How do I make roads curve? - Developers

Like in HL2, when you're on one of those driving missions, the textures of the road turn with the geometry of the road. For example, this mission. [media]http://www.sourcedimensions.com/uploads/images/Gallery/No_Escape/m030037.jpg[/media] The road texture doesn't stay straight at the turn, it turns with the geometry. How is this done?

Real men don't map.

Real men use UDK. :smug:

He spent 5 minutes explaining how displacements can be used on roads to raise up in the middle. :downs: His techniques are very bland. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3779442/Screenshots/road.png[/img] What kind of road is this?

Thanks, Facepunch :unsmith:
