Another day, another track.

I dare you to make a track that looks bad

May I ask where is maxdman I haven’t seen him in awhile and his tracks are top notch 

I'm here, and have been here all along.  Just no longer making content as other real life things have taken priority.  While I appreciate the comment, just scroll up LITERALLY one post, @TheOnlyTjrich is making arenas and content that none of mine came close to.  There's a lot of great things coming out from other people too, but more than likely my map creation is done for.

But as long as this site stays alive, I'll be here.  Lurking....

So I know I've shown some of these off before but I think its about time I showed them all off together, these tracks are all made for a league I plan to start soon, this depends of course on if I can actually host an event. I'm not going to go into what the tour is about because that can be for it's own forum post but I will at least show off the tracks.

*Note these tracks are all barely average and I made them all over the span of months, while I could go back and improve them, unless stated otherwise, I no longer want to work on them anymore

*Still a Work In Progress

*Gotta fix paint

*Still a Work In Progress

I plan to get things like a test event started soon, I mainly wanted to have everything involving the league to be done before it gets started. There is no planned date on when I want to run this league but expect info soon.

The creativity here is seriously awesome.  Great job on these!

New Project - Payne Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

{Any criticism is highly encouraged) you can send them to me on discord {Mario Ortega#8153}

 

Edit crowd texture on the x axis so the same row isn't repeated over and over.  Right now looks like identical twins sat in every single row above and below itself

Took you long enough.

But also, too many people, looks like much risk, unsure, needs less fake 2D high risk people

As someone who loves super detailed and accurate replicas, the fact that you added accurate RV's makes it so impressive and so much more immersive.  Major props to you

Surprised no one has posted this yet.  Joe Sylvester continued to launch his new tour, The Outlaw Monster Truck Drags, and the first three events are being held without spectators and on Pay-Per-View on Fite.tv.  All three shows at the same location, but different tracks for each, 3 different monster truck classes, (Mini, Mega trucks, and the big bogs).  I'm pretty excited about this.  Each show is $19.99, or you can buy all three for a $44.99 bundle pack.  Three shows for less than 50 bucks, pay-per-view, unlimited re-watches, and the best part, the more money they sell on PPV the more of a cut each team gets.  

Show 1 PPV ----> https://www.fite.tv/watch/the-outlaw-monster-truck-drags/2p7cv/

Show 2 PPV ---> https://www.fite.tv/watch/the-outlaw-monster-truck-drags-r2/2p7lx/

Show 3 PPV ---> https://www.fite.tv/watch/the-outlaw-monster-truck-drags-r3/2p7ly/

Trio Bundle Pack ---> https://www.fite.tv/watch/outlaw-monster-truck-drags-trio-pack/2p7m7/

Almost feel like this should get its own thread and post to help everyone involved out.  We all miss monster trucks, this is not only going to fill that void, but might make PPV events more of a norm

@Edy This is some really really awesome stuff.  Takes tracks to the next level.  If we figure out a better way to make trees or have leaves blow in the wind that would be perfect.  

Now please make a tutorial so we can incorporate this stuff lol

Finishing up a track that Frank (monsterjam0000) made in like 2013/14 sometime. I have just done a few edits, added new cars and textured it. 

You're getting better with each one, nicely done!  I want to echo Chris' suggestion of baking.  A simple shadow bake gives the model much more depth and a sense of realism.

Also nice work on the 3D crowd!  Next time I would move the texture map in the texture panel in Blender to the right or left so that each row of spectators isn't the exact same copy of people.  You can still copy and duplicate the faces in the Blender model/mesh but move the texture map so each row doesn't have red shirt guy sitting next to white shirt guy over and over. 

Last thing, something I've noticed on a few of your recent tracks are the car textures.  The detail in the actual texture seems to disappear when you add a color to it.  I suggest to use the car/vehicle textures off of Chris' Show Jam 2020, Jack Merkle's Tampa 2007, or any of Danny's Sim-Monsters All Star Challenge tracks, then in your photo editor move the hue/color tone which would change the blue colored car texture, to a red colored texture (depending on where the slider is on the color wheel or scale).  I do this for all of my car/vehicle textures that way the detail in the texture isn't lost but the color of the car/vehicle texture is changed.

One more custom Gaithersburg.  This one could lead to some really interesting and great racing.  Chicago style but starting in the middle over a steep bus jump. 

This custom as well as the other custom Gaithersburg on the previous SYP page is packed together and pending approval.

Before you look or tear into me and assault my dreams let me address a couple possible concerns lol:

No the jumps AND their paints are not finished or final. The paints are place holders for these screenshots only and for me to get an idea of how it's going

The stadium will be as close to accurate as I can personally get it so dont worry about the stadium having incorrect or missing textures etc.

Just wanted to show that someone IS attempting to make a better WF 8. Hope you like it so far

Two things I noticed.  When you have two cars stacked on top of one another, crush down the roof of the car on the bottom of the stack since it can't/won't support the car on top in real life.  Plus I would recommend using a bit of variety of your crush car vehicles so it doesn't look like each car is a carbon copy of it.  Looking good so far!

MaxDman,  

What about the one year Zane with is promotional company did over & under track there.  But with the rain they had change it up last minute...

As TMTT's photog, I'll provide reference photos for all of our tracks if people will make more. Cajundome is close, but needs a little work. I would REALLY like to see last year's Grand Forks. Or even 2018's. 

PM me a link with reference photos for last years Grand Forks.  That one has been on my list and I would like to eventually take a stab at it.
