Hi there,

I wonder how to program an endless road for a car drive, as you can see it in several games online. Does anybody know?

Circle or move UV?

No, just like on the demo

Or showcase

There are many ways. You can indeed move uvs, to simulate the direction and speed of the car. Means that probably anything else added, will have to be animated with the car.

You can, in cases of ribbons (similar idea as Twizzy site), simply move the vertices once behind camera to the “new” extremity. You do this by changing their values. If you use a class like PathExtrude, you can do quite a few segments before you would need move the first to last position.(preventing to have frequent uploads)

You have 9 grid systems that are popular too.

and you also have “elevation” like principal where the vertices are offsetted based on image. this image is being scrolled with direction/speed of the car. This one is ideal for endless mountainious terrains

There are probably more…and you can of course mix these.

The listed ways of getting there sound interesting.

So, when having a car on a plane, does it mean, when moving the car, the uv of the plane texture has to be moved accordingly to the movement of the car?
I guess that the plane should be large enough to fill the horizont, isn’t it?

Many thanks for the info Fabrice!
