This is the final low poly racetrack I created for RaceRacer when I was 14. I used Blender along with the game engine to create a realistic looking track that was playable even on the oldest of computers. It is 3000 polygons in total.

Thanks! =) Well, it's basically something you need to take into consideration when creating your curve profile. Below is what I used for this track: |--|---|-|-------------|-|---|--| The crash barrier is at the far end, followed by the grass/gravel traps, followed by the rumble strips; with the road in the centre. Once your track is in mesh form, it is as simple as extruding the barrier/fence loop upwards. Unfortunately I never took the extra divides into consideration for the tutorial =\

No, it's for Gran Turismo =P Yes. Well, it was... Until the project dissolved. A huge shame; it had the potential for being one of the most popular games on the net.

Add a face ( mesh ), texture this face with an image ( background with alpha channel ( gimp + png )). Go to texture face panel ( UV face select mode ) ... enable alpha + billboard. Thats all.

Sort of. In my case it was a little more complicated than that; but I guess that's the basic principle. Also, I used the TIFF file format because PNG has issues with the Z-Buffer in shockwave's 3D engine - and it tends to cause problems when exported as an executable.

First of all - do ... ( 1 year ago by DanielSefton)

First of all - do you generally know how to texture? If not, I would Google a few tutorials - it's simple enough once you know how to do it. You might also be interested in my racetrack tutorial: it teaches you all the basics about how to make a low polygon track in Blender. You can find it at 'danielsefton [dot] com' Good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions =)

Haha. Double dash ... ( 11 months ago by DanielSefton)

Haha. Double dash is the worst mario kart =P Yes. It's low polygon; because it was created for the shockwave engine. I could have created a Gran Turismo style track, but it would be pointless since it could be played only on the newest of computers.

I never actually said it was a bad job, I consider this a good job. I'll admit, there's no way I can do better, but I'm just saying, I'll just play with Double Dash.
P.S. "Twat" is not considered a good insult.
