![]() I have taken some videos of me driving around it, but more on that a little later. To see what I had only seen as lines on a page be transformed into a virtual but usable world was amazing. To see the circuit in the game, with the right elevations, circuit widths, corner sizes, it is a real pleasure to see and experience. I then used a racing simulator game called rFactor so that I could actually drive the circuit. I modelled the initial circuit layout in a program called Bob’s Track Builder which a circuit-modelling specific program that is very powerful. ![]() So I entered the realm of racing simulation gaming. However I thought about it and felt I needed to ‘drive’ the circuit before I signed off on the layout in order to get a feel of the flow and the characteristics of the circuit. Since last time, I initially concentrated on the conceptual design of the main grandstand and pit building, feeling that the circuit layout was fairly finalised. I think it has a better ring to it! The reason for this is that the circuit will be located close to the town of Sunbury, near the outskirts of Melbourne metropolitan area. More and more these day I find myself referring to the circuit as the Sunbury International Circuit instead of, say, the Australian International Motorsport Centre, for example. I have taken some big strides with regard to the design of the Sunbury International Circuit. The founder of SpeedScenes is currently trying to sort out licensing issues, but is hoping to have the mats on sale very shortly! I would love to be able to show everyone what it looks like because it is really, super dooper cool! SIC – SUNBURY INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT Adults I am sure will love it as well, seeing real life circuits portrayed on a play mat, which usually contain a hodge-podge of roads, intersections, racing roads etc. This has meant that some minor revisions have been made to the mat, but it still looks incredible and kids will absolutely love. In addition, this was done as it was found that the smaller details on the original design were not coming out in the manufactured mat, which is basically a carpet. The original design was delivered in early April, however after a post-prototype manufacture review, it was decided that the mat would be revised to make it more child-friendly. In any case, here’s a round up of what I have been working on in the last 2 months! SPEEDSCENES Hopefully this will ease up soon and I can concentrate a bit more on my design work. Truth be told though I have had a very busy couple of months at my normal job, which to a degree has effected my design work getting to work early, staying back late, having it on my mind etc. I have been slowly chipping away at my projects, starting new ones, finishing much enjoyed ones, doing a fair bit of admin work ( yaaaay) and at some stage I even went to my 9-5 job. So I have been hard at work (at most times, I swear) over the past couple of months on StylePixelStudios stuff.
