Following Path and Terrain

Follow Path

When selecting a character or a prop to pick a path, you may decide the character's or prop's facing direction when moving along the path.

  1. In the Prop's Modify Panel enable Follow Path to have it follow an axis.

  2. Select one of the facing directions from the drop-down list.

  3. Now the prop orients itself by examining the X, Y, Z directions while following the path.

    4. X Axis

    Y Axis

    Z Axis

    - X Axis

    - Y Axis

    - Z Axis

Follow Terrain

After you have projected to terrain, you can switch to the prop's modify panel and enable Follow Terrain to make the prop follow the orientation and transition of the terrain.

Follow Terrain: Disabled

Follow Terrain: Enabled

Note:

  • Since you cannot set keys to follow a path, you cannot have two different follow path directions set for a single prop.

  • When you have both Follow Path and Follow Terrain enabled, Follow Terrain would be the layer that the prop will be following.
