Editor Oval shaped gradients

Post by jgmtbike »

Hey JLV,

Implementing some sort of 3 point gradient would be really helpful when creating ruts. Then track makers could create ruts with hooks and decreasing or increasing radius. Something like the below:

If there was just one more point to adjust the "vertex" it would be so helpful and allow track makers to make some very interesting and unique shaped ruts. Right now all we can create is perfectly circular ruts as you. So the radius is essentially the same all the way through the turn.

Obviously the radius is not the same all the way through a turn IRL.

Thanks, let me know what you think! :D :D

I definitely want something more general purpose than an oval. Probably something like a mesh with a subdivision modifier in blender. It has to be able to do things like funky hip jumps in SX without having to use multiple gradients in different paint modes.
