Fernanjoe custom tracks - New track | Forums

[Barrybarfly]

Cheers guys. Glad people are enjoying it.

I enjoyed this track and there was nothing wrong with it. But for some reason it felt very "flat" as if there was little atmosphere to it ...

It's set in space, Barry - of course there's very little atmosphere!
I need to give your tracks a go, Fernanjoe, I've heard lots of good things! Looking forward to giving them all a blast over the course of this week.

I think it was the black sky with no stars. Dunno. I spent another 30mins playing it again after anyway just because its fun!

I know what you mean about the atmosphere, i wanted the red planet/sun to be in the backround and so that meant the natural light angle was a bit low, that and the greyness of the land texture. I prob should have put some more custom terrain texures in to break it up a bit. I totally agree with your thread about the importance of lighting in tracks. I think i find lighting the trickyest part to nail.

Yeah, I noticed there was a real effort in your track with regards to the lighting. It looked like it was a pretty tricky track to light tbh. Trying to get the right kind of light with no fog and not much natural sun/moon/planet light must have taken quite a while! lol

But as I say, I've still had good fun with the track and its got some cool details in it as well. Generally speaking, most tracks will have something that could be improved, purely becuase of the limitations of the complexity and game engine (with regards to performance). So its really a minor thing.

I also enjoyed your insert card track from ages ago and always make a point to try anything I see you've released, so keep 'em coming!

Dang, thats a LOT of boxes!

Edit: I was at the start when I wrote that, so now its DANG that IS a lot of boxes! LMAO Really fun track again, tough plat time, but I'll come back and get that hopefully.

Squaresville. - I was about to post the week 2 tracks for March Madness and then I check the new Trials feed and found this gem on the first or second line! Expect this track to get a righteous pounding.

Great work on this!

Another cool track man, good stuff! I like the way you managed to use hundreds of boxes but make them look like they are supposed to be there...very well implemented. The line looks great too from the video I will be llaying this tonight and have 5* ready to drop on it.

I find it ironic that you you have a track full of wood, after I made that "you're tracks are nothing without metal". Haha.
Nice smooth line. I like the ending. I'm guessing you used the emitter there. I may steal that end idea.

Ha, yeah thought id mix it up and use wood this time.
Yeah i used emitters for the boxes raining down at the end. Got them to follow the rider so if you crash they will kick in. Also if anyone can complete the track after reversing slightly at the start ill give you a million pounds.

Disclaimer - not really.

Cheers. I def was inspired by that Dump track, thought it was amazing how they managed to put all those objects in.

Thanks for posting that vid Nytmair. Nice one.
