Inland Empire, CA

[CarLuver69]

***PROJECT CANCELED***

Ladies and gentlemen, this could be MM2's biggest track project ever conceived...



This track is going to be heavily based off of San Francisco's scale, so expect it to be a pretty decently sized map. If you're interested in taking part of this project, feel free to PM me anytime. I am going to be very dedicated to this project, and expect everything to be fully working by the time it is released.

I will be needing a lot of support throughout this project, so try not to put me down. I want to begin dedicating my time to this project as soon as possible - most likely, I will bring the road system to school and try to work on it there. Any other projects that I may have going on at the moment may be affected by this project!

If you want an idea of what this is based off of, here is the screenshot from Google I took -



Obviously, there will be streets missing that would simply make this project take WAAAY too long, so there will be areas/zones that will be strongly based off of the real life area, but they will surely not be as big as they would be if you were to drive there in real life. This is supposed to be a miniature version of the Inland Empire, so there needs to be the details of California within this map. Players need to feel as if they are in the beautiful state of California, and there needs to be things within this map that will keep players wanting to come back for more.

I am really putting myself to the test with this map. It will be a collaboration of all the skills I have acquired these past few years that I've been messing with 3DS Max and Adobe Photoshop, among many other programs that I have used.

ALL HELP IS WANTED. I greatly appreciate any and all help, and if you decide to help me out, I will greatly reward you. You will have an area dedicated to you in not the cheesiest of ways, but you will be mentioned.

For now,

Nice idea, I may help when finish current map projects

[RacingFreak]

HELL YEAH. Make it using SF base and it will be win. I can help with traffic cars making (new textures for the Ford Mustang GT Cruiser (current California livery)), etc. Too bad, I don`t know anything about making tracks yet, but for other things I`m ready.

Gimme the job

[CarLuver69]

I told you I wanted to start as soon as possible -



I'm currently placing some simple roads down (MULTIPLE OBJECTS) and preparing for intersections and other things like that. Basically, I'm working to where if I mess up, it wasn't worth anything anyways.

[RacingFreak]

Looks great

I have idea - finished 1990 Ford Escort LX as bonus car to go with the map

[CarLuver69]

Har har, you're so funny. There's going to be quite a few easter eggs...you'll just need to find them.

Tomorrow I will start work on a "storyboard" - I will make a list of what I want from this city, what kind of easter eggs there are, what the different districts look like, how the road's should elevate (if at all), and finally figure out a way to connect the freeway system together (as in, debate on whether or not it should be 3 freeways inter-connected or just one big freeway system).

What would you like to help with RacingFreak? Some buildings that I'll place around?

[RacingFreak]

Would be great if I have the opportunity helping you with buildings, but.. I`m thinking of typical Californian traffic cars, made out from Angel`s ones. And a Ford Mustang GT Cruiser with California livery (current)

[CarLuver69]

That'd be cool. You could be in charge of the cars that are found laying around the city, parked cars to be exact. I plan on having dealerships near the "Charter Oak" district, so yeah...there's also a couple of used car places on this one road in "Covina"...there's so many possibilities!

I have to go to bed now.

[Kunal2045]

I think its a fantastic track! Great choice of place too.

I have an optional suggestion; why not have an easter egg where theres a room filled with credits/makers of this map written on the wall, like their names, reasons for help, etc... And a lowpoly model of your Ford Escort placed in there too. But its your choice.

Cool track!

[StanOfGB]

I want this to be Excellent, at least like NY quality, because I've been there
$40 says this gets abandoned

[tonius11]

Looks great

[CarLuver69]

This project isn't going to be abandoned - worst case scenario is that we hit a roadblock during development and need an expert to solve the problem

[Franch88]

Great project and especially planning of it, realizing of how hard and big to make it is. Have designed the map of what it'll be, and really nicely too, is a good step to start the modeling. What done so far with it looks good, reminds of my old track making try modeling it in Cinema 4D (grounds, roads and intersections).
Would be better see your car modeling project done before, tracks making most of the times can be harder, however, good luck with your works.

Very cool concept

Interesting design, nice hudmap
