The generator handles the logic; you handle the art. By combining dynamic spline-based generation with PBR materials that simulate wear and tear, your roads will transition from "generic 3D models" to "drivable, believable infrastructure."

Road markings—dashed center lines, solid edges, directional arrows, zebra crossings, and parking bay lines—are the unsung heroes of infrastructure visualization. However, manually modeling these along curved splines can be a logistical nightmare. Enter the .
In the world of 3D visualization, the devil is in the details. When creating highway visualizations, urban planning simulations, or racing game environments, nothing breaks immersion faster than a perfectly modeled car driving down a perfectly flat, generic grey ribbon. The secret to realism lies in the paint.
