Tyres to the Tarmac Part 2 Terrain
Crafting a vibrant 3D scene, centered around an ice cream van navigating through a meticulously designed landscape. The tutorial begins with the assembly of fundamental elements such as the ice cream van itself, a ground plane, control points for navigation, the roadway, and a foundational van base. Key steps illustrated include the strategic organization and grouping of the van's components for simplified manipulation, and the innovative use of spline control to direct the van's movement along a predetermined path.
This technique is complemented by the application of bones to the road, allowing it to seamlessly conform to the varying elevations of the terrain. The instructor also delves into how to finesse the ground and road's displacement to ensure the van base not only follows the spline accurately but also adapts its form according to the terrain's contours.
