Realized just this past week it’s been over 5 months since I last posted an update on the Autodrome de Miramas. I had intended to post more regular updates, but my son was born in November and work got busier in January so I just haven’t had the time. I still find time here and there throughout the week to work on stuff, just not to take pictures or record replays. I’ve made a lot of progress since the last update though. Almost literally everything has been completely reworked. I don’t think there’s a single mesh or texture I haven’t modified, most of it quite significantly. A (non-exhaustive) list of changes:
- Replaced the awful ksPerPixelMultiMap ground shader with ksMultilayerFresnel shader (that was a beast to get right)
- Improved tree textures and quadrupled the number and density of trees around the circuit, including significant optimization to trees farther from the track
- Added building placeholders for the estate houses near the track and the towns of Miramas and Istres
- Improved models/textures for the telephone lines
- Completely new track surface texture and new painted lines
- Dirt mounds for the groves of trees
- Moving water in the canals
- Separate layouts for the 1924, 1925, 1926, and 1932 versions of the circuit. 1924 and 1932 are oval layouts, 1925 is the GP circuit with one chicane, and 1926 is the GP circuit with two chicanes.
Next up on my to-do list is the buildings, and I’ll try to get an update out sooner next time. In the meantime, here are some screenshots and an onboard lap:
