Tracks The Snake (Mulholland Highway) Malibu - Assetto Corsa

[Ben O'Bro]

Thanks for the clear info ;-)

Here is something you may have thought about already - Patreon may be a valid way for you towage interest of users who actually would be willing to support the making of a difficult project like this.

I see how one user here is building the Targa Florio track (another monumental undertaking for the AC1 engine) and the development of the track is communicated through his Patreon account.

You may find this an interesting way.

yeah i know
i supported Targa for a while
also supporting Ilja for his work on Shader patch etc.

Thing is, in my opinion.
As soon as you ask people for money, and in this case on a regular basis, you also stress yourself on delivering content on said regular basis...And then it becomes to sound like a job, and less fun

I completely agree with this. Got to find a good balance--I think people should get paid for their hard work, but this is also a fun hobby so I don't want to pressure anyone.

Related to the thread, I just found this. Related? Looks very intriguing.

The Snake

The Snake is a renowned 2 mile section of the Mulholland Highway which climbs into the Santa Monica mountain range in Malibu, California.

At the moment this is just a highly tesselated mesh (especially along the mountain ridges) with a 12k satellite diffuse texture lined up over the top...

This was to be another "small" test area... Then I saw the surrounding roads....

Kanan Road

A long open, high speed, mostly 4 lane road going through 3 tunnels.

Latigo Canyon Road
Which in my opinion looks even better than the Snake, this road is much longer than 2 miles, and has a severe lack of guardrails, and amazing corners.

Sometime in 2018 I'll release an early version, starting with "The Snake" section.
I took these screenshots in game (with added reference images). As I was curious to see if it would load with the amount of edges it currently has.

You picked a few of our best roads. I remember getting my DL at 16 and flipping through the Thomas guide looking for the sickest roads. And thats where I found my 1st canyon. Decker canyon Rd, Then I became obsessed with them and the list grew. Up to Latigo, (a must have, I love you dude!) All the way up to my favorite, one I think you should add. Its just a bit up the road from 'Tigo. Its called Yerba Buena. And if you could add the road sign about a 16th of a mile into the canyon, (the wiggle arrow, + next 9 miles. ) That road sign makes me wanna skeet when I see it. If I go back up PCH sometime soon I will take some high red shots of it for you.

I dont go as much these day since I don't drive a car anymore. I have motorcycles. And I just hate having my cornering ability halved.


Thank you so much for the excellent work.
