go-kart model

yea, that one has a lot of character.

I'm leaving for a long overdue vacation at the end of this week, so there wont be any updates for a while.

been back for a few weeks but I have been spending most of my time doing r&d and other not so glamorous work. Most recently me and my partner have been experimenting with the Unity engine to see if it might be a better option than rolling our own engine from various open source bits and pieces.

I wish I had more hats and stuff, but all I have to offer is a skybox for spaghetti west:

I'm planning on having a color slider for skin color so you can stop calling rev. sharpton.

I'm not expecting repeating textures to be very noticeable when people are zooming by at high speed. I continue to tweak and improve on stuff as we try an implement things and look at it longer. The tracks in particular will probably be tweaked a lot once the driving model is finished and I can drive through them. I'm happy with the direction things are going though.

already posted a viking earlier:

chef is a good idea though.

By the way there wont be any updates until the city lets me back into my neighborhood, I am evacuated at the moment.
