[TUTORIAL] How to make a Custom Track

[Spade24]

Have you had a CT Idea for a long time, and not been able to play it??? Are you stuck with only making textures??? Have you ever wanted to make a CT???

...You have come to the right place. This Thread will try to show you step by step the way to Build, create, and edit your own CT. Picture Descriptions will be given.


Modeling/Building Steps

a. To start off you need to have an idea, design ready.
b. You will need Certain programs such as the one below...

Spoiler: Programs

- Sketch-up(Recommended)
- Paint
- Any Alternate 3D Model Creator

c. Next, you build your design. Make sure the design is at least 100000' x 100000' otherwise you will have a very small track. (100000' x 100000' is around a 20 sec lap) Once you build your design on one of the programs above you will need to do these exact things, (Just a reminder, this tutorial below will be for Sketchup, so if you use another program, you can skip the building portion and move to the next section in the tutorial thread)...make every part of your Tracks pieces white, before you start texturing, you can do that by Right Clicking on a Grey Object and clicking "Reverse Phases"

d. One you have done that you can texture it, by using the paint tool in the tool bar. As Shown in the Picture Below...

e. Once, your done texturing, make sure you have reversed every phase and also textured every part of the track, so you don't have to redo everything if you realize you messed up.

f. Once you realize you are totally done Make A folder on your Desktop Name it what ever.

g. Now Comes The Extracting. Go To File, and then OBJ EXPORTER, (if you don't have it, I will try to find a link and post it in a second or third post. Also you can contact me on Skype and i can send it [My Skype: Ugotowned35000vr])

...Once you click it, save/extract everything to that folder you made on the Desktop.
