View Full Version : curve flow twist
baran 04-29-2006, 08:33 AM Hi,
I am facing an issue. I draw a curve and I made a curveflow of particles.
At some point the instancer is twisting. I don't know why.... I tried some options... but nothing happens.
I attached an image where the twist is happenning.
Help me to fix this issue.
looking forward ...
with best regards,
-Baran.

The curve normal flips when its direction crosses the y axis. Creating the curve lying down and rotating it up afterwards doesnt help either. What I use to do with curves that are driving a motion or flow object is, before you create the curve, create a Nurbs plane and model it as a ground shape for the curve to lie on. Make the Nurbs-mesh Live and create the curve on it. Now the curve will draw its normals from the Nurbs mesh and it won't flip. Just shape the Nurbs-mesh when you want to alter the curve's shape.
