To put along walls randomly as if growing up at points hard to mow.Add variation of GT curcuit with DRS Zones as per request - Should be sooner rather than later.Re-Render Tree objects without aliasing ?? Trial it ?? – Chroma Keyed (Current placeholders are OK, but not happy)Create Tree objects (Vary tones slightly on textures)Replace close tree objects with new detail objects (Exit t6 and entry to pits) - 3d modelled tree.Add RR to ripple stripsCorrect Bridge entry (Remove RHS ripples and change to RRoad) - track update for 2014.Create pit lane objects (Fill it up). – Looks empty.Fuel Tanks, Fire extinguishers – low LOD.Create crowdCreate Lights ??? – Night race ? Later Version ?Texture MuseumTexture Kart Track BuildingTexture Porsche training BuildingColour match other tree objects.Combine far buildings with Skyboxi to stop popups.. and some tree line (End of 2nd straight popup to right of pit building)Review all LOD's..Review 2 track mesh at back of track hairpin (Realroad) distorts due to different mapping coordinates on the 2 meshesFix reflections on bridge (plane for reflections)Re-Optimise Terrain Mesh.. (added more polys than needed)Known issues-------------Cube map windows not working perfectlyNot all object reflections are enabled yet throughout the track (Just track surface and a few objects) - Due to no refelct planes and hence objects dont vertically look correctsUndertrack shadowcaster needs improvemetn to stop low angle shadow inconsistenciesCAMERAS - are default placeholders and are the same for all tracks (BAD).. these need to be done completely.Cromwell town has default placeholder buildings.Large cones in pitlane dont collide properly.
