Hi there

been messing around with Bobs track builder for a few weeks now with some good results

.

so i thought i,dd share what i,ve found out so you can make your own race tracks easy.

Quick video showing how to export a basic track from bobs track builder to 3drad.
things needed
3drad ,
BobsTrackBuilder,
Deep Exploration,

Video here
http://vimeo.com/13427744

Don,t forget if you are using custom xpacks you need to extract the folder to were you export your track before importing into Deep Exploration or textures will not show.
Plus I,ve noticed that certain object do not show in Deep Exploration or 3drad after exporting? Ripple strips are a good example and custom xpack object.
The only way round this if it happens i,ve found is to export your track from Deep Exploration to .3ds format ,Then import into 3dsmax Were the objects will show but without textures, So then use the material editor to add the textures and export to 3drad and all should be good.

Basic oval track
you can download here http://3drad.info/2010/07/18/basic-oval-track-1-for-3drad/

some pics of what i,ve been making.
i,ll share them when finshed

HAVE FUN

any probs just ask

Genious! Do you also know how to use XPacks? I would love a tutorial on that. Create your own props and railling.

yer but it exports in multiple .x so deep exploration merges them into one.

Daniel

not tryed making my own yet.
but i think it mite be easyer just making the objects and exporting straight to 3drad.

hi

im wondering if anyone here knows how to get bobs track builder to work with windows 7 64bit i keep getting this message

I contacted them and all i got was they don't support vista or win 7 and to ask around because some people have had success

im glad i didn't buy it straight off

regards
mark

Peugeotmi16, no idea if it helps, but have you tried Virtual PC from Microsoft?

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/

Worth a try, it is free anyway (except for a fair chunk of HD space, ha!).

like dreamer says

found this on btb forum

Heres the deal:

In order to get BTB to work under Win 7 you need to do this.

Download the new XP mode for Windows 7 here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx

Grab the XP mode d/l first and install it, then grab the WVPC d/l and install it.
Reboot, then run it. It'll take a bit for it to setup. Once that's done run Windows update from within XP mode " NOT from 7 "
Run update again, then you should be set except for DX Websetup. Grab that here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Install BTB, now it will work just fine.
You will have to move over your license to this new install on the REAL Vdrive it resides at.

You also need to move over all your Xpacks and your project folder.

When I say reboot, I mean inside XP NOT 7.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and BTB works fine. I use rFactor too.

My Tip: Install DirectX 9.0c August 2009 (version 9.27.1734) and all things works fine.

looks like i cant do that because i have windows 7 home premium 64 bit says i have to upgrade windows to be-able to download it so looks like no BTB for me until its win7 compatible

You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To upgrade visit Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade.
