Hi, I'm trying to bend and twist a replicator. I'm trying to make an animation of a camera following a road.
I have a small piece of road, which I replicate 1000 times in the X direction and 1 times in the Y and Z direction.
However when I add a bend and twist modifier, the replicator is no longer shown or rendered.

Anybody know how to work around this? Or is there a smarter method to do this?

I tried to convert the replicator to real instances, but that really slows down Carrara.

Thanks

It's one of those situations where it is great to also have the, original, Inagoni "Replicator" plugin

http://www.inagoni.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.5

If you get it, you will find it under the EDIT dropdown.
