NEWS Assetto Corsa Vows Renewal & a New Trailer
With the release date closing in, the team over at Kunos, released another cool trailer to showcase the console version of Assetto Corsa. We say console version, but other than the fact of running on consoles, there is nothing less about it, compared to the PC version. However, we all know (and interact) on the Internet, so you might be aware of 2 general concerns:
1/ that the game's strong point - the physics simulation - will be toned down in the console version
2/ once that is done, the PC version will follow also, in order... -

DLC Backlog reloaded: Japanese and Red Pack DLCs
2 of them, to be precise. We refer of course, to the same period of time: end of April to present day. It started with probably the most requested DLC in Assetto Corsa: The Japanese Pack. 7 Japanese car icons, with very different personalities, in both classic and modern flavor.
The Japanese Pack was released on May 18th, and for 4.99EUR one got:
Mazda MX-5 2016 and MX-5 CUP
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is famous to be a highly capable racing platform; it is known as the best-selling roadster in the world, and some even claim that this model is the most road-raced car world-wide.... -
AC Update Changelog.. backlog :D
It's been a long time since we had some writing here.. about 3 months on the calendar. To give this a positive turn, it goes to show the speed at which AC is evolving. At that time we were speaking about AC update 1.5, which wasn't even out yet. Now we are already at 1.7.5 and we are counting days until 1.8 release, in a couple of weeks.
Every increment of AC updates, brings a nice package of features and improvements. Some might argue these are things that should've been there in the first place, but still.. it's good to see the energy around this project.
Some of the... -
Photogrammetry and Star Wars Battlefront
Thanks to @Mr Whippy 's hint, I "stummbled" accros this presentation : Photogrammetry and Star Wars Battlefront. Forget about EA, forget about SW. Look at the process of creation. So inspiring. And so revealing. To see how much work people put into creating state-of-the-art content. And also to get an idea about the tools we have acces to nowdays. I strongly suggest you to watch the presentation. It gives an overwiew on the approach, and it's filled with small very usefull... -

NEWS AC v1.5 Dev Diary - Part 1
Few days (or lots of, depending on which side you are) before the release of the 1.5 Update, Kunos made a public post regarding the current state and some of the plans for the 31st of March. With the 1.5 update, existing players will also receive the Bonus Pack #2, which will feature 3 new cars and a new track (from what we've seen so far). Looking forward to !

TUTORIAL Getting Danish landscape information Tutorial Part 1
Does not work anymore!
The download site has been removed and been replaced with something, that I have yet to understand how to use.
It is still possible to go to the http://miljoegis.mim.dk/cbkort site and view Ortho photos across the ages.
I have used this with Greenshoot to get earlier Ortho photos piece by piece.
Happy Racing
There are multiple types of data, helpful to the trackbuilder available from the Danish government.
Such as DHM (The Danish Height model) and Orthophotos (airplane photos). DHM consists of LIDAR, that is LAS pointclouds compressed into... -
TUTORIAL LIDAR (Point cloud) to mesh tutorial
Updated 31/1-2017. Comments about experience's with exported mesh added. Tutorial is finished.
This is to keep others from having as bumpy, a ride into this as i have had. Many frustrations.
Finding the right way into LIDAR point clouds, is like navigating a dense jungle.
There are so many purposes and ways to use LIDAR data, that we have acces to a forest full of free and paid for software, plus lots of file formats. Ad to that, all the things you can do to those files.
Created with CloudCompare 2.6.2 and Blender 2.76b

NEWS Assetto Corsa 2015 and beyond - as they called it.
One year back (and one year before that) "as usual", Kunos prepared a big announcement for December 31st. This year is no exception, even if it also throws a glimpse to what has already happened before looking towards 2016. While it is true that hopes were to release about 50 cars in 2015, we did see no less than 32 new cars added to the game, as free bonus content or DLC. Some might argue about "countless" number of DLCs, but I/we prefer this model to any other like "full new game every year" or... -
TOOL SAS.Planet - download huge maps on PC
Some time back, I was writing about GMS, a tool that can help you download big maps on your PC. Today I'm writing about a similar tool, that has acces to an even larger map database, and has many other useful capabilities. It was actually mentioned by @liquido in this post, but we didn't yet have a separate discussion about it.
The tool is called, SAS.Planet (or SASPlanet... -

AC Update AC 1.3.x update(s) + Audi R8 bonus
For the record (as we aim keeping track of all AC's updates) we'll just post this here .
The 1.3 update brought a lot of improvements, most of them pre-announced in the live sessions Stefano used to make. One of my favorites must be the 64bit build, pushing away all those memory limitation situations. You can choose your favorite ones, from the complete changelogs bellow. More so since there were no less than 7 micro-updates since the 1.3 original launch, bringing us a bonus Audi R8 V10 car in the process.
Update 1.3
Code:1.3 - 64bit build - Car...

TOOL LIDAR data - available for free for England
Are you a track modder ? Good ! Are you passionate about UK tracks ? Well, even better !
Because the UK's Environment Agency decided to make all the data collected in the last 17 years, available for everyone to use for free. The applications are various, but speaking only for our field of interest, this is huge news for every track modder out there. Getting accurate reference data is one of the most difficult tasks without LS when aiming for a top quality project. Thanks to this decision, it's now possible to access all the 11 terabytes of LIDAR data, and with it most... -
