Blender Track Making Tutorial Videos (Request Thread)

[DannyMackey]

Been feeling like going over track related Blender tutorials, but I'm not sure what you guys would be interested in learning.  I'm looking to put together a video this weekend for a topic or two in Blender.  I work mostly in 2.49, but can offer a little bit of help in 2.6.  Just post in here what you guys need help with/want to know, anything from the basics of Blender pertaining to track making, to setting up/baking tracks, to how to make obstacles, just make a post and I'll add it to a list in this post.

 

To Do List:

• Basic Tutorial (General Introduction)
• Constructing double jumps w/ triangle side jumps
• Exporting non-collidable props w/o Toolkit
• How to build a stadium
• How to make a simple Chicago style track
• Baking tracks
• How to make a simple So-Cal style track
• Texturing Stadiums
• Creating a custom layout that works/flows.

 

As a note to everyone, when I make my tutorials and share what I do.  And what I do may not be exactly what someone else may do and there may even be a better way to do it, so take it for what it is, and if you notice something and want to share it, go ahead.  The key reason I'm doing this is to help everyone be better at making stuff and not forcibly making everyone follow one way of making stuff.

Could you do a basic tutorial covering all the aspects?

I want to get into track making but it frustrates me and then I usually just give up.

Exporting Non-Collidable props without Toolkit would be nice.

How to track.

[MJFAN]

I'd really like to know how to do the bakes!

[IceCreamMan13]

maybe a basic soCal style tutorial?

[Connor Richardson]

I've been wanting to know how to texture stadiums properly. I'm okay at making tracks but when it comes to texturing I'm terrible.

[maxdfandan555]

Maybe make one on how to click would be nice

[Mark Colineri]

Creating a custom layout that works/flows.

I would appreciate one with start-up through building jumps.  Like where to save the props to and how to open then and import them into blender and creating jumps with those.  Importing cars and such is what i have struggled with most.  I've tinkered with ramps and stadiums but still don't know how to get props onto the model. I would really appreciate that as it would be really helpful.

[DannyMackey]

Just as a reminder, I am doing the videos.  I've recorded the first one already, but since I got my new computer I haven't gotten my editing software set up to finish it.

Necro bump for interest, I been wanting to just learn something simple like importing an existing track and redoing layouts. Would love some dos/donts, tips and tricks do be somewhat decent at it.
