BTB Corners

[Fergie]

Probably a very noobish question - how do I get corners perfectly curved like a pro? A lot of mine seem very jagged and generally piss poor.

reduce the panel length in the corners. (that is, assuming BTB will let you. Mine won't accept more than 1 track surface property, but then again I'm using the trial version.)

The main problem of BTB's curves is that not possible to insert points in outside (longer) side of the curve, in contrast of 3ds Max. You have to use the same number of points both inside and outside curve's borders.

Anyway, the solution is to reduce the painel lenght as Supra4 said. Default is 5 meters, too long for some tight corners.

Thank you very much, I can actually make a track that doesnt look like shit.

The trial version should have all the functionality of the full version.

Thanks for the info I never thought of doing it this way. I usually increase the number of nodes in the corners after the elevation, camber, width, and trackside terrain is set.

You can set individual section properties. You will need to CTRL click spots around the track at the beginning and end of each section you want to modify.
