Do the drivers know they are stuck in an endless loop??

[@DerekElliott]

Please don't tell them... Can't you see how happy they are?

[@3dgreenhorn]

@@DerekElliott Right, its better that way..

[@man2596]

they must be rats....

[@colymoli4311]

what do you mean? racetracks are endless loops

[@ChritsianBucic]

haha poor drivers ;-) 👍🏻😉

[@treymarkus1987]

Just started using blender this last month, felt extremley intimidating until watching the car modeling video, love the tutorials.

[@carlosbartolome7640]

I once in a while come back to this tutorial to see things I forgot with the pass of the time. Honestly, I do not think I have learnt as many concepts in other videos as you teach in this one. Can say with words how intiutive and easy was to become better with blender thanks to your work. Keep up with the fantastic work, and another time, thanks. Will be donating to your proyect soon. Greetings from Spain.

[@gensongeorge4071]

This tutorial is amazing!!! You are so entertaining! If anyone has trouble with aligning the guards this the track after giving it the array modifier and curve modifier First give apply to the array modifier And then guve apply to the curve modifier Now you can mive each gaur individually Its a lot of workto perfectly align them But if your modifier isnt aligning few of the gaurds not the way you want you can move it individually

[@abdulhannanshaikh4786]

Thank you so much I was eagerly waiting for this tutorial I don't understand why your videos are so underrated Your work is so awesome and unique Hope to see your videos in trending section some day Keep creating such amazing content ❤️

[@DerekElliott]

I feel like they are perfectly rated 🥰

[@DanielKrafft]

This looks awesome!

[@nicksparks3543]

Awsome tutorial, love the explaining as you go and the oopsees! I watched the model car tutorial then onto this one and now it's 3:30 in the am, paused once to get a drink. You have a soothing voice too at parts like its a part you don't like to do and your in karma mode. This great for teaching how to not blow your mind...too much! I'm off to bed!!! and THANKS!!

[@DerekElliott]

Thanks Nick!

[@giorgioparravano8552]

derekkkkk i loveee youuuuu

[@DerekElliott]

Love u too

[@georg782]

I got so frustrated with the curve modifier that I stopped Blender and went for a walk. After I got back I got it to work. This tutorial really teaches more than "only" how to use Blender. Thanks so much Derek for putting your time and effort into this!

[@DerekElliott]

Nice job with the walk

Thank you a lot Derek! It was one of the most rewarding tutorials I've ever followed. Keep up the good work, cheers!

[@mrhollywood1173]

Hey Derek ........ going to have to build an additional Pit Stop. Those tires are going to take a beating !!! Great tutorial.

[@DerekElliott]

Niiice thanks

[@machelvin]

The new cars movie looks great, although I find that you left out the sound design, the boat tutorial had by far the best sound mixing I had ever heard.😂

[@DerekElliott]

Haha thank you. There are sounds for this but hard to hear on the video. My Instagram post has them clearer

[@hackjs5986]

looks amazing:)

[@morishita3969]

You are literally my savior

[@sorubro2193]

I got carried away and did a mid poly instead, so I'm excited to animate it. Love your content, I'll join patreon when I can.

[@farhadsamadov3598]

Just WOOOOW Derek! Amazing job please dont give up on your channel cuz i love your tuts!)) Thanks for all of your efforts!!!

[@pentooldesigner]

Wow! Thank you so much! Guys trust me I just started Blender three days ago with some basic interface and modeling tutorials. I just finished the basics and started working on this animation and I can't believe I'm almost done with it in my third day of using Blender. I'll definitely post the final animation on my channel. Thanks again and please keep making more tutorials like this. Hhighly recommended for beginners 😍

[@RG_77]

I think your light baking is set to Auto Bake. Check Render properties > Indirect lighting > Auto baked unchecked. Hopefully that helps

[@DerekElliott]

Thank you I'll see

[@N0Sdog]

I need to make a slot car animation next week so this is just a perfectly timed release. Thanks!

[@DerekElliott]

Perfect

[@davexbit]

So much fun Derek! Always entertaining, enjoyable and I learn lots. Thanks for another fine tutorial.

[@VelisosaVision]

if u add more res into the nurbs path prievew resolution it smooths the mesh out keep up the good work....

[@funkypartyweasel]

Thank you for this tutorial - I was quite ill for few weeks recently and was unable to focus enough to continue practicing Blender. This was exactly what I needed to get back on the horse. Regarding the flickering, I noticed it was only a problem when the area lights were increased in size - the problem can be avoided by keeping them smaller and playing with positioning and lighting strength. The underlying cause seems to be something to do with Eevee using the same random seed for area lighting as another element of the rendering, from what I could gather reading some of the blender bug tickets. Currently the solution seems to be messing around with lighting until it stops, or digging into the sorcery that is Eevee light probes.

[@DerekElliott]

Good ideas thank you

[@MrCreeper5906]

I think that flickering has something to do with 'SOFT SHADOWS' because when I turned it off, the flickering just... 🏃

[@blitzlex]

Derek Elliot you probably already know this. But disable soft shadows in the render properties and that should eliminate the flickers.

[@DerekElliott]

You're right this does tend to help with that

[@iangraham6730]

@blitzlex That did the trick! Cheers!

[@ricci.hidalgo]

Great job Derek and thanks for sharing. I would also add the driver's view!

[@wondo1997]

great tutorial Derek~!

