Autobahn 81 – Development Update

Hello everyone!

It's time for another progress update on the Autobahn 81 project.

Over the past weeks I've been focusing primarily on environment work and bringing the interchange area closer to its real-world counterpart. A lot of effort went into refining materials, vegetation placement, road markings and overall scene composition to make the area feel more believable both from the driver's perspective and from aerial viewpoints.

One of the biggest challenges recently has been the vegetation. Assetto Corsa's original rendering pipeline has some limitations when it comes to tree materials, so I've spent quite a bit of time experimenting with CSP shader adjustments, transparency settings and custom material configurations. The results are finally starting to look much better in-game, especially when viewed from different angles and lighting conditions.

The latest screenshots also show significant progress on:

• Bridge and overpass detailing

• Roadside barriers and retaining walls

• Vegetation placement and forest density

• Highway signage integration

• Material and lighting refinements

• General atmosphere and scene composition

The interchange is now fully drivable inside Assetto Corsa, which makes testing and iteration much faster. Being able to drive through the area helps identify scale issues, material problems and visual inconsistencies that are difficult to spot inside the 3D editor.

There is still a lot left to do before the project reaches the quality level I'm aiming for.

As always, thank you for your support and patience. Every bit of progress brings the project one step closer to release.

See you in the next update!
