What perhaps adds confusion is that the up-vector always is perpendicular to the tangent(direction) of the spline. It can only rotate around the tangent at a given position. Usually this is what people expect when moving objects along a spline.
If that's not what you want, you can create a custom controller and override the ApplyTransformRotation() method. E.g. you can find the last and next CP there and lerp between their rotation etc...
Does that help?
Yes I need to create custom controller then as I don't want it to rotate around the tangent of the spline. Could I ask if there is a function to call to find my relative position between two points on the spline? E.g. A function that returns that I am .X% along the current spline segment? If so I can get this working quickly.
Thanks!
