lots of edge extruding makes for a very time-consuming project. However I have high hopes for the ingame product.
Just a few pics of my progress so far.

Redrock _race_pawneg

I'm doing Empire City after this.
Also, I want a picture of your cliffs. Next 24 hrs.

What happened to that other map you were making?

Nope. Not if you keep making comments like that. Hey what happened to Contempelation? Haven't seen any updates on that. Also, said map's cliffs are pointy. Never seen pointy cliffs.

Also, i'd like to point out that all of work is UNPROTECTED. I want to perfect my stuff so that when releasing comes around, you don't get crap for content.

The model is original, the textures are not. I took them from NFS3, in all their 64x64 pixel glory.
The track shape is roughly based off of Redrock Ridge from said game, but I decided against replicating it. Many features from the original map are here, such as the tall rock formation, the tunnels, the train overpass, and the rock outcroppings in the middle of the road. And instead of teh large satellite dish, there's gonna be the pictured forerunner structure. The bitmaps on that were taken from a Halo 2 texture pack on this site. I made custom bumpmaps for it using the free program "Crazy Bump".

Also I intend on making the road a little more varying in the height department, and also count on there being custom road signs.

It'll be difficult, but I'll try it. Aquatica is fun, I have to admit.
Empire city just had a cool feeling to it. Felt like a near future metropolis ruled and oppressed by big corporations. Plus the banked stairs in front of the church were cool.

I meant to put atlantica, my bad.

All I can say is very nice, couldn't do better myself.

I remember this track! from back when I got my ps1! it'd be awesome if you could get it into halo, mb with some real cars as well.... good luck! I can try and help you find some car models if you want.. PM me on xfire: zsdg06

as for naming, call it wtvr its called in the game.

It is a proven fact, that for any racing map to be truely epic, banjo music is required.

looks good so far :)

Kiwi can not agree more with this.

The texture was downloaded from here: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1448
The model is mine, made to fit the shape of the texture.

Well it seems that Max wanted to corrupt the file, so now this project is left in limbo. I had planned to use Matooba's vehicles along with the red viper and a civvi hog in race mode, but now I can't. I'm not exactly sure if I feel like redoing this project, as I was quite far into it. If I do, it'll be a smaller track.

:( remember to back up your files next time.

I saved three different versions of it, and somehow all of them got messed up.

even on a flash drive? thats a good place to save em cause theres a good chance it wont get messed up there.

I love that program. Just so awesome.

oo very nice *clap*
