[henarky]

thank you for this beautifully constructed tutorial. This has helped me create my first assetto track, which was just a basic NASCA oval shaped banked track.

 

[jarodyi]

i am new in making a track ,but i use 3dsmax good
i wanna know how many nessary object i must build in 3dsmax ?
and i just need to named them just when i start the original mesh?

 

[jarodyi]

i just wanna to make a very simple track can work in ac, even just a plane without anything, plz help me, tks

 

[luchian]

Hello @jarodyi
You should start very simple in this case:
- add a plane, name it 1ROAD, for example
- add a few spawn objects. Depending on the mode you plan to test your track in (practice, hotlapping, race) you will need different spawn objects so you might just make them right from the beginning Once you've done one of them, it's just a matter of copy/paste and renaming afterwards .

About naming, you can do your modelling however you wish, but when your track is ready for export, you need to respect the naming convention, otherwise the AC engine does not know how to interpret what you have created.

So, to recap:
- make one plane, give it a material
- add spawn points (AC_START_0, AC_PIT_0, AC_HOTLAP_START_0 should be enough). In case of error, you might need to add at least one pair of timing objects: AC_TIME_0_L, AC_TIME_0_R.

Feel free to ask here in case of need (but don't hesitate to read the guide in the first page) .

What export settings do you use ?
Can you attach the logs please ?

I find the key!

I am using chinese path in fbx file change it into english is ok

 

[jarodyi]

another question:

why I maped the object in 3dsmax seems correct,but wrong in sdk and game? how to adjust it?

and how I know what the Material list in sdk use for?

 

[luchian]

For the materials, for a few basic ones, you can watch THIS.
For the issue with UV mapping, I need to get home (in 6h or so); I have seen the problem in 3dsmax but don't remember by heart the name of the setting (using Blender myself). As a general rule, just play with the tile, as there are 2 options: tile the texture inside the UVmap or tile the UVmap itself. And only one works ok in editor .

thank you ,waiting for your

Try using UVW Xform modifier on your road mesh.

 

[jarodyi]

i ues loft tu make kerb , got right texture
but when i use poly to make kerb, i don't know how to texture it in right way .
but i like poly kerb ,it looks like better
how u do kerb ?

 

[jarodyi]

sorry , net promblem !

 

[luchian]

I'm not sure I understand..
Could you maybe share a 3d file ? (you can isolate it and leave only this kerb inside it)

like this , i got right view in 3dsmax with two kerrb, but only loft kerb view right in ac editor , poly kerb with pathdeform got the wrong texture view , u can see me file ,thanks a lot

 

[luchian]

Ahm, now at least I understood your problem . Unfortunately, I use Blender myslef, and don't really know how to advice on the 3dsmax behaviour.. I would suppose it's question of "applying" the modifiers to your meshes so the changes remain permanent when exporting.

Also, when trying to export from max to fbx, I get these 2 warning, maybe it can help to steer you in the right direction:

Warning: Turned Edges (1)
The FBX Plug-in has detected turned edges on Editable Poly objects. If you wish to retain edge orientation, you will need to enable the 'Preserve edge orientation' option in order to enable the plug-in to convert the affected Editable Poly objects to Editable Mesh objects and automatically triangulate them. The following Editable Poly objects are affected:
-KERB1

Warning:Geometry conversion (1)
The plug-in does not support the following objects' geometry type and will convert them to editable meshes. Morph and skin deformations may be lost. If 'Enable in Viewport' is deactivated, closed shapes are capped and open shapes are converted to dummy objects with no edges or faces. If 'Enable in Viewport' is active, the Viewport settings are used for the mesh conversion:
-KERB1

 

[jarodyi]

why i only get right shadow in less than 1-2m? farther shadow like a shit....

how to do with it?

 

[luchian]

It's not a problem with the track itself; it's linked to AC (and/or video card) video settings. I don't know to advise best settings - you can try playing with shadow quality, anisotropic filtering and mip-maps levels and see what you can achieve. Change one setting at a time so you can judge impact.

..and if you find the holy grail, please post back .

 

[jarodyi]

ok,i am back

now I start to fill my track with grass. but a big promblem is I don't know how to make the texture more natural between Road and grass , grass and sand , like the pic.

it's a model skill or texture skill?
