Yeah, my first official CS set so dont be too hard on me ;)

I tought why is there no good CS for go karts?

So then I started with this Set for now i have a tube for the kart (the entrance section) and im busy on the corner (its not going quite well but ill fix that)

Screens: (note:dont look at the corner piece!)

Wow, that model is really good for a first set attempt! I'm curious as to how many poly's that tunnel has.

[radio538goeroe]

a lot! I think.

[Amplifyed]

^You may need to reduce it a little for RCT. Otherwise, it's great!

[LoneWolf7]

what they said ^ and...good luck

[BJK]

This looks awesome, cannot wait! :D

[Coaster Freak]

YOu need to reduce the poly count on that tunnel!


But it looks good.

[stu-2693]

yea, one thing... it isnt CS yet...

[radio538goeroe]

I know I have to reduce polys. And it isnt CS yet becouse I havent grouped the textures yet and I havent imported it yet. :D

Edit:

Enough ploly reduce or does it need more reduce?:

Looks good, But It seems wierd i only started a set just like this yesterday before you. Hmmm....

[radio538goeroe]

Well I'm not doing this to be against you or something i Just liked the idea! And I allready was thinking about making a Set for Go Karts a long time but I didn't really had good idea's! Im NOT gonna copy any stuff you do! I swear!! Everything ill make for this set will be straight from the brain :D

Or requests ofcourse :D

[Coaster Freak]

It looks fine now!

[stu-2693]

things to think about :

any lines which you do not want to see, shouldn't be there, IE if there is a line going across the bottom left of your arch, the chances are that there are polygons inside your arch, therefore you could delete the undersides of the arch and any on the inside.

in sketchup, split circles and curves at vertexes and ends, not midpoints, this often means planning ahead slightly, here is what i mean:

http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr105/doughnuts3000/pic3.png

count the triangles, the first was split at the midpoint of a line, it has 12 triangles shown. the second however was split at the ends, it has 9 triangles, a total of 3 less.

that was a quarter cylinder, if you did something like that with a whole cylinder you would have 12 more polygons than you could have had, i know that sounds like nothing, but trust me, it soon adds up ;)

feel free to experiment :up: the circumference of the outer part of the arch is more than the centre, therefor you could have... maybe 10 sides on the outer bit and 7 on the inside ;)

do not be afraid to go too low either, you may need more sides for big things, but for smaller things sometimes you can get away with 2 or 3 sides, after they are smoothed you cannot tell the difference :up:

what you have already is not bad at all, in fact, it is pretty good compared to some, just skimp every were possible, and think outside the box :D often polygons hide were you least expect them, so look there first :haha: however, do not skimp so much that it looks really bad, no one likes cubes :p

[Anubislive]

I send you a private message! check your inbox!

[Dr.Pest]

its very nice !! thanks for the beta !!

[radio538goeroe]

Anubis live joined me in the process!

Things we are gonna make:
(it can get more)

A litter bin made from tires!
A bench (dont know from what exactly)

Maybe some track covers like: Dirt/ asphalt NEW / asphalt OLD.

Actually, the benches are also from tires.... First one is a set of two chairs, and the second one is a bench. + I started with a cool sign from a alpha texture.... here they are:

Just the "RACE PLANET" sign with black borders are mine,

a set of 2 seats per square made out of a tire

A bench (suitable for 2 peeps) also a tire!

[radio538goeroe]

Jup and i made the litter bin from?

You guessed... TIRES!

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk163/radio538goeroe/prullenbak.jpg
Slight idea I might put a diagonal tire next to it so it doesnt looks like 1 pole but its a little more getting like some tires put together.

[Doffy]

Very nice idea! I can think of a lot of people who would use this.

[Anubislive]

It's a nice litter bin, but how many poly's does it have?

[radio538goeroe]

3796 whoops! Ill reduce them :D

Stu is gonna do them for me :D

[janjoosy]

Leuk gemaakt man ! Erg mooi

[radio538goeroe]

translation for you english guys: Nice job man, really beautiful.

Edit:

Can som1 tell me how to make Semi transparent textures like tinted glass? Maybe recolorable as well :D

[arthurr]

Plaats dit is op rctland joh;)

looks nice my friend.

[PB&J]

Can som1 tell me how to make Semi transparent textures like tinted glass? Maybe recolorable as well :D

It is actually quite easy, first you need to open up an image editing program. (I will walk you through this as GIMP). Start by adding an alpha channel(Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha channel). Choose your eraser tool, underneath the settings there is a slider that adjusts how much the eraser erases, adjust it depending on how opaque you want the glass.(Make sure you start out with a shade of white). Run the eraser over it, you should be able to see a checkerboard pattern coming through as you erase. Save it. Apply it to your model. In the importer, when creating your OVL, while loading the textures...there is a window that pops up whenever you load a texture, you want the settings to be "Use internal alpha channel," and "One color." Ounce you do this, load your model, next to where you set your textures to their groups, there is a default setting of "SIOpaque" you want to change this to "SIAlpha."(Be sure you are using the new importer). If you are not sure about some of these things, Vodhin has made some great tutorials on alphas and re-colorable textures.

[MeJayBe]

Wow, this set looks really good. I especially like the tires as benches. Will be very interesting to see what else comes out of it.

looks nice my friend.
He did already (heeft hij al gedaan, of anders iig nederlandse verkeersset).
