    Well I'm getting started on the map as I realized I didn't have to wait till the game is released hehehe, I'll keep this post updated as I'm making progress. Right now I'm watching some tutorials as the Torque3d world editor is a bit different than the one in Call of Duty, but I don't think it'll be a problem. I'll take as an example the IDIADA facility in spain. It's used by euroncap for it's tests as well as others facilities like this over Europe. You can expect things like this in this map:

    Cool idea, I like the idea of having a realistic test facility.

    While you're at it, I've been dieing to see some tests like the ones in this video as well. I suppose you might be able to fit them in :)

    I honestly for a split second thought that image was a BeamNG screenshot, purely reacting to the colours before my brain could analyze the thumbnail properly. LJFHutch really does a kick-ass job with his colour selection.

    Ok time for some pictures :cool: I haven't done much today because I've been watching some tutorials, practicing with the editor, installing blender to import the models, etc etc etc. And it hasn't much detail right now, I like to finish the basic structure of the map and where all the things are going to be located and then start placing all the objects to it.

    That huge box has the size of a car, you can fit a car in it, I use it as a reference.

    ok a little update. I finally fixed a problem I had with the material editor that was setting the same texture to almost every object omg xD. That and finding 3d models over the internet is mostly all I've done today, so I'll post a picture with what I have and some random objects :D. Tomorrow will be pure map making, let's see how much I can do tomorrow.

    It looks nice but the grass and dirt seems a bit funny, maybe because the grass is so green? Is it astroturf? Other than that I can't wait to use this :D

    I don't know how big exactly but I wanna have all sorts of test in it so you can test your car in lots of ways :D

    hahah I know, it was the first textures I found on google images lol. But don't worry all those textures can be changed in less than a minute :D

    Can you provide proof that you have persmission? I'm sorry for asking this but, if you happen to take a visit to the RoR forums, you will see exactly why I am asking this.

    Also, good luck with the map, can't wait to go romping around on it once BeamNg comes out and it is released. Keep up the great work. :)

    Yeah, I trust you but it would be nice to see written. Nadeox nearly got accused of that in pro dev screens

    Re: Euroncap facility for Beamng

    They are all free license (you can use it for whatever you want as long as you don't sell them) and there are 2 other models that I need to give credit to the people who made them, no problem with that, they'll love to see their job in a game (they actually say it in the models description) :D so no problem with permissions.

    thx :D. I decided to make a circuit with all kinds of tests, and also a big empty parking lot in the middle of the map with some obstacles in case you just want to crash :D

    Here are 2 pictures of the first stage of the circuit, the huge ramp and the off-road track (there are 2 off-road tracks, 1 light with sand for normal cars and then the harder one). But you can always skip the circuit and go straight to the empty parking lot with obstacles that will be in the center of the map. Next step of the circuit I'll make will be something like the last picture.

    Sure ;). The traffic signs have 542 polygons, the cones 270, one road block object has 800 polygons and the other 170, the trees are 1000 polygons average, etc.
