Mattt's New Tracks

mattt · 27 Nov 2010, 21:45 (Ref:2796579)

Haven't posted a track on here in ages and looking at the fact this part of the forum seems to be slowing down, as Bio eluded too.

I've decided i shall do more on here than just look and admire at the graphics skills of you guys which i can't even dream of matching.

So here's my first one, a very fast flowing circuit just with an extra added bit to increase lap length and to add something different to the circuit

Any comments etc very welcome.

All information about the track is in the top left of the image

Black lines are barriers, yellow is gravel, blue is pitlane, purple colour is the paddock

i like it mattt. love the triple right hander into the tight hairpin. would like to see a sketchup model

bio · 28 Nov 2010, 02:30 (Ref:2796626)

Speed, technical parts, risky turns - all there. Great one!

Did you imagine any elevation changes on the track or is it plain flat?

I'm a little lost here, how the red and black connects?

Also the hairpin needs to be fixed, it's an obvious safety hazard, otherwise seems a reasonable racing surface.

Just eh red line is the track outline. the black lines ae all barriers.

Luiggi,
I guess you skipped the color code description

As Tathrim poited out, black is the barriers - therefore the "hairpin" is not a hairpin at all

I imagine the red will all be fairly flat similar to Thruxton or Silverstone so its an airfield circuit really. But the middle bit of the green after the fairly tight corner and that straight is gently sloped down to and then back up to the Red bit

Looking at the circuit, it reminds me somehow of a morphed Philip Island at that lenght those are some fast turns Brow

My next work is in the process of being worked but this time with even more of the surroundings on it, so as i have a few very busy days of uni work up until next tuesday, it'll be finished and posted wednesday i predict

bio · 9 Dec 2010, 21:38 (Ref:2802179)

Looking forward.

mattt · 16 Dec 2010, 22:58 (Ref:2805362)

Time to upload this new one since I'm finished uni for two weeks as of today

Red is track
Black is Barrier
Green is grass
Dark Grey is run off
Light Grey is pit garages (pit marshals office with marshal (orange spot) next to it
Pink are paddocks
Light Blue is pit lane
Yellow is gravel

Clockwise
3.8 miles

As always comments are welcome

bio · 16 Dec 2010, 23:01 (Ref:2805365)

I like the overall shape a lot - great how the different sections - tzhe technical and the fast ones - are connected and put in sequence!

One minor point: I've got the feeling that the final shape has been defined a bit too much by the curve tool of Paint... Or not?

Anyways, thumbs up for this one.

Cheers

Well its a mixture of paint and my choice. i will initially go round just making the track using the curve tool but i then go round erasing bits and changing the curves.

But its mainly really curvy since there my favourite tracks

bio · 16 Dec 2010, 23:13 (Ref:2805373)

Well, good curves are the salt and pepper of a good track

Any other comments?

Weekends are usually calm here...

With paint you need to watch the hairpin type corners, it's easy for all the hairpin types corners to look the same. Perhaps try and use a smaller line and aim for a semi circlr rather than a "bullet" shape each time.

mattt · 24 Dec 2010, 23:28 (Ref:2808304)

To carry on the theme started by Bio and SBF

heres the xmas pudding circuit.

Fairly flat 1.5 mile anti-clockwise

The blue bit is the edging of the icing on the top that makes the circuit more than just an oval and that bit takes it up to maybe 1.8/2 miles

Green are barriers
Red is pitlane
purple is paddock

Did it in a rush so not much detail plus its a wee bit rough around the edges

bio · 25 Dec 2010, 11:21 (Ref:2808366)

Oh man, seeing all this I'm starting to think about my New Year's Eve track
