Hi All: Years ago, when I found TORCS, I was looking for an open source racing game which will let me export the tracks and cars to POV-Ray, so I could render some realistic road scenes. TORCS looked like a very good candidate, and indeed it was possible to export the geometry to POV-Ray via Blender, but I didn't find any automatic way to get a spline for the track path (so that I could place the cars and camera). I abandoned the project and started to get addicted to race with TORCS... But recently I figured out a way to get the track spline into POV-Ray, via Wings3D. The method is bit convoluted, and I still have some problems, but the results are starting to look good: http://www.ignorancia.org/en/index.php?page=torcs2pov The page is still blank, it contains just the images... I will put there a little tutorial about the process, ASAP. Comments are welcome, and the TORCS Team are free to use any of these images for any purpose.
