Starting a custom track. | Forums

Erm.....just lay grass over initiative industries.

I always build my line first so I can make sure the obstacles all work right and flow together so that I dont have to try and "fit/force" them into the scenery. Then I build around the line. That makes sure the line is solid as nothing ruins a track more for me personally than a crappy line, so thats always my priority. But everyones different and I'm not saying that scenery first will guarantee a bad line. I've not tried it that way myself, thats all.

Grass takes up so much complexity and makes tracks lag.

No I mean the texture "grass 4" (or maybe 5?). Sorry. You can make it quite large and cover a decent lenngth track with it easily without causing lag at all.

Oh I see, I thought you meant the grass in the environment category.

No chance! I wont even use ONE of them! You're right about the lag that stuff causes! lol

I try to find the most empty area, with no buildings or other man-made sturctures in the background. I would rather make my own and deleate anything pre-existing that shows up.

I wouldnt start a sketch with a half-drawn-on sheet of paper, I look at track making the same way.

+1. Amazing way of putting it!

I agree. Gotta love the area clear. Whack a few of those along the line (made MASSIVE!) before starting and you get that clear sheet of paper.
