Overview

Molten Mountainway is a custom track created by KHacker35000vr. It was his first track to be completely made with 3ds Max. The concept for the track was made in November 2012, but modeling phase didn't start until 2013. The track takes place on a volcanic island with lava flowing down the track, and a cave section which drive through until you reach the finish line.

Development

Show text

The first design of Molten Mountainway appeared in August 2012, but there weren't real plans for creating a new CT. The serious creation of a complete design didn't start until two months later. Then after the KMP Modifier v3 was finished the real modeling started. Shortly after the start in 3ds Max the actual model was already done for a big part but after the first week of January motivation dropped and the modeling stopped. Real progress hasn't been made until the end of March and shortly after the revival the full model was finished and texturing started. Unlike the creator's previous projects, the textures aren't made by WorldsBoss but are ripped from Super Mario Galaxy and edited by kHacker himself. After the last improvements and the lava was added, the model was completed at the second half of June. Shortly after the model was completed, the KCL was taking shape, but until now it hasn't completely been finished. As Augustus started, the track was put on a hold for a month. Progress was made with small steps, but after the announcement of a track voting stream for CTGP Revolution many hours were made and the 'trailer' was uploaded. Sadly, the track posted for the stream froze on Wii. The freeze is later resolved with help from Chadderz. When the final Wii testing stage began, another unknown mid-game freeze came up while playing VS offline. This delayed the development stage a bit but the expected date of release stayed the same.

Recording

Just like BigOto2 has done with Halogen Highway, the full creation containing all modeling, texturing and other stuff has been recorded. Not only does this give a time-lapse where progress can be visible, but it is also possible to see the total working time which is used to find out how far progress is.
