Photogrammetry to Assetto Corsa, track modding tutorial

[@jandersen6802]

This is how we should build GTA Earth! Perhaps we could all crowdsource 3d photogrammetry and stream the world like MSFS2020. Or we could use swarms of drones to scan every area.

[@bullit199]

I wonder if grabbing photogrammetry from MS Flight Simulator is possible? Asobo, please make it open source for the Assetto Corsa tracks!

[@MrMarcusjarvey]

Nice Job. Thank you for taking the time to not only make the map, but also explain the techniques. I hope many more (myself included) manage to make such convincing maps using photogrammetry inspired by this tutorial.

[@bullit199]

Ah, I was hoping for version 1.0 but now I see and fully understand why that's not such a compelling idea. 239 hrs! I wonder if just projecting those high quality textures onto manually created models would look good? Sort of a hybrid approach. Please keep experimenting. Great work!

Hvala ti puno na tutorialu, svaka čast! 🥰 Svakako ću pokušati napraviti dio svoje staze na ovaj način, ovo je jednostavno fenomenalno!😎 I hvala još jednom što si ovo podijelio sa nama.

[@perfectox]

maybe the combination of photogrammetry and hand made models could achieve the best results. For example swapping the photogrammetry trees for some better ones would improve the ifnal result by A LOT...with not so much works. ....stuff like buildings etc in fact looks better on the photogrammetry uneven version compared to manually created square boxes...good luck with all your attempts! Exciting to see what else can be achieved here!

Is it possible to load these into Race Track Builder? Addig track elements there would be easy. Also the road could be placed in there, which is easier than modelling the whole.

[@lipsach]

I never used Race Track Builder. Adding track elements in Blender is also easy, I just didn't do it at this moment.

[@christianmariogreco9330]

I'm really interested in your work! keep it up man, you're surreal. I'm learning stuff that can finally help me creating the perfect road track. I live in Italy and we have long roads all connecting to Roma, obv. my favorite ones are those that follows the region's geography near the sea because they have a lot of corners and a great view, usually. for example, the one that I want to do is from Cogoleto to Savona. on google maps it will suggest you the highway but if you stay on the main road with street view, you'll see what I mean. many thanks again for making what used to be only a dream, possible. I don't know if it will be polished like the Monaco street circuit of Project Cars. it maybe will have more details but I'm still starting modelling so the final product is what scares me the most. also, roads here are garbage so I'll save some time smoothing the road lol. I'll sub to you and patiently wait for another awesome video. Wish all of you the best and an happy new year!

[@Mr.Doruko]

Amazing job. Perfect. Could you please make a video where you show the shader settings on a simpler scene? When I want to use a small photogrometry scene that I downloaded from Sketchfab, the shadows do not appear on the ground. This visually makes the use of scanned scenes look bad. No matter what I tried, I can't cast the shadows of the objects I added on the stage. Do you have a video about it? How can i solve this problem. thank you for your hard work

[@socks2441]

if you are not planning on continuing this track, it would be awesome if you could make it open source for anyone to improve, such as adding barriers/ cones/ arrows/ braking distance signs etc on corners. and if anyone was crazy/ committed enough, to continue tidying up the photogrammetry. it could end up being one of the best assetto corsa tracks of all time. it just may take thousands of hours of work... which is waaay too much to ask of any one person.

[@lipsach]

I plan to work some more on the track. Mainly adding few more roads I wanted to drive. After that will see.

[@arne6617]

Hey Savic thats an Awesome one of a kind tutorial thank you so much for sharing that all with us! regarding preparing the footage, did you also consider to mask the moving objects out in after effects for example, it would have been a bit faster then going frame by frame in photoshop?

[@lipsach]

Interesting suggestion, i guess it could work. If you skip the Premiere part, and select the usable video in AE, then mask and track everything before the speedup of the video. After that you could make new sped up composition, and export frames from there.

The drivable mesh could remain high poly if its a separate non visible mesh. Still maaaaaaad!

[@izoyt]

a lot of work, but realy great project. next is currently scanning european streets with lidar (probabaly for car autopilot navigation etc), if i'm not mistaken. so, makes me wonder, if precise lidar 3d data can be combined with photogrammetry for textures, we can get some serious archive of detailed virtual world of urban europe basically , which could be also used for this kind f stuff (racing, car auto schooling etc). any thought on that?

