Added 2021-11-03 03:14:37 +0000 UTC

Hello hello everyone,

And Welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope you all are doing well and healthy.

First of all, I'm really, really sorry for the delay of the update. Things hasn't been too friendly with me lately.

at the end of last month I was bedridden for 5 days. I was tested negative so they said the cause was most likely due to exhaustion. But I'm recovering well, so all good on that side.

This month, I quit my job. Might not sound like a wise decision in this uncertain times, but clinging to the company doesn't make any sense anymore.

Looking at the bright side, I will have more time to work on Targa Florio now hahaha. Between the time spent to look for a new job or project of course.

There are some other problems as well that needs to be resolved, but I will share it with you guys some other time.

But in the meanwhile,

here is the Targa Florio build v.0.1.9

and the config without train animation if you're having crash problem loading the track

Recently I think a lot about the state of the track, and where to begin improving it, in many aspects.

Improving the building's visual, for example. CSP has Vertex Ambient Occlusion and if done correctly it would improve the track's visual. But What I was looking for is more like a ambient occlusion that being used in forza or gran turismo. basically baking another layer of AO textures on top of the albedo texture. But this require a second channel UV which is either not supported by assetto corsa or I just haven't found a workaround yet.

I'm gonna need to experiment on this some more. I do have some promising result, so we'll see :D

Improving the landscape visual is also another matter, but I will put that aside for now and focus on the task at hand, which is completing the building's textures.

as always, Thank you for all your support. It really, really means a lot to me.

I hope you all stay safe and healthy. Don't forget to drink enough water and workout once in a while! :D

Catch you guys again soon!
