After a long time away from mtm2 addons, I decided to return to track and truck making, for a little break from Project Monster.

I started work on a drag track earlier, then scrapped it because the lightmap looked horrible.

So I completely re-made the terrain texture, which now includes light spots, shadows, and a definite course. Here's how it looks in Traxx so far.

I've planned to make it an online-compatible drag for tourneys and other competion. Of course, the host sets the rules (since mtm2 doesn't support drags), so this ought to be interesting.

I tried to make this outdoor drag race as realistic as possible; any thoughts so far?[/img][/url]

Give the guy a break. Everyone is expected an amazing top notch game from Mat it seems. He has even stated that the intended product will be freeware. I think its great what Mat is doing, but I don't think it is fair to make a comment like that. "You are not allowed... " Mat is only one person. You are expecting the game way too soon, and rushing something does not always produce the desired result.

I like how Mat doesn't rush his tracks/trucks etc, overall creating a better product. I am not a big fan of drags, but when a quality looking product is displayed, I will try it. This track's texture work alone appeals to me because it looks more realistic and custom. It takes much more effort and it shows.

Thanks for the replies! I tried to make it as realistic as possible.

So far I've added walls (with sponsors written on them), three jumps, and an advertising stand. Here's how the track looks so far.

I tried to make it collapse and crash to the ground (like you see in Flatout) but mtm2 doesn't like destroying things that much, so I had to leave it. You can really damage it by going over that wooden jump though. 8)

No pics for a while, but here's a brand-new TrackViewGL render to destroy the silence.

Is that a Mw-Gaming banner on the far wall? If so Infinity and myself thank you for getting our site out there.

The track is looking fantastic

Yep. I've got mtmg, KC's place, CH_2005's site, MW Gaming, Google, Traxx, BinEdit, and a couple others written on the side walls. Freestyle should be fine, lots of things to play with.
