Rockmunky's 3D track bits.
Well... I'm fairly bored this afternoon, so i have begun to make bits of racetrack in 3D using CAD software.
So far, i've sortof started on the garage/race control area. It's still WIP, and i haven't actually added the individual garages yet, but i'm learning still (i got this software about and hour ago!) http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k9...aceControl.png More will be added as it gets done.

Sorry for the double, but this bit's pretty much done. I've added the paint for the gird and pit boxes.
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k9...munky/Grid.png Next post will have some grandstands, some pit entry/exit lights, and advertising hoardings. |

Very nice buildings ..... working with CAD software allows for a lot more detail that I could manage.

Looks fantastic. Do those grandstands come from Sepang?

Haha, no i just messed around with the polygon shapes, and ended up with that, slightly sepang-esque though i would agree.

Is CAD complicated? I've tried it before and it didnt work out for me.

The only slight comment I'd add, would be to use more colours/shades if possible to differentiate the different surfaces.
I'm not familiar with the software so you might be limited in what you had. |

Yeah, i could do that.
I think once i get used to it all, the overall thing should look better, and more realistic. However for a first shot, i thought it came out pretty well.  Thanks for the comment, SBF, it hadn't really crossed my mind either. |

Yeah I really like the architecture that you were able to acheive, and no matter what attempt it does look very good.
From my own experience a dark grey works well as a track surface, and will "take" white very well for grid markings and such. |

Yeah, the only time the white would show as "white" was when i was directly overhead, because of the shading too. Give it time, and well, who knows, i could be Herman Tilke.
