MeshCurve

MeshCurve generates a baked mesh (and optional collider) along a path defined by PathPoint components. It is ideal for fences, walls, pipes, and road-like meshes that must follow a curve.

Create a MeshCurve (Editor shortcuts)

There are two fast ways to create a MeshCurve in the editor:

1. Topbar -> Create Object -> MeshCurve
   Creates a MeshCurve with the standard Mesh and Points children.

2. Files panel -> Object file -> Create curve of
   Right-click (or open the menu on) an object file and choose Create curve of.
   This builds a MeshCurve and automatically places the selected object under the Mesh child.

Typical Setup

1. Create a GameObject and add MeshCurve.
2. Add a child named Mesh and place your source mesh(es) under it.
3. Add a child named Points and create PathPoint objects under it.
4. (Optional) Add StickToTerrain to the points to keep them on the terrain.

MeshCurve reads the Mesh child as the source and the Points child as the path.

Editor Workflow

1. Add at least two PathPoint objects under Points.
2. Move points to shape the curve.
3. Adjust Spacing, Spacing Padding, Forward Axis, and Up Mode on the MeshCurve.
4. Toggle Fit Curve if you want the mesh scaled along the path to close the remaining gap.
5. Toggle Stick To Terrain if points should snap to terrain.

tip

If Bake Mode is set to Static, the MeshCurve will remove its children after the bake when the game is running. This leaves only the baked mesh and collider for best performance.

Tips

• Ensure your mesh pivot is centered and aligned with the chosen Forward Axis.
• Use Spacing Padding for additional gaps between instances.
• If you want no deformation beyond the path limits, keep the mesh fully inside the path length.
