Finally, not another one of those crappy racetracks like Nasoa's.

I got a ton of stuff done today. Build wise I'll be able to finish the track tomorrow. The eventing will take another day or two and then I'm ready to host. I will be doing test runs tomorrow. No competition, just testing.

Edit: So anyways, news from Demianland.

I like it :D

That looks simply amazing, I really like the pickups too they look like they fit perfectly with the build and blockland

So that's what you needed the 4x bricks for.

Looks amazing btw.

Actually I didn't use them. Had I used them where I needed them it would have broken up the texture pattern. Any way I tried it didn't work. You can see a 4x hole in the light rim on the wall in the second last image in OP. I had to remove the textures from the rim to make it work as you can see from the latest images.

GSF was right, the textures are based on an 8x8 scale and anything smaller than that will break up the pattern. They're useful for smaller details though.

I'm using 4x print cubes at the moment.

My first thought was "What the hell kind of castle is this it sucks" then I realized it's a racetrack. Holy forget, that looks fun.

Cool. I wish I could get those power up boxes for my track! I'm jelly.

Uhh.. I don't think this track can be played on until this is made: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=219105.0
Having one shot to complete the track is kind of bullstuff. There are a couple of tough spots so I can foresee ragequits. Besides the track was designed for laps, not just one round.

Demian · January 13, 2013, 12:43:07 PM

Wrapping up for today. I didn't build much but I did all the detail prints.

Plus a custom skybox and some changes to the lighting.

I need to fix the inverted normals on the terrain bricks though.

N. Gin Labs is another interior track but I will be really busy with school in the coming months. I also want to continue to work on my blackjack game.
Probably not going to build it though. Too much work and so many other things to do.
