I need to know what terminology to use for searching for answers for a feature that I need.
In my game, I want a mesh to follow a path I provide for it in 3D. The meshes will be used for tubes, wires, hallways, roads, etc. It is inefficient and probably pretty ugly to “plop down” a copy of the mesh every so often, so what I want is a way to arbitrarily extended the mesh over long distances according to a path I provide it.
Is there a term for what I’m describing, and can you provide me with any examples where this is done? Thanks.
