Subbed! Thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials mate. I’ve dabbled in making track mods for a few years on and off and usually get to the point where they work but then need the very time consuming details added to complete them.

Keep up the great work 👍🏼

Thank you so much for the extreme nice words! I wish and plan for more videos showing the pros and cons of a few methods.

Always coming back to this tutorial when I'm working on a drivable map because the logic of this method is the best imo, but always getting caught by how confusing and chaotic the tutorial is so here is a quick recap of the steps: Make landscape - Add curve to follow reference road - Shrinkwrap curve to terrain - Create close roadside terrain and follow curve - Shrinkwrap outside edges to terrain - Create road follow curve - Extrude close roadside terrain on Z - Boolean divide terrain by close terrain - Shrinkwrap close terrain to terrain nearest vertices

[@symbletsplay1643]

Hi there! First of all this is a really nice tutorial! By no means i am a game designer, but i believe this a very convenient way to quickly create a road. The reason why you caught my attention is that i am a civil engineer specialized in roadway construction. And honestly, i am baffled by the fact how similar you approach the modelling. If you are interessted how you could potentially optimize some things feel free to let me know. I saw the one of the most time consuming work is the flattening of road, when you basically extruded your axis. I don't know if there is an offset option in blender but thats basically the way you do it in CAD. Also for the future you might want to take a look at the DEGES or for my region the ASFINAG webside. Building Information Modelling is also a thing noe in infrastrukture, so for the first time in decades actual 3D modells are made and uploaded as .ifc files. Not sure if there is an import for that in blender and the files are gigantic, but it is most likely a digital surfaxe modell that the current import. Kind regards and keep the tutorials up - i had a blast watching this!

Glad this worked for you. A faster way would be to create the road to your liking with all the heights and connections and simply knife project it to the terrain, delete the faces in between and shrinkwrap to nearest vertex. And if you need more detail you can sculpt it or repeat the step with the newly added things (i did asume by you wanting to use GN that you know some blender haha if not you can ignore this)

what you could do: end the road before it gets wider or the intersection starts. search for a satellite image of that intersection and just mask the road. Use snapping to jsnap the vertex to the vertex where the road ends and adjust anything that is wrong

The techniques of modeling streets that I've seen on youtube seem too tedious and modifying something after finishing is really difficult, that's why I am interested in this method with "a better result" which "pays out at the end".

I can’t recall which one it was (without watching the video again) which I will be doing many time no doubt, but I am currently at work. I just wondered why both your “path” and “terrain track” where snapped to the terrain “z” axis. If I didn’t apply a “modifier”-“shrinkwrap”-“project”-“z axis”-“+ & -“ to both the “path” and “terrain track” only one of mine would be “snapped” to follow the terrain’s contours/elevations.

Yes, just (after applying the modifiers) select what you want to change, create a new material and assign it. You could also split the object. Same thing, but after you select it, press P and by selection. Than delete the material(slot) of the old road and add the new one.

please i need help and promess to help... at 11:50 you say that we need to broaden the path of 20meter but when I want to do that my path go down and not in straight line... pls help me

[@Mnichu_TEAM]

Hi, I have a problem importing FBX to ksEditor. When I open FBX, I get the message "Error Object: Street Path has no material attached." If you could help it would be great. I am waiting. Regards.

[@LuckyOneB3D]

Simply don't export the path, it is only needed in blender

[@shanedeverse4525]

hello im having a problem around 20:30 so the vertices that are generated after i apply the modifiers to the street_path are buggin out. I try selecting them and then moving them, but then there is a duplicate set of offset verticies with more mesh under it. also i cant seem to move it clipped to the surface like you do, it just moves in the 3d space.

[@sebastienimary7881]

Dude I found out it's EDGE SLIDE, but don't know how to select it properly. So I select vertices, then switch to edge selection, right click et EDGE SLIDE :) Or Shift + V with verticies

[@carlosguijon8053]

Up until setting up the points of the stree everything is well, but when I add the modifiers for the plane it goes in very weird shapes, not similar to the path that I traced :\ restarted and same thing happened :(

[@LuckyOneB3D]

Hi, make sure both origins are in the same position and scale is applied. And the road should be at the origin point (the plane for the road, before adding the modifiers)

[@kivikall]

Can you briefly explain how KSEditor understands what part is considered as a road and what is off track? I don't think it was explained in a video or maybe I just missed it completely but clearly when you drive off the road it says lap time invalidated so it must know somehow. I'm also little curios about those white lines you did. Because they are actual objects and not just texture wouldn't they cause problem for example if they would be higher from the ground? Sounds like a possible collision detection bug can happen. But overall very helpful video and gives pretty good starting point to learn more :P

[@LuckyOneB3D]

Yes very simple: Everything is just visual unless declared with the naming convertion for AC. e.g.: 1ROAD_XXX for the road, 1GRASS_XXX for offtrack/grass, 1WALL_XXX for collision things. But for collision you do simple shapes. So you would call the guardrail just guardrail or guardrailvis and place a simple cube (following the guardrail) over it and call it 1WALL_gaurdrailxxx. Than in your track folder under data, in the surface.ini you can declare different settings for the road/grass/dirt/curbs and and and) also "is_valid_track=1 or 0" thats how the game knows what is valid and what not. White lines are just a visual object so no collision possible, The outer lines are often done with masking them on the road, so they are the same object as the visual road (not part of the physical road) but for the middle lines i haven't found a solution with masking thats why i make them seperate, since i value the control i have with it. Thank you, was only planned as a proof of concept.. and maybe to help a few people didn't think it would "blow up" like it did haha

@@LuckyOneB3D Fantastic answer, thanks for taking time answering! This clears things up a lot :P

quick question, how would you go about getting correct road size/lenght if you were trying to be more accurate? for e.g. i know my road is 4 meters wide roughly, and if i scale the map so that the road is the size of a 4 meter plane in blender. im not sure if that method would yield the correct result.

[@LuckyOneB3D]

yes the size you have in Blender is 1:1 scale! if the road widht changes, you could either do a secound path and plane and merge them together (would need to do a new "close_terrain" thing) but it should work. Or you could do it like in the part i told you to skip, for that to work, you need to make the road in close terrain wider than you wides part and manually adjust the edges/verticies that should be close to the road. Its alot of work tho, i plan to do a short video soon on how to do this (hopefully haha)

@@takumifujiwara2073 I didn't even know this effect accourd in this "small" scale. Would have thought this is an issue about the bad geo data. But I honestly don't know. You could in theory, rotate the whole thing, so it matches a axis, and than scale it smaller by 10%, and than rotate it back. But that could mess up other things. (don't forget to apply scale afterwards, ctrl + a and then apply scale)
