Have you done traxx school ?

If yes, why hasn't it been put in the expo? <font size=+1 face=Wingdings>K</font>

Anyway. Let's assume you have done traxx school (and let's assume if you haven't you're going to drop everything and go do it now). The next step you'll want is to use patterns.

http://rhinoseros.com/~mtmg/traxx/patterns.html

Patterns are a time saving way to make sure you get all the textures you need for the curve (or any texture area) in the right place. Patterns are great; everybody uses them.

Custom textures? That's a lot of work, but if you're up for it, these couple links will clue you in.

Hope that helps.

Oh, I see. In that case, get the area you want to use and paste it near the spot you want it. Then, make the texture selection thingie (red and purple lines) square, then right click, and rotate area and mirror area until it's pointing the way you want it. Once that's done, you can copy and paste it anywhere and it will stay rotated. You can even make patterns of them rotated.

Alternately, you can use textures from a track that already exists. There are one or two exceptions but most track makers will let you use textures freely and anyway you want.

well phineus hate to say this but i already did all that, and none of the patterns or textures fits the other side of the road, thats why im trying to figure out if there is another track with the same type of road as crazy98 or if i have to make it myself or find it somewhere else....

Try this one. It has the c98 textures from evo. The dirt and the road make a full circle and I think you'll find the parts where they join each other easier to work with.

Just make patterns and paste them into your track. If you get a too many textures message, just purge the unused ones (with the red broom in the texture box).
