Berms (banked turns += wider & curved road) Pre-purchase query
#2
(05-18-2015, 09:27 PM)'Arakade' Wrote: I want the road flat on the straights but curved at the turns (a bit like a quarter-pipe or some boarder-cross tracks).  However I wish to retain the flat bottom (as if the road hadn't banked at all).
 
If I understand you right, you want the tracks profile curved (rotating around the tracks' local Z axis), but the track itself should align to ground level (min. Y aligned to a plane), rigth? This would be tricky in the current release and you'll have to raise the curve/track manually then to fulfil this condition.

I'm working hard on it, but it's still in dev. But indeed this would be much easier in 2.0: you would create your track and then use a comfort/align modifier to drop it onto a ground plane. This modifier might become part of the initital 2.0 release, but basically the new 2.0 system will make it very easy to create a modifier like this.
