[qoute]Firstly thank you for such a great and robust asset!
I must admit that I feel a bit daunted attempting to take the great work you have done here and apply it.
My team and I are creating a wild west themed game and we bought Curvy in order to create our train tracks and train system.
I need help doing a few things:
1.) Creating the train tracks (which as I understand it will also be the path). From the looks of it there is not a way to provide an existing model and efforts with phen375 have Curvy use that. Instead you create a Lathe type outline that is then extruded. I have been picking apart the example scene with the train but this still confuses me. How can I create a track that is old west themed graphically? Do I need a new material that is Lathe-able?
2.) I found the controls for the speed of the train and for creating and attaching new train cars but I cannot seem to find a way to create a "speed system". Obviously we would like the train to start out moving at full speed, then when it approaches a station play the sounds, slow the train and its animations and eventually stop at the station, wait, then start back up again. Is this sort of thing possible? How would I go about doing that?
I am happy to research and tinker I just think I need a push in the right direction; get me on the right track you could say [/quote]
Much obliged in particular! I will investigate this more tonight. I value your assistance. Grin
