    Sounds cool, I'll do it for you.;) But I thought this was a drag way, but with overpasses and bridges??

    Its not just a plain jane drag strip man! There is a highway connecting multiple towns and the towns will have the drag strips located in them lol. I want to make a very realistic map :p

    Video is up, just a quick run with a 500hp moonhawk. As you can see the map has a long ways to go

    Now watching that helped allot! Yeah now I see, its very good! I love it. Well your getting to the realistic part of your map.;) But I did notice one small detail (which btw, I look for when one makes a video):p Needs a little tweaking, lol. And you said you needed objects made?

    Good news everyone! :) Holland will be assisting me with the map. He will be handling a lot of the 3D models I'lll need for it. And he will help wth a lot of other things as well. I'm not the best so with Holland helping we will deliver a solid map that everyone will enjoy.

    Please check the first post for some new pictures of the progress! Map is coming along nicely!

    Plans to add a circuit track and a rally course have now replaced the 1 mile and 1/2 mile strips do to the limited size of the map.

    Re: Interstate 707 - Co-Author Holland - Update! 11/19!

    Just a heads up this map is not going to die.

    Some new information..


    The name of the map has been changed from Drag Highway to Interstate 707. That map will still consist of the same content, I just felt a name change was necessary.

    I am working thoroughly on creating graphics for the map, to customize it and personalize it. You guys will really love this map when its finished.

    I built this bridge for the map. Textures will come later on but this is one of the few things you will come across in the map that you arent familiar with :).

    Many more things to come that should stir interest :)

    I am not sure if this actually affects FPS, but is that bridge made of lots of different shapes? Or did you model it yourself?
    One reason why I would be concerned if the shapes affect performance, is an area on the Insane Testing map; it is a large ramp on the back of the map (according to the position you spawn in), and at the bottom, I lag, A LOT, and I think it is because it is supposed to shred the vehicles.

    Its just one object, i watched my fps, it doesnt get bothered much at all with the bridge spawned in. im not good enough to make a high poly 3d object that could bring a computer to its knees lol

    Oh okay, I was just wondering, since you said it was a unique object I assumed that it was made of multiple polys. Anyways, how's other progress on the map? Any loosely-made release date?

    Well its slowly progressing, life is always more important but when i get the time i work on the map. I'm going to make a bunch of 3d objects just to get them out of the way.

    That's okay. (At the rate school is going for me, it would easily take me 34 times as long to finish something :p)

    Working on some sign supports etc.. Got alot more of them to make but heres a taste.

    ss (2013-11-19 at 12.28.34).jpg ss (2013-11-19 at 12.32.30).jpg

    still need to add the cross arms going across the center part. This is what i've gotten done since my last post :p

    - - - Updated - - -

    Re: Interstate 707 - Co-Author Holland - Update! 11/19!

    Heres some of the things i finished up on today.

    Made a good bridge for the first exit, a smaller overhead interstate sign support, 4 different light poles (single-short, single-long, dual-short, dual-long).

    ss (2013-11-19 at 11.32.31).jpg

    If you are interested in using any of my models for your map pm me. Please note I dont have any textures on any items yet.

    Going to start making some signs and other stuff.

    *spoiler* got a very big project to do in the future, involves a circuit track with 2 bridges passing over the interstate :).


    just finished the first sign. This is a small sign that can be placed anywhere. Slap a texture on it and u have you pretty exit sign :).
    ss (2013-11-20 at 12.57.59).jpg ss (2013-11-20 at 01.01.58).jpg

    This 'small' variant is just the first, I plan to make a medium and a large with the same structure.

    And lastly, the ground version of the same sign..

    Re: Interstate 707 - Co-Author Holland - :)New Stuff!! 11/20!

    With a working computer now and some time, i had to start with an older version of the map but I can promise you guys im not giving up on this map! I have a very awesome plan in store for this map, the image im going to post is ugly but gives you guys an idea of the mountains you will soon get to travel on, snowy dangerous slick mountains they will be :)

    nevergonnagiveup.png

    Just started doing my quick sculpting, this map will be gorgeous whenever its finished! With the size and the level of detail I plan to put into this map, its going to take a long time. Holland is no longer helping me because he lost interest. But the map will go on and will eventually be finished!
