Does anyone else love Split/Second? I know it's an arcade racer, but I just got it on steam after playing it like 5 years ago on PS3 and I'm hoping to get to play some online once I unlock everything again.

>>BSP format
>>nice easy to calculate angles
>All of the area is composed of convex 3d shapes, made up of points.
>These shapes need to be simple enough to calculate that no irrational or repeating numbers exist. everything has to terminate in a 0 somewhere.
>this means that things need to be in convenient perfect cubes wherever possible, but convenient relationships of other angles exist. Unfortunately, I don't care to hand-calculate them every time, it's a lot of trig and calculus I'd rather not do by hand on a road made up of thousands of shapes. Trial and error can lead to useful configurations, though.
>there is a way to make smoother geometry but it begins with a convenient shape, and to the game, that first shape is the 'important' one that determines visibility and physics and such. That shape is then sculpted into a nice smooth banking or climb/drop instead of a boring and suspension-murdering sharp ramp. Making these shapes takes a lot of time though, and probably should be avoided when mathematical precision is required (i.e. in the case of making a smooth curve for a car)
>In any case, because of how things are calculated for the game, curves are made of a series of shapes, and those shapes have to either be perfectly flat in every orthagonal dimension, and have those flat planes occur on nice, simple angles that won't result in too many digits after the decimal after calculation.
>Plus, while they can still climb per shape, but that makes stairs rather than ramps.
>It's a lot of shit, I don't know how to condense it. Also I'm drunk.

FUCK these kart races were fun. Both links were great fucking races but the 1st link is definitely a much better race.

honestly it paralyzes me in fear whenever im trying to make anything, since it feels like anything thats not a perfectly flat straight line is just going to make people complain.

which one are you?
