The spline is composed of lines, arcs, and bézier curves.</p> <video width=100% controls autoplay muted loop playsinline> <source src="https://ethanmulwee.com/images/Procedual-Tank-Track/Tank.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="https://ethanmulwee.com/images/Procedual-Tank-Track/Tank.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> <p>Beyond the parametric function for determining the position of links in the track. the controller it self uses a pretty standard system of raycast springs to create suspension. Iplan on improving the accuracy of the overall controller in the future.</p>
