe put some actual trees in the foreground so they feel a little closer

[verbal drum]

Meh these blocks of fake trees look pretty nice reminds me of Gran Turismo 1

[median schooner]

I guess

[median schooner]

But compared to this they look very far away/small so i think having a layer of real trees in the foreground might make the map feel a little less open/empty

[verbal drum]

They are also pretty far away and the fog is mostly making them seem further away

[minor bronze]

@fossil grove after this map what will you make next? I'm planning to make Interlagos and it would be awkward if we made the same track twice in a row.

[fossil grove]

Holy shit

Ok I'll change then

Next I'll make Bathurst

[minor bronze]

No way you were planning on interlagos

[fossil grove]

Well well well

[minor bronze]

than i can change to suzuka, also a track i want to make

[fossil grove]

Nah I'm going with Bathurst

[fossil grove]

I'll try

I'm still trying to make a tree with depth without using prefabs since prefabs have like limits

And also with low polycount

[verbal drum]

Maybe Laguna seca

[verbal drum]

I love how realistic your maps look

[fossil grove]

runoff patterns finished

[fossil grove]

simply, lovely.

[verbal drum]

I love how this looks

[fossil grove]

ref images

@minor bronze do you still have your laptime checker mod? would really help if you could lendit to me

[minor bronze]

It's on the workshop

[verbal drum]

Sometimes I forget there is a workshop for mods

[fossil grove]

name?

[fossil grove]

thanks g

reflective window panels

[verbal drum]

Hoaw

[fossil grove]

?

anyways, it turns out that this track is also laptime accurate. (it's 2 minutes 26 seconds) I had a bit of skill issue going into the final chicane, but it's close enough

[fossil grove]

if ur asking how, basically trailmappers/trailmakers have the reflection based on alpha. so the more transparent something is, the less glossy it becomes. so to makesomething glossier, make the opacity higher.

on the images

first time using itand it turned out great I suppose

Looks so cool

This was actually my second attempt at making spa francorchamps

The old one was just super uncanny and just flat out horrible

[fossil grove]

I guess now it has a major glowup

[verbal drum]

How did you make the glass do reflective

[verbal drum]

Ohhh you made the thingys less opacity

https://klipy.com/gifs/i-saw-what-you-deleted-cat

[verbal drum]

Address me

[fossil grove]

No I make the glass higher opacity and the rest lower. The lower the opacity the less reflective

[verbal drum]

Either way you made smth with Les opacity

[fossil grove]

Smith?

[verbal drum]

Something with

[fossil grove]

Ye

Also you need to make your textures on low opacity by default

Or else it's gonna look super shiny

Which is exactly what happened to ur mountains

[verbal drum]

Yea uh didn't mess around with that

[fossil grove]

Just take the texture of the mountains, put it on Pixlr or something, lower the opacity, and then download the transparent background PNG file then import it into trailmappers

[verbal drum]

Gimp

[fossil grove]

Sure

[verbal drum]

I wish I could use my paid software for it

[fossil grove]

After a week of building, eau rouge and radillion is finished 🎉

rebrands.

It's actually Rolex and P zero, but idk this isjust funnier

only things I have to do left are, finishing the pits/paddocks, add fences, add tire barriers, and make technifutur campus francorchamps

[fossil grove]

Quick update: roadblocks

[agile plume]

this project is 🔥

[fossil grove]

thanks

[fossil grove]

Holy progress

[fossil grove]

how am I supposed to make this man

[verbal drum]

A lot of texturing else not that hard xd

[verbal drum]

This is so peak

[fossil grove]

wawaaaa

[verbal drum]

If only we had seen through textures

[fossil grove]

Proportion Gon be hell daeg

Let alone the texturing work

Ig I'll do it at school

I'm like 3 steps closer into finishing this then I can move onto lagoona seconds or bathub or whatever

[verbal drum]

I btw made a terrible mistake of doing my track on 5.0 cus I forgot that 5.0 blend files won't load on to older versions and my school has like 4.5

[fossil grove]

Nooo

[verbal drum]

Time to Install 5.0 on the school computer

[minor bronze]

@fossil grove do you have one texture for the ground or multiple? Currently I'm realising that i will probably have to make a higher res texture if i want to have good quality for texturing the ground.

[fossil grove]

I have multiple. Actually only 3. Sand, grass, and runoff asphalt. Each one has separate models

[verbal drum]

I have some grass textures I believe

[fossil grove]

@minor bronze yo seb can u help

[minor bronze]

With what?

[fossil grove]

U make mods right

[minor bronze]

Yes

[fossil grove]

can u vc?

[minor bronze]

No

[fossil grove]

ok

So

basically I need a mod where you can make sectors, and for example if someone is in a sector that is yellow flagged, there wil be a yellow flag on the screen. And the host can control in which sector the yellow flag is in.

The screen pop up wouldjust say "EV MODE"

and when the driver gets out of the yellow flaggedzone, the screen popup goes "green green, all good

@minor bronze

[minor bronze]

i don't think i have much free time this month(i have my drivers exam and mock exams), also I'm focused on finishing my map. I think like in april i could make it if you still want the mod

[fossil grove]

I have all year. Relax

take ur time

[fossil grove]

2nd pitlane WIP

[fossil grove]

80% finished.

