mark do you have a blend file for that fall madness fairgrounds id like to see if i can make any cool tracks on there

 

All you have to do is import it into blender and retexture it. It's not too difficult

Joliet 2016's almost done modeling-wise

(Those weird looking circle things by the light poles are trees, they just look funny in solid view)

Also,

My spin-off of Night Life is coming along great. Yalls ain't ready for what's in store...

(That back thing's gonna be lexan)

so heres this., I used the middle ramp from Roanoke  so don't be mad

 

Looks okay for a start, but the dirt textures don't match up. Make sure you use the correct ones for the jumps and floor. Also, I strongly recommend baking and then overlaying it for your jumps; it will give it realistic shadows (Thargo has a tutorial on that on YouTube).

i have my external fov to 60 and internal to 75 and mine looks fine.

Thanks, tried those settings and everything now looks way better. Turns out it was internal FOV screwing me up. Looks like I'll be spending some time tomorrow moving my stuff over to .4  

Ryan wins racing, Buetow wins FS in STL. Freestyle had a ton of breakages and stuff, not many wow moments  

Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, but i think the officials were a little trigger happy with Tom and Damon

Toms new chassis

MJ says something bigs coming to STL tonight. Claims "we've been requesting it for years". Some say full live stream, while others say Bigfoot. I say King Sling based on their photos recently

night life 

 

This is my custom truck and it specifically said in the description that you need permission to use it. I'm sorry, but you will need to pick a different truck

Random question that's kind of on topic...

I've recently decided to make the switch to .4.6, which is indeed a massive improvement to my old version, .38. However, the one thing that's really bugging me about .4 is the default camera angle. The depth of field of the 3rd person camera make every track I'm on seem huge and stretched, which is really different and kind of annoying. The cinematic and first person are fine, but usually I drive 3rd person. I've tried adjusting the default FOV in the settings and turning camera pitching on/off, but it still comes out like this. My question is is there anyway to go into my files and just copy and paste my camera settings from .38? If so, how? Here's a comparison... (.38 on the left, .4 on the right)

Thanks in advance!

can somebody help with when your erasing paint so it looks like a truck drove over it so it looks more realistic 

Sure

I use the clone stamping tool on a low opacity. What this does is translate a certain part of the picture over your spot, but doesn't completely cover it. Make sure you're also using a really soft brush when using it to make sure it flows. Use google (i'm sure there's some tutorials) to practice getting used to the tool, cause I can't really explain it in detail.

EDIT

Since I'm nice, here's some tutorials

Gimp:

Paint.net:

BKTs are corporate pieces of junk.

Personally, I liked Ukraines the best. They were simple, looked sick, and I think they were pretty durable.

Finally had some time to work on Joliet after 3 days away. Coming along well...

As per Joyride, that isn't actually for Wrecking Crew. That chassis is going to be for Jim. This has seemed to go seemingly overlooked and not talked about at all, but 2017 is Avengers 20th anniversary, and he is building a new chassis for himself.

 

Speaking of Joyride, absolutely awesome film. 2 hours of great action, behind the scenes, and interviews. The ending, with Jim's monologue about how monster trucks started in the Pontiac Silverdome and how he started, fast forwarding to today, was a great way to end the film and actually gave me the chills. Highly recommend picking it up for the holiday season. 

That logo is sick. Anyhow, really hope Jim's new piece will put him back in the spot light. If it's anything like Rage, he should be a contender for some more stadium fs wins. Lol seems like all the MTT drivers are getting new chassis (Jones, Garner, Rummel, now Kohler etc)

Also, anyone know if they're actually gonna come out with a digital release of Joyride? I know they said something about it. Would much rather watch it on my phone than as a Dvd

m8 no one's keeping you to tracks only. I respect your decision if it's your decision, just letting you know that no one here has any opinion on what you have to make. Just saying.

Made this and if you don't want to help me with the paint you can suck my duck *coughchrisbcough

 

 

 

 Nah, I only supposed to make tracks now, and Diggers are too hard to paint 

Monster Nationals line ups just came out for 2017. It includes:

-Bigfoot (Probably Lucas Oil)

-Hotsy

-Tailgator

-Predator (Weird choice)

-Venom

Ballistic's also on the Du Quoin line up

Hopefully this means that Mark Hall will be able to drive for Monster Jam in 2017

From this year, it would have to be Tom's save from Indy where he literally ran over Lucas Oil Crusader (at Lucas Oil Stadium lol)

Of all time...

Either this:

Or getting to chat with Derick Anson (Heavy Hitter) on and off over 2 days at the Soaring Eagle. Lol he literally had a room 2 doors down from us. Staying at Sunset Station in Vegas is always fun too, even was in an elevator with Dennis Anderson and Chris Bergeron lol.
