Tracks Belgrade Grand prix 1939

[Pink Pig]

Hi everyone! I have no experience with doing any mods and would like to start learning. My idea is to recreate the 1939 Belgrade Gp which was the only ever gp held here in Serbia and it was the last win for Tazio Nuvolari and Auto union. I know its probably more complicated than something else but its the only thing i am really motivated getting into right now. I already started gathering as much info as i can about the track itself, luckily the whole track still exists but the surface is not cobblestones anymore. I definitely need someone to guide me on how to start learning about these things. I heard some people use Blender to do it so is that a good place to start? Have in mind im a complete novice, only experience i have is with Photoshop and that is not that much of experience. I know these are the questiong often asked so if that is the case just inform me where to look and who to ask because i don't do this for money or anything just want to bring this track back to life and drive the cars that raced there at the time. The race is complitely forgotten here due to communists coming to power after ww2.

Blender is a great and free bit of software that is more than capable of letting you create this

I would advice to watch the track tutorial videos by Lilski.

It's a 6 part series sofar and it walks you through some of the possible techniques.

As a basis, it might be worth reading up on the written track tutorials out there. These are all from the official AC forums, and some can be found elsewhere. This list is just a quick copy and paste from there
Build your first track - basic guide | Proper techniques for track making | Multiple track layouts | Point cloud data to 3D mesh | Track materials and shaders | ksPerPixel_multilayer shader | 3D Grass tutorial | Grooves tutorial | Camera-facing crowd tutorial | Creating semaphores (start lights) | Create AI lines | Time Attack mode | A to B tracks | Reverb | Track side cameras tutorial | Track side cameras information


It's a lot of information to take in. Just start basic. With a road and a bit of grass next to it, and work your way towards a full track.

How to MOD ! (Links & ref)

Hey there. In my Caterham (& modding) journey to Assetto, i keep going back to useful posts, sometimes savings links as shortcut to be sure to keep that valuable info on how to something in particular. Today i decided it would be nice to do a sticky note where we would edit this post in useful...

It's good to have a project you want to do as well, gives you something to aim for. I dabbled with Blender for literally years without ever really getting into it until I found a project I really wanted to complete, that was the motivation I needed to keep going and keep learning.

Blender is probably the best choice for a hobbyist, it's complex and powerful but it's free so all it costs you is the time it takes to learn how to use it.

Hello , how are you, i hope this project is still active. If you need any help regarding track itself, some photos or any thing else regarding the race, feel free to contact me. I am industrial designer but my hobby was collecting and colorizing photos from Belgrade Grand Prix that was driven on September the 3th 1939. Since i am really passionate about this GP, i will be more than happy to help you in any way. I was living in Belgrade whole my life, now i am not, but still please, i have lots of data, photos, and good will.
PS. Picture before the last one, with Tazio, is from Silverstone, not from Belgrade. Others are.