[@lipsach]

Yes, lidar can be combined with images for texture, and it is great for scanning but it is somewhat expensive gear for personal projects. Also creating virtualy whole europe is huge amount of data. It would have to work from some huge server similar to MS flight simulator.

[@izoyt]

@@lipsach it will be probably run by big companies (which could afford those giant server farms etc) in cloud for live navigation data. but just as some side use, some small parts could be used for things i mentioned before, probably. but with all qantum chips etc coming, in let say 10 or 15 years, even that huge amount of data wont be problem any more..

[@bcob8989]

Could you give a guide on how to use data from google maps rdc files? If you are familiar with it. I have gotten as far as separating the road meshes and added the start point and pits etc. but in kseditor I cannot seem to find the correct textures for the mesh

[@lipsach]

I haven't work with rdc files. KS editor opens the textures used in 3d softawre. The textures should be placed in 'texture' folder inside the folder of the track in Assetto Corsa. Read here about folder structure assettocorsamods.net/threads/build-your-first-track-basic-guide.12/

[@baihaqiabizar]

is there a way to integrate photogrammetry with software like racetrack builder since im more familiar with track making on racetrack builder rather than blender?

[@BlueFoxAnimations]

i keep falling through the map, how can i fix that?

[@lipsach]

You need correct naming for the meshes, including road surface. Check the basic guide link i video description for more info.

[@dawecoostaryt8376]

Hello, nice video, I'm doing a project according to your tutorial, I wonder your final polygon count and what is the maximum assetto can handle? I have around 15Millions right now. thanks for the answer

[@lipsach]

I don't know what are polygon limits of assetto corsa. There is a limit on a single .kn5 file, if your track reaches that you can separate a track in more .kn5 files, and load them with models.ini. I had 5 .kn5 files each was somewhat less than half a million polygons.

Textures for the track are huge. I'll try to optimise it in next iterations.

[@unknowndriver3443]

[@djtyros]

I cant figure out how to get the textures to appear? I followed everything exactly, but textures/materials do not appear for me 😢

[@lipsach]

Either you should check 'sweet' mode in 'scene 3d view' tab. Or the scene is too large and can't be desplayed full. If that is the case, either 'simplify' mesh to reduce policount, or create 'cliping box' to view only part of the mesh.

[@djtyros]

@@lipsach thanks for these pointers. However, I've only just started using the software, and yes I've imported an extremely large mesh. The fbx was around 120mb. Where can I find out in detail, how to do the clipping option. Thanks

[@molo5533]

hello, is it possible to pay you to make a track? and for how much?

[@LanD_87]

excuse me I was looking to configure a two way. I have to create two ac_starts and two finishes, one for the outward journey and another for the return trip, or I can make a start then the finish only at the end of the course. And I have side roads I should define them as extend or something like this so as not to confuse with what I would like to define as the circuit? There is no video for this how to place these cubes according to a one lane or two lane etc, I understood that it was necessary to place several ac_time if the circuit is long max 3 I believe... In my case where the map also has side roads in streets that have nothing to do with where I want to race, if I place my times only on the highway and the return lane to return to the highway in the other meaning the game will understand that the turn is only on the highway for example and not on the roads in the city? I haven't found anything apart from videos that talk about the basics of the basics on how to orient your cubes and where to place your pit, its start and its times but not even for the hotlap and the rest

[@lipsach]

I guess you want to create multiple layouts for your track. assettocorsamods.net/threads/track-layouts-how-to.364/

[@LanD_87]

@@lipsach Thank you for your answer so there are four cubes for an a a b AC_START_0 AC_TIME_0_L and R and AC_FINISH_ and I would have to direct the z towards the finish when returning, is that correct? and for a circuit like this I would like to make the lap of the track a round trip on the highway but not just a lap how I should arrange my cubes

It is single mesh for the road. I remodeled over photogrametry mesh, and bake texture from fotogrammetry mesh.

@@lipsach Was curious as I'm starting to do a similar project and reading into AC optimization about having a low poly visual road mesh to apply the texture, and invisible not rendered high poly mesh for driving surface

[@lipsach]

@@ericmullen14 I am doing it the other way around. The visible building meshes are higher poly and textured, and I make invisible low poly collision mesh to optimise calculations.

[@lipsach]

@@ericmullen14 I made simpler collisions for walls. The road surface should be high polly. My road is not that hight poly so I used the same mesh for graphic layer also. But if road mesh is to dense, maybe there is a benefit of making the simpler mesh for graphis. I didn't experiment with performance and optimization.
