Could someone please make a video tutorial showing how to make the white chalk lines for your track in photoshop? boblob801 has a youtube video where he does this, but it is extremely, unbelievably confusing. AL167 uses a much simpler, but better photoshop technique in his videos, but he has yet to cover this aspect of track building. If anyone could do this it would be greatly appreciated!

On a side note, the downfall of boblob801's tutorial is he ASSUMES that the viewer is a master-level photoshop artist. Some of us are beginners, and have never done this type of thing, and are totally lost when the person making the tutorial is flying around photoshop at light-speed, and changing various settings with no explanation.  In the future, please follow AL'S template of not confusing the crap out of the viewer. Remember back to when you 1st learned this process and didn't understand 90% of what is going on. I personally feel that this will help expand the track-building community. If I didn't have direct support from my good friend MXPRO318, I would have thrown my hands up in the air and given up without even giving it a shot. At first, building a track is a very tall order. We just need lots of beginner tutorials like AL is doing and I think we will see a large increase in participants. Especially considering the dis-banding of rainbow, and how god-awful alive is. The die hard mva fans will eventually realize that Reflex is the last thing we are ever going to get from the geniuses at Rainbow, and if you want to play the top-notch motocross game, this is it.

I have just downloaded and installed earthworks, (as administrator) When I opened it or the first time, it gave me an error and brought up the earthworks help page, which directed me to Nvidia's driver download page. I have an XFX ATI/Radeon 5870 gpu.... I Google searched "ATI Nvidia Driver conflicts", and proceeded to read one horror story after another. Has anyone installed the Nvidia software that is linked in the earthworks help page over their ATI drivers? On the Nvidia site, under products>Nvidia software>game developer tools, there are some individual programs...would it be possible to just get the specific software needed from here without actually installing Nvidia drivers?....Just a guess..... Any help or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.

PT.2 was awesome work al, it would have taken me months to stumble across those photoshop techniques. shift-clicking..... who knew??!! setting jump height with the opacity??!! WHAT??!! ..... and then the gradient tool... that's some serious high level jedi stuff! Be careful when you open photoshop because al is running around in there with his light saber lol. I'm starting to think al is secretly an ex-rainbow studios developer.....
