HEAT Ezine - Get Your Copy Now!

[Blaxman]

Hey everybody,

As part of the NHeat's 10th anniversary celebration we thought it would be nice to create a single issue of HEAT Ezine for NHeat's 10th anniversary celebration. And this is what you just look at: A single NASCAR Heat ezine issue about the sim's past, present and perhaps future.



Thank you to all people involved on the Ezine making. Long live HEAT!

Interesting read about Smoke there, and BOWTIE, didn't knowmuch of those two, sure I knew smoke made tracks. But intresting to see that even he started at nothing!

I think that is the most I've seen smoke type out since I've known him.....LOL ;D He's always been kind of quiet on the forums for the most part, but he is always there to answer any questions about tracks and stuff. He just does his differently than the guys I'm used to, since smoke uses Multigen more than 3dsmax.

And BOWTIE (Wayne Anderson) is a great guy who I got to know when I was helping on some NR2003 tracks a few years back (like St. Petersburg and North Wilkesboro). He had sent me some of those Heat pictures and also the guitar version of Heat's theme music that he did too. And talk about old school.... he's been around Heat since before it even came out... which is cool in itself. He's a regular visitor to the Mod Squad, and for those who have Nr2003, you guys can find most of his work here:

Cool interviews and timeline articles. Great jobs to all involved.

Fantastic reading, and it is pretty interesting to have witnessed some events that are now considered part of Heat history ;D

Roll on another 10 years of Heat!

Oh.... another thing about BOWTIE. If any of you track makers or potential track makers ever need any specific things made for a track... BOWTIE can make some pretty unique and low poly things such as buildings, grandstands and other trackside type objects.

Here is some of his 3D object work for NR2003:

Here is page 2:

We were talking about objects one day on a NR2003 forum, and I mentioned that I had never seen anyone do up a mobile home yet... and within a day, he had this one done up:

He also said we could convert any of his NR2003 tracks to Heat... but those are mostly all short tracks, and you guys here are mostly into the road courses. But the offer is there.
