Transitioning or blending two mesh extrusions
#8
No apology needed Smile I actually just checked back for the first time, so it was perfect timing lol Wink

But then, your tunnel will have the same shape all the time, which I guess is not what you want. In this case, you can maybe process the generated mesh afterwards, to add some noise to the tunnel's mesh to simulate a rugged/varying surface.

I will be processing the mesh in the end and having the same shape won’t work for my case (at least my implementation of it). The scale is really useful though. I am using it for a few transitions etc. your documentation has been very helpful.

The infinite track example scene has a script that updates the generator at runtime, you can take inspiration from it.

I will check out the example you mentioned. That sounds like it should work.

The shapes are generated by my script already, so i can just build the list at runtime at the same time as my current iterations. This should work!

it will be easier to show with screen shots and examples. I will get something posted up at some point. I think I have a good direction now. I will post up my progress! I have a git repo with my scripts, but it is not updated currently. I will upload what I do and share a link here if you want to check it out!
