High Stakes (a Re-Volt Track + WIP)

This is a track I'm working on for Re-Volt. I'm using the fan-made Blender "HabitatB" plugin by MarvTheM and Dummiesman for the sole purpose for making & modifying Re-Volt related files. It'll be done when it's done. I'm using the latest stable version of HabitatB, but you could download the dev version, but be weary of bugs.

UPDATE:
And thus, the journey ends. It's complete.

The track's preview image. I made it look like it's coming from a TV screen, but not really.

The track design (9-08), before I made changes. It was in an isometric view, and the part of the track behind it was just a slope with 2 small bumps on it. This is the .ncp (collision) version, which is a nightmare to get it working properly.

The track design (9-08) in a single colour, but with highlighted pieces on where to modify. I've already started modifying the pieces, and lowered the walls, so it would be a more original experience.

The track map. This is just the bare basics, but I'm showing it to you, anyways.

The .W track (9-21) with reused assets from my 80s Aesthetics track as a placeholder. There's still things to work on, because modifying or removing certain pieces comes to result of a nightmarish abomination. The downsides of 3rd party mods.

The custom "Dwegin" HUD. This is the part I have to mention about Re-Volt only accepts bitmap (.BMP) files. Their use of transparency is pure black, and nothing else (other than the HUD, where the alpha only accepts a certain shade to take effect).

Continuing with the HUD, the HUD is actually in PNG, disguised as a BMP, so I could render that properly. This only works on the fanmade RVGL, which is Re-Volt on OpenGL.

This is the .NCP version (9-22), and this wall is surprisingly a nightmare, but doesn't seem like it. In game, I get this jittery movement when colliding this wall.

A bizarre issue when I'm trying to light up the track: No light. Also, new textures.

Fixed the lighting issue. Marv told me that I had to get Jigebren's addon for Blender 2.73 (which I have) to fix the issue. Also, the HUD.

A screenshot of the epic track. The buildings are piss-easy to make, but beforehand I apparently hit the limit of lights I could add. Turning off a few window lights (and ignoring the ones that's not visible) will do.

This near-invisible piece here is the skybox. This was actually taken & heavily modified from Smuggler's Run... The Game Boy Advance version.

Another screenshot. You had to name your separate models small & discreet, or the game registers it's a different object. That's what happen to the ship crate walls.
