Road Tool

Short Description

Generates customizable road/path meshes along curves.

Description

Creates a road/path mesh along the input curve/spline. This tool allows for detailed customization of the road characteristics including width, height, and alignment. It also provides options for splitting the road at specified intervals.

Properties

Base Properties

  • Curves: Curve to create a path mesh around

  • Width: Width of the path mesh

  • Inside Height: Raises the inner vertices of the mesh

  • Border Height: Raises the border vertices of the mesh

  • Profile Flatten: Flattens the profile from the center to the edges

Profile Settings

  • Profile Divisions: Number of divisions for the profile curve

  • Profile Smooth: Smoothness of the profile curve

  • Profile Angle: Angle of the profile curve

  • Profile Alignment: Aligns the profile curve to the path curve (Not compatible if Path Width - Width is used)

  • Look at points: Points to look at when using the 'Look At' profile alignment

Geometry Settings

  • Projection Mask: Projects the road onto the input meshes

  • Full Mesh: When on, the full road mesh will be considered, making the road follow closely the underlying mesh

  • UV Scale: Scale the UVs

  • Noise Scale: Controls the scale of the noise

  • Noise Intensity: Controls the intensity of the noise

  • Subdivision: Subdivisions of the mesh

  • Normals Angle: Normals angle of the mesh

  • Invert Normals: Inverts the normals of the mesh

  • Receive decals: If set to true, the road mesh receives decals

Path Width

  • Width: Creates two parallel meshes along the sides of the curves

  • Width - Keep Center: If set to true, the mesh objects at the center will be kept when using the width parameter for parallel curve scattering

  • Width - Sides: Number of parallel meshes to have on each side of the curves

Splits

  • Split Mode: Split the road at the specified distance or number of splits

  • Min Distance: Minimum distance between the splits

  • Max Distance: Maximum distance between the splits

  • Split Seed: Seed for the splits

  • Num Splits: Number of splits to create the road

  • Splits Offset: Offset the splits

  • Splits Threshold: Ignores the splits if the section's length is smaller than the threshold

  • Skip Nth: Skip every Nth split

  • Skip Nth Count: Count of splits to skip

  • Max Splits: Limit the maximum amount of splits per curve
