Hi, How are you guys doing. I've been working with max for about a year on and off, just am not as familiar as I should be. I had a question about thow to make a tire. Now one of my teachers showed a method in school a while back, but I forgot it and I can't meet the teacher for a while.

Is there a way to make a object follow a spline? I made the tracks and want it to follow a arc of a circle as to make it bend in that shape. Heres what I'm trying to do. Sorry for such a noobish question >.<"

for starters (and since we are talking about a perfect circle) you could use the bend modifier on your track piece.But i think that it might come up kinda short for a full wheel.

You could also use the path deform modifer (located in the world space modifiers group)
