Weekly Progress #25

Hello, hello and good morning guys!

how was your weekend? did you watched the baku GP?

the qualyfying was a bit chaotic with all the red flags huh XD

Bottas won the race with a solid drive all around, but I think he was a bit sneaky getting the pole position.

Did you saw that bottas kinda slowed down during the last outlap with lewis behind him? the time was running out so lewis had no choice but to stay close to him. he couldn't get away to create a gap to do his final qualifying lap, and that cost lewis the first sector. he got yellow sector at sector 1, but purple sectors on the last 2. if Lewis started at pole, the result might have been different.

but could have, should have, would have, it didn't happen. 

bottas won, and it was still a good drive from him. and it might have been a rant from me because I am Lewis's fan XD

anyway, we are at the end of the month again, and I'm going to update the build to version 0.0. 10. It should be up by tomorrow, so stay tuned :P

aside from adding a few buildings to complete cerda, I start working on Collesano. specifically the hairpin part

later on I want to add more details such as the roof tiles, because at some places it's quite noticeable and i believe it will add more immersion. because in reality, the roof shouldn't be perfectly straight as you can see in the pics.

well anyway, I'll be updating the test build today, and it should be up tomorrow.

aside from that, I've been learning maxscript recently. If you never heard of it, it's a built in scripting tools from 3ds max, and it's a very powerful tools. if you know how to use it, that is hahaha.

but it's an advanced feature that need certain degree of understanding in proggramming. and I'm an absolute noob when it comes to scripting XD

but since I believe i'm gonna need it soon for track building, i don't think learning it will be  a waste at all.

and BIG thanks to our friend Beni who pointed out how to make track limits using 3ds max. targa is a very tricky track to make a perfect track limit, and if we are using the tool to make it, we're gonna have to drive twice around the circuit. with this method, I can easliy make them and edit them inside 3ds max. :)

now I'm gonna go and download game of thrones episode 3 XD

have a great week!
