For this Coaster Challenge going on in the Visual effects part of the fourm, I need to make a track with some ties on it. What I have done is loft my spine and rails, and then model a tie seperatly, and then use the Spacing Tool to space it out along the original spline. Problem is, it will follow the curve of the spline, but I need it to follow the banking as well. Out of dumb-luck I was able to get it to "somewhat" follow the original deformation, but to make it match I had to tweak the original deformation quite a bit.
I have heard about there being some plug-in's that would help with what I need to do. Attached is a picture of the current problem. What I need done is have the ties match the banking in the deformation exactly. So I don't need to rotate the ties individually. Any help or suggestions is appriciated. I have been racking my brain and been overusing F1 the past few days :)
