Spline Tools

Post by Mistahtokyo »

Posting this here in case I forget in the future since this would certainly be a long term hope. It would be nice to be able to use spline tools like a road spline. It would dramatically improve the workflow of anyone using meshes for curved roads (similar to how Skyrim and Fallout do it). Is it even possible to add at some point in the future or would there be some fundamental issue with how OpenMW works that would prevent it? Here is a video showing what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WIWuybAKj4

I freaking love splines. This sort of thing I've wanted a long time for roads too. I believe this requires handling in engine and not just editor, but it would be so worth it.

Groups like TR and pretty much anyone working a lot with exteriors would seriously benefit from them.

The key to building massive open worlds in a timely fashion is to develop tools that can get you 90% of the way there; the artist/designer handles the last 10%. I think OpenMW will enable this sort of workflow more and more in the future.
