Re: Riverside Expressway You've been doing some serious homework, especially in understanding the workings of meshes. The screens and gifs of your work progress are most welcome and exhilarating. Maps like this are exactly why I'm about to plop down cash on a GTX870m equipped laptop.
Re: Riverside Expressway May I just say: Thank you sir. As far as BeamNG goes, yes we/they are going for an insanely realistic, yet fun game. I was seriously impressed when I saw your screenshots! I very much like that you addressed the unsmooth 30 degree angles/unsmooth transitions and have fixed that. Ive been waiting for a map like this! I seriously can't wait until you put it up for download and I will post if I run into any issues/glitches. P.S. Are you going to make an fps version? Because I would like an actual full map with everything since my pc would be capable of running it, and seeing how amazing the city would look!
Re: Riverside Expressway He said it runs 40% better than dry rock island, so I would say your good, it looks like not a lot of vegetation is there. I think you will be fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Re: Riverside Expressway Awesome map. Best map for a "Chase: Movie" video. Send from my IPhone using Tapatalk
Re: Riverside Expressway Today's update coming a little late: Just finished modeling the final roads that connect up to the expressway. Tomorrow I'll split this large mesh into 4 parts, texture it and import it into BeamNG. (imported from here) I typically divide roads into lanes during the modeling process to streamline texturing work and help create good poly flow for hilly or cambered roads. A good sign of a smooth road is when, in Blender, wireframe view doesn't display any interior edges.
Re: Riverside Expressway All roads complete! (imported from here) Half the map now looks like this: (imported from here) ... and the other half looks like this: (imported from here) How would everyone feel about a beta release in this state? I won't be able to work on it much this week (urgent uni assignment), but I could do up an initial release for tomorrow. Essentially all that's missing now is buildings, which will probably take a few weeks to complete.
Re: Riverside Expressway Yes... Oh god yes, please. I want to cruise some expressways. Cruising some Australian expressway, too bad there isn't any Australian pedestrians to hit too. *I kid*
Re: Riverside Expressway Looks absolutely stunning man! Release a version if you want to. No rush. Seems like you still have a bit left to do. You are great at making this stuff I really hope you keep adding roads and make an even bigger map. Sent through the stars by my Galaxy with a Note for you!
Re: Riverside Expressway Amazing job with this map! I fixed one of the screenshots because it didn't look very Australian, now it is.
Re: Riverside Expressway I'd be happy with a release in this state, I just hope it won't end up as one of those countless other half finished urban maps that populated RoR. I don't care if it's small, I just don't want roads dead ending without reason (the closed signs are a good idea), or going into nowhere.
