Tire Skid Marks Question

[antonio_p3m]

Hello Dr. Sassi,

I hope that you are doing fine.

I have small issue, I'm trying to create tire skid marks system using the "tracer+sweep" approach.
However, I'm not able to keep texture pattern fixed, it constantly keeps stretching as the spline grows, and it ruins my tire pattern.

If you manage to find a time, I would glad if you could land me some advice - what's the best way to approach this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for the file and for using Wetransfer.

Here is a simplified example:
https://projectfiles.maxon.net/Cineversity_Forum_Support/2024_PROJECTS_DRS/20241211_CV4_2025_drs_24_TXan_01.zip

In your project, set the Play mode from cycle to simple, then let it run from start to finish to get the full Tracer result.

Click on tracer and use the "Object Manager> Object> Current State To Object" function.
This gives you all four Splines.
I would use the "Main Menu> Spline> Segments> Explode" the spline to get all four.
Then set the Sweep as in the example, where it just grows.

Please let me know if you run into any problems.

Cheers
