Help Bending rollercoaster track

(1/3) > >>

falloffalot:
I have created a rollercoaster with track which; if works out I will anim8 with sounds.
The problem I have I can't work out or find in the manual how to bend the straight track section.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

Here is the link to the manual for bending an object using modifier.....

You might have a look in the Hand tutorial as well (Bending fingres section)

falloffalot:

I have now managed to bend a single track piece using the mod tool,
but I have created a multi sectional track section to give the desired effect.
I have grouped all the individual sections together and then tried to bend it using the modifier.
But the track keeps disapearing.
Any ideas why?

Thanx for the help

beyond_3rd_dimension:
I am getting the same problem. Think it's a bug. u cannot use mod tool on grouped object.

Anyway, the solutiong is to use 'Build->Join Solids' instead of Group.

Hope it will solve ur problem.

I would suggest to ungroup all your sections and bend each one individually, then put them all together again.
