Video has been out for 4 years, 27k views, and you are the first to have this "problem"... Might want to check the mirror. The videos were never meant as a hand holding step by step guide. They are just showing my methods I have come up with after years of track work. They are simply meant as a general direction and it is up for the viewer to fill in any blanks. 5 minutes of searching and you can find out where to get scan data. I live in the US. I only care about US tracks, why would I waste time going over what every other country does with their data. I should go yell at the video I learned all this from... Oh wait there was none... I figured it out on my own...

@@LilSki3 mate.. why make the video then? you knew that this was a guide for the US only and yet you didnt even mention it. i know its not a hand holding guide i dont need one, but i watched the entire video and then went to do it and guess what? i cant. maybe put in the description or in a pinned comment atleast that you wont be able to do this outside of the US. it takes 2 seconds and will save people 30 minutes of time watching a video that is useless to them.

​@@rrrigbyyy this guide is perfectly usable for anyone outside the USA, as long as they can get geo data in a usable format from anywhere. It's not a perfect step by step guide, but how could it, every track and every artist are different. And it's a pretty involved process. If you're fed up with it in like the very first step, and rather than searching a solution yourself, you start bittching towards the tutorial creator .... maybe track making isn't the right hobby for you.

@@AccAkut1987 i’ve made tracks before but not like this.. i also spent an hour searching for literally any of that data and found none. it takes 2 seconds to say “if you’re outside of the US you may not be able to find any data like this” and it’d have saved thousands of people so much time. the steps are very easy to follow i don’t need a perfect step by step guide but such a majorly important piece of information that the creator knew about before making the video was left out. don’t be dumb.

@@rrrigbyyy I'm sorry for not taking the entire world into account when I thought to make a simple tutorial series to help the community. Next time I have a thought to help and share information maybe I'll think twice and just keep it all to myself. Not my fault your country doesn't have data available. Sorry for wasting 30 minutes of your precious life.

Isn't that mostly covered in EP3?

@@LilSki3 Oops missed that :) that’s fantastic. Only wasted a week or so trying to figure it by myself

I did an EP8 last night going over the basics of curbs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGHJYnehl8uqr7c&lc=UgwXHQnXimDs8kysKQV4AaABAg

@@LilSki3 I honestly was hoping for 2 sentences to point me in the right direction so i could get closer to finishing porting some obscure old fantasy track (with a lot of creative freedom, lets put it that way, because of lack of data). But a whole freaking episode just for a question man i honestly dont know thank you so much for that amount of effort. Hope it was out of passion and not some kind of guilt towards needing to finish the series. But yea thank you for the information now it up to me to make it work :-) .

@@augustusbeard4528 It really isn't too much work. Plus I had mentioned at the end of Ep7 I would do something on curbs. Your question just lit a small fire to setup a file and record a few segments. I hope it helped.

I never actually released it. I thought maybe there would be issues since it is a direct copy of the original. But reality is it likely doesn't matter.

@@LilSki3 all good , great job on this! Dont think it would matter seen plenty of remakes around , always loved this track for some reason from NFS1

@@10801283 I always intended to do more but I sort of stepped away from the hobby. I would like to continue them but I just don't have much extra time anymore.

I'm not using anything by Peter. Was never a fan of his constant re-invention of the wheel after every release. I don't run anything special and my machine isn't exactly powerful anymore.

I'm not promising anything but I would like to continue them. Once this is out and off my plate I want to get back to tinkering with my own stuff and will see where that goes.

I just checked as it has been so long. It's at 24 but I'll squeeze them in to get 32.

Wow that'd be awesome!@@LilSki3

Can't wait for the release. Many thanks Lilski!

Unfortunately no. One of the reasons I stepped away from major track projects was paid work ruined the hobby for me. Still finishing up my last paid track and I will only do my own stuff after that.

Multiple layouts kind of suck but the same process applies. Depending on the track I usually pick the "main layout" and treat that as the complete loop. Then any offshoots for multiple layouts I would do individually on their own curves using the same basic process. It's OK if the physical meshes overlap a bit initially for testing. Once happy with everything you may want to boolean one to cut off the excess so there is no overlap. For example on Watkins Glen the classic short course is the main track loop. The bus stop and boot were both on their own curves and joined up where they meet the main loop.

@@LilSki3 ahhh ok! Cheers :)

@@LilSki3 also, should the pitlane be included? The kart track i'm doing has an outfield pitlane, although i could be getting ahead of myself.

@@y0ink__90 I usually treat pit lanes like the other layout pieces. On it's own curve and joined up to the main layout.

@@LilSki3 again, thank you! Appreciate it :)

No it's not bad per say. The number of triangles is more the issue rather than how neat they are. I generally try to be as low resolution as possible when it comes to infield mesh that you don't really drive on.

Every country is different. Some are free and some you have to pay for. Really have to do your own research to find if data is even available and if you can obtain it.

@@LilSki3 I did some searching and couldn't find any publicly available data sadly. Is using google maps/earth a decent alternative? Thanks

@@Tigerbear62 No GE alone is not accurate enough unless it is one of those "photogrammetry" scans that some areas have in GE. Aerial photos alone are not very accurate since elevation scews the angles. I've never had a GE image fully line up with data. You usually have to line up a section at a time when using it to place objects. Once upon a time it was possible to extract that 3D data from GE but I'm not sure it's still possible.

@@LilSki3 Thank you for your help!

@@LilSki3 there is a way to get the data from maps but as you said it is nowhere near as accurate compared to lidar, have been messing with gis and osm addons for blender they work well for the most part if you wanted to make a track that is not covered by lidar. it also has options for road curves and basic box buildings. thanks for your input to the community its insanely good !!! just what im looking for to make tracks.

Unfortunately no. Mods are PC only.

@@LilSki3 I was dreaming big
