Changelog

• project has migrated from Bob’s Track Builder (Thanks Piddy!) to 3dsMax
  
• a few small tidy-up things
  
• uv unwrapped gravel areas (inc. new textures, based on textures from cgtextures.com)
  
• uv unwrapped road intersections
  
• vertext paint on road, terrain, vegetation, and some other things
  
• aerial photo of terrain now lerps closer to road edge
  
• road surface has additional texture channel, mapped to give illusion of racing line
  
• performance improvements from shadow optimisation
  
• performance improvements from mesh batching, reducing the total number of objects from ~9000 to ~3000
  
• new road decal meshes, and now tagged as ‘decal’ (can be closer to road without z-fighting)
  
• adjustments to wet road effect
  
• adjustments to wet road cube map
  
• viaduct normal map and higher res main texture (same old model)
  
• smoother corner radius for viaduct corner, pub corner, tannery corner, newry corner, mountford corner
  
• pub corner road surface now has bump where union street joins wellington street
  
• control tower now has textures reflecting block construction of the ground floor, and timber construction for the first and second floor
  
• control tower now has higher res normal mapping
  
• control tower now has a smoother windowpane, removing some z-fighting
  
• scratch-made 3d marshal/mechanic meshes
  
• remapping of some fence posts
  
• loading screens biased to 75% width, to display correct aspect on 16:9 monitors
  
• mas files reorganised to reduce overall download size
  
• added missing mipmaps on willow textures, causing a tearing of the texture in “high” texture detail mode (so it’s fixed now)
  
• simple water animation (water is probably flowing too fast, & only spec and normal maps are animated)
