i find that custom cameras can really add to a track i have one part on my first (and so far only) map where you jump onto a plank of wood as a giant hammer swings over your head missing it by inches as the hammer comes down the camera zooms out and gets a really nice view of the hammer swinging then as you go forward a little bit it goes back into a nice view of rider to make a tricky jump under the hammer as it swings back


i have some scenery around there mustly just barrels lying around at random but the camera effect really gives the hammer a "WOW" effect instead of it just being a thing you see part of at the top of the screen

another part in that map is just a spot i got bored and started experimenting too see what sort of fun stuff i could do with the cars so as you go along this part of track in the background you see all these cars exploding falling getting smashed etc even a rocket powered flying car coming out of a wall going through the centre of a loop straight at the camera
the best part though is one where i was just trying to make it look like a car was exploding so i hid dynamite boxes under it at the far side set them to a trigger and the first time i did it i jumped the car lifts up onto its side goes straight towards the runnign line stopping an inch short of killing the rider it looks amazing and i did it by accident just through messing around

the map im doing now is a sort of mine based one and i set the lighting to almost nothing and using almost nothing int he backgrounds etc just strategically placed lights it creates a nice atmosphere