[fossil grove]

@verbal drum

There's the lap

[minor bronze]

What is the top speed of the that car?

[fossil grove]

Caps out at 300 kph

[verbal drum]

Whoa ty

[fossil grove]

What for?

[verbal drum]

I was just curious

[fossil grove]

I figured outa way to make grass and gravel traps work, by putting these invisible waves. so now you can't just cut the track however you want.

Aaaand that's a wrap!

Project spa francorchamps is officially over. The mod will be released in the workshop, this forum, and in #1226065444364877835

[minor bronze]

To prevent cutting on my track, i just made the inside curbs very aggressive so you don't want to fully go over them

[agile plume]

I can't wait to drift this

[fossil grove]

You forgot to consider the fact that most effective cuts are done from the outside. Like having a better exit speed or cutting a chicane.

They still use regular apexes

[minor bronze]

yeah, but i didn't want to punish the player too much if they carry too much speed

[minor bronze]

do you think these white lines are good?

[fossil grove]

Yeah

Spot on

[verbal drum]

Custom models so it isn't possible

Or in other words it's very hard

[verbal drum]

Marry me

[fossil grove]

What on earth

[verbal drum]

Xd jk

These Screenshots just look great

[agile plume]

I got a good set of drift logic. It should be fine

[verbal drum]

I doubt it but I wish you luck

[verbal drum]

NGL I'm surprised you didn't make an Oreca 07 yet

[fossil grove]

Oreca 07?

Oh I just never Made lmp1s/lmp2s

[fossil grove]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3681587386

[verbal drum]

Man I wanna go for Laguna seca but also le mans I can't decide

[verbal drum]

What's the difference

[fossil grove]

Curbs and sponsors

[verbal drum]

Ok then you have my vote

[verbal drum]

Also uh I love Laguna seca so imma go with that

[fossil grove]

Alr

Meal is getting prepared

Estimated time: 1-2 weeks

[verbal drum]

I wish you luck xd

[fading current]

Loving the track
But it’s a bit narrow for tm sized builds to have a proper race

[strange knot]

Hell YEAH!

[strange knot]

U would need to have accurate size car, something like 8 widght and 20-25lenght at maximum

And make it "realistic" driving. I like it tbh

[strange knot]

Are all of these cars available on the workshop?

[verbal drum]

@fossil grove you uploaded your map wrong

[minor bronze]

yeah, his thumbnail is the one that trailmappers exports

also a lap in one of my very over steery cars

[verbal drum]

Wanna join a server with this map

[minor bronze]

nah, i'm doing a lap on my spa too

[verbal drum]

Damn

[fossil grove]

No...

[fossil grove]

Ik. I tried putting the thumbnail, just didn't work. Perhaps some of you can help?

[minor bronze]

well, for mods, when you upload a mod, it takes the Preview.png image and puts that one, but you need to be careful because when you export the map in trailmappers it replaces that file with it's own

[fossil grove]

Oh man

[strange knot]

:/

[minor bronze]

i think this is the wrong conversation

this is wheel grip on custom models related right? In this thread there was no discussion about it recently

[verbal drum]

Ops sry

I keep mixing up these 2 threads

[fossil grove]

Quick reupload with the correct thumbnail

[verbal drum]

Yat

Yay

[verbal drum]

How did you make the ground align so well with the road @fossil grove

[fossil grove]

select the right and left edges of the road, and separate it into a new mesh. After that extrude them outwards. When things start clipping especially in the inside of tight corners, just select the clipping terrain, press m, and click "merge on center"

@verbal drum

[verbal drum]

Hmmm

So you need to apply all modifierz

Modifiers

[fossil grove]

You don't

[fossil grove]

It's easier to jot

Not

You extrude down, and scale the y axis

So it becomes like a slope

[verbal drum]

I still don't exactly get it😭 😭 😭

[fossil grove]

From a front view

Here's how it would look like from a top slightly to the side

If you want a better look at it, just load my spa map, and see the edges of the road. It slightly slopes to the ground @verbal drum

[verbal drum]

But how did you then do the modifiers what did you do to it

[fossil grove]

I keep the kodifiers

Modifiers*

Array and curve

I don't even apply them

Just directly export

[verbal drum]

How does the ground fit so we'll to the road😭 😭 😭

[fossil grove]

I extrude

[verbal drum]

From where😭 😭 😭

[fossil grove]

Wait

Ok

So here's what u gotta do

In your road mesh,

You need to apply the array modifier

Connect the start and end of the roads

And then hit alt, and select the outer side of your road, hit "p", and select "separate selected" or whatever it says. And then you extrude it out on the separated mesh I usually call "line". If there are overlapping faces from extrusion, select the outer vertices of the overlapping faces. Hit "m" and select "on center" and voila. A workflow for terrains. For the terrains outside of the barrier, I just either make my own mesh or use the built in landscape plugin.

@verbal drum

There you go blobbinham

If you need any more help just dm me

Or vc ig

[verbal drum]

SO YOU DID APPLY SMTH

😭 😭 😭 😭

[fossil grove]

Oh yeah I did

I forgot
