Lift Hill

Create a simple chain lift hill with curved sections and a straight geometric section.

Lift Hill Node Setup Complete lift hill setup with bottom curve, straight lift section, and top curve

Creating a Lift Hill

Bottom Curve Transition

Create the entry transition that curves upward into the lift.

  1. Add Curved Section - Right-click → Curved Section
  2. Set Upward Direction - Change Axis to 90 (curves up instead of right)
  3. Set Incline Angle - Lower Arc to 30 for a 30-degree incline
  4. Add Velocity Control - Timeline → Add Property → Fixed Velocity
  5. Set Lift Speed - Add keyframe with desired velocity (e.g. 3 m/s)

Straight Lift Section

Build the main inclined section with consistent speed and pitch.

  1. Connect Geometric Section - Drag from curved section output to new Geometric Section
  2. Maintain Speed - Add Fixed Velocity property (inherits previous 3 m/s value)
  3. Extend Duration - Increase section length to desired lift hill height

Top Curve Transition

Complete the lift with a downward transition curve.

  1. Connect Curved Section - Drag from geometric section output to new Curved Section
  2. Set Downward Direction - Change Axis to -90 (curves down)
  3. Match Angle - Set Arc to 30 degrees
  4. Continue Speed Control - Add Fixed Velocity property

Usage Tips

  1. If the geometric section isn’t straight, ensure Roll Speed, Pitch Speed, and Yaw Speed are 0 rad/s, adding keyframes if necessary.
  2. If the track isn’t being generated, make sure each section has a Fixed Velocity property.
