[Request] Creating a river or path with the Spline Tool

Community Community & Industry Discussion

Hello everyone,

Earlier today I was trying to create a river using the spline tool, but I was quite confused on how to go about doing just that.
I think I read somewhere that I would need a static mesh inserted through the “Details” tab when I have the spline’s selected.

Is there a complete tutorial on how to do something like a river or a road with the spline tool? How do I create a static mesh?

Thanks in advance,

Yaz

Hi Yaz,

If you want to learn more about the spline tools you can check out some of the documentation here: Landscape Splines in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation

Also if you download the Content Examples project from the Marketplace, the Landscape map has an example of the spline tool used to make a road.

Hope that helps!

Can you use the spline tool without a landscape? And can it be procedurally generated?
