Mageical's Tracks (with Photos) | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

Now that I've built up a small stable of custom tracks, I feel it's time to share them with the community at large. As every creator knows, it's pretty heartbreaking to put time into a quality track only to have it pushed out of the spotlight almost immediately by the myriad of more... questionably designed creations. Thankfully, there are community forums to help with that. I plan to have video of my tracks up soon enough, but in the meantime I've decided to go with some "behind the scenes" photos of my tracks from the editor. Without further ado:

Gamertag: Mageical

Armageddon Island
Trials
Hard
My tribute to summer blockbusters. A serviceable driving line set across an Island in the midst of nuclear meltdown. The track started off as a testing ground for triggers and events, and ended up being a lot of fun to build.


Riverdance
Trials
Extreme
A tough course set along a misty river. I tried to give this track a nice flow while still keeping it really tough. It's probably a little harder than Inferno 3, but not to the level of the community ninjas.


Riverwalk
Trials
Easy
This is my attempt at turning Riverdance into an easy-level course. I feel like I succeeded, but the process ended up taking quite a bit longer than I thought it would. Creating a good driving line over the top of another course is tricky, but fun. There was also the issue that the course only took about 18 seconds to get through after being simplified, so I added on a new section to the end.


Bridge the Gap
Supercross
Medium
One of the earlier maps I made, a short track with some big jumps and supercross-style flow.

Plummet
Trials
Easy
My first track in Evolution. Short, not that great, but it's quick, has a couple big jumps and an ending cinematic if you're able to make it far enough over the finish line. This was mostly a testing ground for the trigger system in Evo, but nonetheless, let me know what you think. I'll have a photo up soon.

More to come...

Reserved (because why not!)

One more reserved slot.

For the record, yea, I'm primarily reserving this slot to get the thread back to the top. I know that can be annoying, but I promise you guys these are not throwaway tracks. I've created many, many tracks in HD, and the idea of so many more people seeing my new works is enticing.

I really would love to hear any feedback you guys have!
