Smooth Curves

I want to know how to make smooth curves on my tracks. Please don't tell me the whole "just use the straight line and make one steeper than the other," because that really doesn't work for me for some reason.

 

Why don't you use the curve tool? If you want it extra smooth, try to draw a curve with only gray straight lines. Then, using the black curve tool, make curves that share endpoints with the gray line segments and keep the tangents at the ends of the curves the same slope with adjacent tangents. Delete the gray lines, and you have an exceptionally smooth curve. Sometimes the curve tool isn't so smooth when the third point is too far away from the endpoints.
Sorry if this is confusing.

 

Make it so that the incline of the next is slightly more than the one before it. Not ebough that you can see the angle, but just enough to give it a curve. For shorter curves make the segments shorter, and for larger curves make the segments larger. It's intuitive, there's not really a 'tutorial.'

 

i would totally use the curve tool but it isn't always that reliable.

 

How is the curve tool not always reliable? Do you have examples?

 

Lel DavidRonan look at my tracks there good example of smooth tracks jk but really I could help you out I've pretty much made myself dedicated to smooth tracks so pm me if you'd like.

 

use very small straight lines

 

thanks for all of the replies people

 

well, the curve tool is never really that smooth, and it looks bad in my opinion. the tool also makes the track have a boost that i don't like one bit. straight lines just work a lot better for smooth curves

 

Yeah. I would stay away from the curve tool if you are trying to make a smooth track. It can be slightly bumpy and the rider can react in strange ways to it.
I just use the straight line tool and draw a bunch of little lines. Don't make them too small, though, or the rider will react in strange ways to those as well.
You say that that doesn't work for you, but that's because it takes a TON of practice.

 

What are you saying I'm not joking all my tracks that are good use the smooth tool idk if that's me knowin how to use it r not but I find it easy so the rider never reacts Olay give me a few seconds I'll post a code

 

Todredrob wow. You seem to be able to pull it off. Maybe it's just me, but I've tried using the curve tool and I've never been able to.

 

i am currently working on a track that has pretty smooth curves if you ask me

 

Idk maybe it's skill but I don't know the danger of using curve but I just know how to use it well however your autos shouldn't be made with curve that's true however look at this you make it so the rider no matter what can stay or another words make it stable use the powers ups don't spam them and make it look neat but here's a shorty

Sorry about the half pipe but it's a short track so

 

new track ladies and gentlemen! i tried out some curves! Todredrob Polygon

 

Ehh I have a few suggestions it's not a bd track at al but if your going to do that kind of style I suggest you look at my dirt jumps track collab with Muas and woodmas but I wanted to say when your making a smooth curve track don't make the rider land on a curve it can always lead to a bounce or something not needed irritates the rider ok and as I said before in my track I shows above the code you may use that if you'd like

ik its broke but u can still beat it

 

I use the curve tool for my tracks. If it's a long curve, or a curve that can't be modeled by simply one alteration of a point, I use multiple curves and the magnet tool at the same time-I draw part of the curve at first, curve it, and then continue with the next curve leaving from the previous endpoint.

Part of this track was created in the old free rider, where there was no curve tool-it's still extremely smooth though.
