This assumes that both platforms are the same height.

The upper part will have a fast trick surface, the bottom will have a sticky road.Īs a rule of thumb, jumps from trick ramps across gaps should be about 5000m to allow jumping with out doing a trick in 50CC mode. On your collision model, draw a line on the drivable surface dividing the bottom 25-35% from the top. The width can be as much as the width of the entire road, or as little as 1000m. To make your own, draw a triangle with a back between 200 and 500m vertically, and 1000 to 2000m from the back to front. There are two options for creating trick ramps: You can model it in your level or you can place an object like Mdush (the small trick ramp in Mario Circuit and Moo Moo Meadows) after importing. First select the entire track, then choose Scale from the Tools Menu.īoost pads can be easily made by drawing flat shapes on your track and applying a different texture to the shapes. If your entire model is too small or large you can use the scale tool to change its size. Respawn points need to be placed on wide sections of track. Avoid making long stretches of narrow roads without any wide sections this can lead to problems when placing respawn points for when players fall off the track.

Narrow sections shouldn't be much less than 1500m (5,000') across. This is the width of most roads in custom tracks. If choose to use English measurements for some reason, 1 meter is equal to 3.2808399 feet.Īn ideal road should be about 4500m (15,000') across. This is because 1 meter = 1 unit in Mario Kart Wii and it is easy to make accurate measurements using the tape measure tool in this template. It is highly recommended to use the Simple Meters template. There are some important guidelines you should follow for the model to be Mario Kart Wii compatible.

There are also other free modeling tools, see 3D Tools for more details. First-time SketchUp users should complete the New Users Video Tutorials before proceeding explaining the basic terms and techniques covered by the tutorials is beyond the scope of this article. If you have never made a 3D model before, it is recommended to use Google SketchUp 8, which is free and easy to learn to use.
