maddle Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ok let s talk about something not so simple(at least with lightwave) I know the way A:M works and that it can offer some crazy tools for every kind of situations but what about this one ? i want to make a race track and i want every curve to bank on the Z axis (which is a bank).Is this possible ? In blender you can have a "hand" on the bank rotation axis before you extrude an object. Ideas around ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoman Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Easy, at least I think, the sweeper plugin does that quite well. EX: A few tweaks is all that are needed. Hope it helps Photoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photoman Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ok I is this what you meant by 15-45-90 degrees? It needs a few tweaks but it took me about 1min to model. Photoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddle Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 This not what i mean , in some software you have a bank control on cp , imagine these NAScar track or roller coaster when the outside extremity goes up . By hand it s just a nightmare. Banked_Curve.mdl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
