Some wip projects

I have decided to try something else for a little while.

Do someone here know how to create .aiw files for new tracks?

Looks interesting!

AndreasFSC · Apr 25, 2020

Can anyone see what track it is?

Littlefysh · Apr 25, 2020

I've no idea where that is. Can we have the continent as a clue?

AndreasFSC · Apr 25, 2020

It is Europe. Kind of.

I can also tell it is a conversion. My plan is to replace most of the objects with something that looks similar but with higher detail and new textures of course, but keep the "soul" of the old track.

Some more probably useless clues:

One lap takes about one minute in a super touring car in the original version
Curbs are green and white

Alpine Climb from ToCA 2

A mix of new and old models, new, old, none and distorted mapping, and some mixed textures. I think it will be a cool track in the end.
I will but some effort in making the track surface smooth. If someone wants to help with making a aiw file later please contact me.
I need some help with placing the waypoints. I can edit and tweak it myself

And a reminder how the original looks:

Wow, that's a treasure hunt waaaayyyyy beyond my ability

So it's fictional then?

AndreasFSC · Apr 27, 2020

Yes it is fictional, but it is real for a toca2 fan

I think of it as the mini Spa track of toca2

It'll certainly be interesting, and a new experience for me personally. Just because the track is fictional certainly doesn't mean the racing isn't real!

I forgot that track was in the game, I used to love some of the Toca test track layouts, one was particularly fun to race on.

AndreasFSC · Apr 30, 2020

A lot has been done, but it is hard to see. A lot of textures are placeholders (so don't worry about the strange colors or tiled grass), and there is much UV-mapping left to do, but I think it will be nice.

That looks awesome

Hopefully you can do other secret tracks from ToCA 2, if you have time that is

AndreasFSC · May 1, 2020

Looking better now, but a lot of work left.

I really enjoyed one of the medium (?) layouts of the test track. Maybe I could convert that track later.

It is difficult to convert from Toca 2. The process so far:
1. Open game files in Toca2 edit, convert to 3ds and ppx.
2. Import in Zmodeller 2, and quickly make a copy before the model got distorted (this took a lot of try and errors)
A lot of work to simplify and remove duplicated faces and setting matererials.
3. Then export to Sketchup to add detail and remodel some parts.
Then export to .dae and after many problems with crashes and distorted models and some experimenting with Blender and .obj files importing in 3dsimed...
4. Sending files as .gmt between 3dsimed and zmodeller 2 for editing and uv-mapping updates, flipping polygons and painting textures.

All this is quite new to me, so next project would probably not be so complicated

You should try to reduce the switching between the program. Why not import the 3ds in Blender and do everything there? You just need 3DSimEd later to bring the gmt in the game...
