Jerez?

Someone is working on Jerez

is blender working good? it is also available on linux so maybe i will do some models

We learn blender at school and I like it I just don't know if exporting a .blend file to a 3DS max file is possible/easy...

It should be possible to export to FBX format and then use the FBX2EDF converter.
Please report if it works.

I just noticed that you can export to a .3ds file directly from blender

The FBX converter would allow to skip 3dsmax.

I'll check it out Thank you

Don't know if this is going to work But normally it should since it's a simple plane.

3 hours I think Noss or Jannau does this in 30 minutes

I would put it into game like that to make sure it plays ok before messing with the kerbs,

Of course, I'll try to finish the surface tonight I just wanted to see if I could add kerbs using a curve and an array

the limit of polygons is by your pc config in first. By me the export begins to crash about 300 000 polys, i know that noss can export more than 500 000 polys.
For a good fps in game i think the best is to be between 150 000 and 250 000.
I work on aragon and note that the basic version have many walls of tyres, all tyres are modellised, and they represent more than half ofall polys pf the track, so i rebuild them.
Many persons have had shutting down fps because these tyres walls.
First rule i've learned in 3d was: build things with the least possible polygons you can, the big part is to make textures looking like the real. With that rule you will have a gain of building time and a gain in rendering(if you want to make animations), and of course a gain of treatment ingame.
