Creating splines?

[K4andT1lover]

All,
This may be the wrong forum, but can anyone point me to some instructions for creating a spline? I've done buildings, and I've reskinned a spline. But I'd like to make one from scratch, and my experiments have not worked so far. Thanks in advance!

im pretty sure there are tutorials on how to do that on the N3v YouTube page, it depends on what version you are trying to do it in, might be different in other games.

Thanks. I'll have a look; although I don't recall them having videos for asset building.

The often-overlooked Wiki has a whole section devoted to creating splines.

And you can find more info elsewhere in the Wiki by going to the main page and search on the term: spline

Thanks everyone for the leads. I haven't found exactly what I wanted, but there seems to be enough info that I should get there eventually. Much appreciated!

The main thing to know is that every component of a spline must be on the -Y side of the origin in 3D creation space. As with anything else, start out with simple examples to get an idea of how they work. You can learn a lot by inspecting splines others have made, especially in terms of configuration, which I think is the trickiest part.
