As some of you know, i love to make tracks.
I almost always do retros, but have tried to start making more nitros, which ive struggled with, because i suck at making good layouts, more specifically, I have lots of trouble thinking of them.
Does anyone have some advice or techniques i can use that will help me with it, including but not limited to making the thinking process of coming up with layouts quite a bit easier?

I usually just make a circle while waving my mouse lol :genius:
Anyway you want some variety (boosts, cannons, obstacles)
Avoid long straightaways unless they got boosts
Avoid long turns as they're just straightaways in disguise (N64 Kalimari Desert)
Avoid making everything a perfect 90°/45° turn
Avoid having too many 180° turns, especially one after another

When I made tracks I remember doing either of these techniques:
- Messing around in the Quick Mode trackbuilder before drawing that layout in Paint.Net and editing that further
- Doodling a sort of shape and elaborating a race track from that.
Hope this helps! ^ ^

I usually draw lines in random direction, eventually forming a layout.
- Listen to everything Kernell said
- Make sure the track lasts around 1:30-1:45 (Perfect lenght)

for the length, many people tell me to always keep it at least a few seconds under 2 minutes. is this true, or is everyone else wrong?

1:30 - 2:00 is the ideal range
A track that is too short is preferred over a track that is too long so really try not to go over 2 minutes
