Howdy,

Keep an eye on the development topics here and on the official ASW forum. There are at least 3 track projects in development at the moment: Silverstone (update), Lime Rock Park and Nordschleife. One thing to bear in mind is that there are many gotchas to modelling for Redline - lots of information here.

hey welcome! We will for sure start to ask help, as soon as the exciting GT3 tournament will come at the end.

The Lime Rock available on LoL is currently in (re)development. There are many buildings that need to be modeled; if you're familiar with the track, you could start making some; I do have a series of pics from Leo I could send you for reference.

I've already got the little marshall (sp?) stands; I have the pedestrian bridge, and a WIP of the auto bridge just before the downhill corner. Take a look at the other buildings in-game; if you think any of them could be tweaked, let me know & I'll send you the file(s).

I'll PM you a link to the next WIP of the track I get ready (I'm kinda close now for needing more feedback).

Do you use Blender?

Yes, welcome to the RL modelers club. (BTW, its interesting how many of us play guitar... Twisted Evil )

Other than the scenery, Silverstone doesn't need many new models. One that you could do if you wanted is the new building that's part of the Porsche test facility. As with most of the RL models its more of a texturing job than a modeling problem, given that you don't want to use more than about 1000 tri's on any single model. Let me know if you're interested.

I've tried to incorporate your model kouch, but the way you exported the wavefront is not standard for RL models. I can see there are 8 different objects in the model (although Blender reports 11?), and one of them is "multires", whatever that means. cyclops

When I import the wavefront into Model Importer its got a scaling issue, the materials didn't get exported properly (only one is showing) and the normals are off in some cases (ie: faces are being drawn on the inside faces of some objects).

I'm not sure how other modelers do it, but for one building like this I would have only one object (I add new meshes in the same object), and unwrap all the faces into one UV map. Because one object is multires, it says I can't combine all the objects, and I also can't seem to scale everything in a sensible way to export everything at the right size...

I'm not sure where to go from here, maybe some other modelers can help us out of this situation?

I can post the .blend file if that would help and you are OK with that, kouch.

Here's what I see in MI after import:

oh that's not what i see on my computer…

i think the pb is that i used 2 texture images for that object. as you suggested me, Pax-raider, redLine requires to use only one pic file. then i have to merge those 2 image files, and re-adress the uv maps.
i tried to be close to the RL building, according to photos i could see. tell me if you see something to be improved.

This is not so. You just need to create 2 materials for your object, assign texture 1 to material 1 and texture 2 to material 2, and make sure you're OBJ export options group by material and include a MTL file.
