So far I've tried the Unity Spline package and Dreamteck Splines, but I think I will need to buy Curvy to get what I want.
The main issue with Dreamteck, when extruding or placing along path, is you can only add a mesh, not a prefab. So let's say I want to add a bunch of street lights along a street, I add the prefab, but only the mesh is used. So the actual light source isn't added. I'm left with a bunch of dark poles. Does Curvy let you add an entire prefab (like you can with Unity Splines) or does it only add the mesh component like Dreamteck?
I would use Unity's solution, but there is no good way to bend a mesh to a spline (except extrude, but that is even more lacking in features). I assume that is all possible with Curvy.
Lastly, I am wanting to allow the player of the game to create their own paths. I assume I could wrap Curvy easily enough to allow them to build at runtime.
Thanks for any answers you may give!
