Errant Paths is a versatile plugin designed for creating a wide range of spline-based networks, including roads, railways, tunnels, bridges, rivers, streams, fences, pipelines, power lines, roller coasters, and more.

Main aspects of the plugin:

  • Versatility - serves as a unified tool for all kinds of spline-based networks.
  • Efficiency - allows for automated generation of various elements such as roads, barriers, decals, road signs, lane markings, and other geometry.
  • Programmability - can spawn objects based on user-defined logic.
  • Adaptability - facilitates adapting to art/design changes without significant rework.
  • Artistic control - despite its automation, it offers a high level of control similar to manual object placement.
  • Interaction with other systems - can adjust landscapes, paint weightmaps, place or remove biomes, and spawn splines for AI.
  • Performance - aims to generate paths optimized for efficient rendering and streaming.
    The plugin also warns about assets/settings negatively affecting performance.
