Additional Remarks: [2]
Add'l Remarks on Use in Blender: - Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are working while pointing the cursor at an UI datafield - Click+hold the L button to set the status of surrounding checkboxes to first chkbox - AIW load time: mostly 8 to 20 sec.; can take some 45 sec. on a 1.6 MB old Spa - Raceline-to-path time: takes a few dozen sec. - Edit>Undo is supposed to work - Deactivate the addon when unused (or else your .blend file gets AIW datatypes)
Explanation Comment: [3]
I'm looking forward to release by this time next week an early version of the Blender AIW Editor. It will provide you the tools to customize AI racing (paths, corridors, speed mult.) and adjust the location of sector and pitlimiter markers. Most of the tasks are straightforward: will do without tutorial; you'd follow instructions in the panel, the script is setting up Blender's tools and preparing stuff. I hope to remedy some import fails (mostly on exotic garage roads) until next week ... ... aah, I'm no programmer---over the years, I was busy in GIS/mapping (Geo Info Sys) -- that is, ever as user -- and this helps in conceiving the stuff and, maybe, builds an intuition for workflow. ----Moreover, I'll see to expand this gtr2tools addon to import/export all the spatial data in the various car and track files (Undertray & Feeler .hdc; the .sp; etc. etc.). And an AIW Surveyor for scratchmade/imported/redo tracks ...
Cam Editor Comment: [4]
Cam Editor? Yes, Cam Editor. It includes MovementPaths/ControlPoints. See the ABC below. Note on (c), I use a target pt. for calculating StaticCams' orientation (pitch,heading only).------I'll add a simple/basic/primitive .GMT mesh importer for v.0.0.3 next week. ---wishing a nice wkend to everybody