[@nalamkaushik2859]

If we add some buildings, streetlights, and use some real car assets then it will be so real (if the camera follows behind the car). Really a very good tutorial there, there are only a few tutorials on this topic in youtube thanks a lot❤✨

[@DerekElliott]

Do it!

[@nalamkaushik2859]

[@ЕржанКали-ю6е]

Thank you so much for this tutorial Derek. I made my own track for this lesson, and tryed to make it more difficult

[@gokul8002]

you are the best teacher but please create fluid simulation also....... like assisian creed they have some small canals or fountain .. please create that also and create it super long tutorIal which should look super realistic its a request please

[@lucarenders]

Great tutorial! I know you "like to press the right mouse button and insert a keyframe" but if you hover the cursor on the value you want to keyframe and just press "i" on the keyboard it inserts a keyframe. ( if you already know this just play it cool like you didn´t ) you are welcome! cheers

Hi Derek! Thank you very much for your tutorial. I was able to complete my first looping animation. I am very pleased with the result, because it was my first experience. Again, Thanks Derek!

49:45 skin modifier doesnt worked on me (blender 3,0) so i extruded z after y and x . In this way, it looked like building columns, just like in the video.

Awesome tutorials i'm sitting and staring at my cars racing around the track it reminds me of when my kids were young and I bought an AFX set for me....I mean them..... you could send those cars around the track flat chat and they never came off....mesmerizing Would love to see you do a tutorial on how you did the idling animation Cheers

Ah yes good times. For the idle I used a noise modifier in the graph editor

9.43 it dosent work for me after i converted to curve from mesh \text

[@rajs4012]

Ok guys I'm a beginner and I need some help with this. When customizing the speed of the cars, where they slow down and speed up, I slowed them down to a speed that seems somewhat natural for the turns. But since one loop is a specific amount of frames, when I slow down on the corners, I'm guessing it takes too much time and the car suddenly speed up too much to be in time to make the loop. How can I fully customize their speed without this abrupt speed issue? Thanks and fire video man

[@DerekElliott]

No problem

[@TheoPantazi]

I just remembered how to maybe get rid of that flickering! Turn the viewport rendering value to 1 or 0? Not sure I remember, but something like that...

[@TheoPantazi]

For Eevee, not recommended for Cycles :)

[@DerekElliott]

I'll try that

[@TheoPantazi]

I'll try to recreate this tomorrow, and post an update here when I do. I had the same problem with flickering and fixed it, just can't remember if that was the solution :)

[@TheoPantazi]

Finally got round to trying what I suggested, and sure enough that works :)

[@Jackripster69]

I shrink wrapped some decals on, copied to another file for assets as i thought id try to bring it in that way but decals are just pink squares. Im guessing they arent linked to the vehicle since it breaks by moving it. Im also not sure about saving as a single file, when it try to append it in it just takes me deeper into various layers. Apologies if this was covered elsewhere and i missed it.

[@DerekElliott]

It sounds like you need to pack files into the one you're appending from. You shouldn't really have to do that but if the texture file moved locations then packing it should solve that by making it part of the blenderder file

[@Jackripster69]

@@DerekElliott Thanks Derek, fixed the problem and now have the track all finished! Please stop apologizing, its only know all youtube trolls that have a dig. Your project are fun, easy to follow along with and a great end product to be proud of. This tutorial was very helpful, a why i spend more time learning the tools than making atm. The use of pre-existing elements was fantastic. Road, guard rails, columns all happened super quick. Really pays to spend a bit of time in planning. Working smart ftw. Off to make a tank and read up on cameras to get some better action shots of my noob racers and Lets Go Brandon Flag.

[@BogacGuven]

Thank you for this tutorial👍 . It was a bit difficult to read some UI elements on 1080p screen. Would you consider increasing display scale in the future ones.

[@DerekElliott]

Thanks for the input I will look in to that

[@petelozzi7298]

It also helps to bump up the resolution. For some reason KZbin thought 480p was a good resolution for this (on AUTO), when I bumped it to 1440p I could see everything much more clearly.

[@coverdestroyer3572]

how to make slow when on curve

[@phcookie.t]

@Derek Elliot Hey the options are not appearing in the tools tab (2:45) would appreciate it if you could help out

thank you soo much much need more like this type looking for environment tutos for game. if u could

[@DerekElliott]

Thanks for the idea

[@joshparness1774]

When I try to change the elevation of my path, it completely distorts/rotates the entire rest of the path, making the whole thing very clunky with sharp changes. How do I avoid this? Thanks!!

[@vdka2136]

I dont think alligning vertices works in the newest blender. Everytime I try it nothing changes and the vertices don't align to the Z axis (@49:00)

[@DerekElliott]

Could be pivot point

[@MagoRola]

amazing work... so beautifull results!! I will create my own one!! :) thanks!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@DerekElliott]

You should!

[@def_not_dan]

Would it be easier later on if you parented the car to an empty and animated that to the curve?

[@DerekElliott]

You could do that

[@TheoPantazi]

Hmmm could the car drifting/rotation be animated with a driver? Animate the driver only, and the car Z rotation would increase/decrease...

[@DerekElliott]

You could absolutely do that... I think 😅 I'm not very good with drivers

[@TheoPantazi]

@@DerekElliott Same :) I used to be ok with drivers, many years ago in Maya, but now I use Blender and really should explore that side more. Just like IK rigs have control sliders etc, the same would work for anything. Maybe browse some IK videos and just focus on the part about the controls, then copy n paste, tweak, and viola! :P
