Spa-Volt Diary
Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2018 11:21 am
Hello Re-Volters!
As somebody of you maybe already saw at the Discord #creations channel, since a few weeks I am working on my first Re-Volt track. I only did some simple car remodelling before, so I'm a total newbee regarding track-making and Blender, and I have to learn a lot, if I want to create a nice track. But I accepted this challenge - and together with the great help in the #creations community in the Discord channel, I was able to solve all the problems I was experiencing so far. (And this was quite a lot... )
Here in this thread, I want to do sort of a "diary" of the progress of my track. The target audience are all people which are interested. But especially beginners, who maybe also want to create their own track, but didn't had the guts to begin doing a track, because of the huge challenges waiting. As already said, I was also an absolute newbee at track-making (and especially Blender), but it's absolutly possible to learn, if you bring enough motivation and time with you. (However, I don't know how my track will look like in the end - maybe it will be crap, but at least I learned a lot - and maybe my second track will be better then )
OK guys, my planned track is called Spa-Volt. It's located in a Spa-Resort. There will be an indoor and an outdoor area. You will drive beside the pools, through the Spa-restaurant, and the changing room area. If the track will get to short in the end, I will extend it to an entrance-area. It will be night time, and it is raining outside. The pools are still romantic illuminated, because the Spa was closed 30 minutes before. There will be some cleaning machines waiting for their nightly performance, but no people are around, when the RC-cars take over. The whole track has a romantic athmosphere, in the inside area it's bright, but not so in the outside. The rain in the outside is causing some large puddles, I hope no RC cars will slip and fall into the pool!
Here are some real-life pictures, which was inspiration for me:
Inside area:
Outside area:
I have planned the track in detail, and also have found a nice racing line with some diversity. However, on this drawing, you are not able to see the "up" and "down" parts I have planned. You will be able to see this later in my diary
(The text on the drawing is german - but maybe you will get a feeling about the track also without understanding it)
Today in the evening, I will do my first post from the diary, where I will present you my first steps doing the track.
Cheers! Kiwi
