Kerbs / Pavements / Roads

[Paul Doh]

Hi;
This is something I always struggle to model and texture well in my scenes and I thought I would ask how some of you guys create this part of a scene. I usually use sweeps for my kerbs and then extrudes for my paths and a combination of sweeps, lofts and extrudes for my roads.

A kerb generator for c4d would be great. I have tried using spline spread for this but i cant get it working right when then kerbs have to go around a corner etc.

Any advice would be great.
Thanks

Hi Paul

We usually do the same - generate splines from edges of pavements, then sweep a kerb shape along it to generate the kerb itself. This sweep is naturally UV mapped. It's sometimes a fiddly process, but effective non the less. (works good for double yellow lines too)

Here's a quick snippet from one of our own libraries - (sorry, not at liberty to share the mesh/texture files )

Thanks Srat
The tarmac looks nice... is it ambient lights road package?

[Stephen Leworthy]

nope. no commercial stuff in there.

Strat I am currently modelling a site plan and need help with the Kerbs. How do you get the joints with your kerbing? Is it modelled or textured?
Thanks in advance

It's just uv mapped
