Overview
Neon Blur is race track I designed in the gravity defying Rocket Racing game mode in Fortnite. Speed through a cyber city feeling the velocity as the lights of the neon signs race past you. Using this project I was able to study into track design both realistic and arcade to find out the differences and to see where I could combine the two design philosophies.
