Train Track Tip

Anonymous · ‎2020-09-24

Hi folks,
Do you need to model train tracks for your project?
Well... I just found a very good tip from Patrick May in his Youtube channel.
Thanks Patrick!

I thought it would be really nice to add it here on the Tips Section.
Cheers,

Using the railing tool for everything based on a polyline. In terms of railways, I do not think you would be able to bank a corner...

If you reduce the radius / increase the speed of the vehicle, there is a point in which you will need to slope the track / road inward to counter centripetal force.

Thanks Ling.
Ok. This makes sense.
To achieve this kind of detail, the railing tool would need to have individual node rotation. Which maybe is ask too much for an already versatile tool.

But IMO, and for a preliminary/Architectural/Design visualization, this technic is pretty acceptable.
