What is the best way to create streets and highways ?

[psygnosys]

Hello people , I've been trying some ways to create streets, roads and avenues ... tried using maps in terrain creation, but it is very complicated to manage the texture , to maintain a direction straight , does anyone know any tips ? Thank you!

You need to create geometry yourself, maybe with curves in Blender if you want curved roads.

I had seen this tool to edit roads, will create the roads in geometry even ... thanks

The feature wasn't official nor shared with the community if I remember correct. And it didn't work with 2.5 either.

I guess the normal in engine brushes will do just fine also because it won't be a pain for the graphics card so it can load more advanced geometric

huh? It wasn't shared or official? No, you are not remembering correctly. It was one of the big features of LE2.3 (see deserthighway.sbx) and was a part of the Editor all the way to the final version 2.51. And it worked just fine once you figured out setting the rotations on the road nodes to determine how you wanted your curve to look, The biggest drawback was just how long it took to load the saved serialized data to create the road.

Just never used it. That's probably why I didn't remember my bad..

But for LE3 I just think brushes will work best ?
