Hello, I'm trying to make a new track, but I've got some questions:

1) I'm making a sand track, but when the bike rides on the sand parts the dust is very low. How can I increase the amount of dust that the bike "generates"?

2) Also, I'm trying to make a snowy part, but I can't find the right environment options to make it. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you very much indeed.

You could use a smoke or steam effect tied to the rear wheel to get more "dust".

You have to make the snow yourself, as it's not included in the editor. Try changing up the way your cameras work to get the look you want. Sand with lower saturation or a "cool" color filter should help.

I think white steam looks pretty good if you color it sand-like. You can make a steam effect rotate on a physics joint while it follows the bike. That way it will swirl around wherever you go, and it looks pretty nifty. I did this in my Absinthe track with swirling green dust.

I'm trying to stick the smoke with the back wheel but I can't... I mean, when I try to select the objects that are going to be "together", I can't select the back wheel of the bike... Even the bike itself :/ Why is that?

you need to use a physics joint (point to point hard)

It worked! Thanks for your help!
