Deep Sea Diving

Greetings TrackmaniaExchange,

let's start this month with another track from me. And today I. am. presenting. you.

DEEP SEA DIVING!

and if this name doesn't give you any idea what this track is about, imagine: You are diving through the water surrounded with fish, crabs and even sharks. Deeper and deeper until you reach the complete darkness of the ocean. Have fun!

Track Deskription:
A ~53sec long speedy dirt map 95% made of dirt platforms. Transitions are not as present as in other maps, however you'll find yourself in the very heavy scenery/mediatracker work to make the underwater effect as realistic as possible!

Buildingprocess:
[~10h] I think this track has the longest active building time so far. I spend quite some time with the route and several changes through feedback.
[~20h] The scenery took me really long to make. Also finding fitting custom objects and placing them.
[~8h] The mediatracker was also quite a challenge. To get a underwater vibe, creating the GPS effects and not to forget, let the magma underwater have some magma-ish color.
[~15h] For now it is quite average in time compared to my other tracks, but on this one I had some serious issues with filesize, lightmaps and the signs. To fix all of these issues I surely sped a lot of time.
[~7h] Last but not least I have to take my time to write this comment and make all screenshots as well as the video.

In total my estimate for the time I spent on this track is 50h!

Thumbnail:
On this one I used the jpeg compression to reduce the filesize of the screenshot below 500kb.
Here you can find the thumbnail in slightly better quality: Deep Sea Diving Screenshot

Signs & Banner:
The awesome parallax signs & the banner is a creation of   Rexasaurus.

Music:
The music on this one is a mixture of 2 Audiotracks:

Whales - Animalistix

Subnautica Ost - Finding Life
