I was looking for a file of a similar project I had done previously to send you, but it seems you’ve done a fantastic job as clearly shown in the screenshot of the Object Manager panel. Congratulations! Regarding the overturning of the carriages, as I stated before, you should copy the track and move it vertically above the current track then make it as rail path for the carriages. I don’t know if you’ve tried this, using the same track path as rail path, or even deplicate it but leaving it in place, causes the overturning issue. I’ve struggled with this before. As for the carriages being connected, they don’t appear to be unconnected to the locomotive. Perhaps setting the locomotive alone as camera target is what made you think that. You could make the entire train as target, or choose a middle carriage to confirm. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Felipe,
Regarding the cart fliping issue, I believe it can be resolved by enabling the Tangential option in Align to Spline, then copying track and move it vertically above the cars, then dragging and dropping it into the Rail path (I will include a screen recording of this). As for the second issue, I think it requires the file checking (even a simplified version) along with a screen recording demonstrating the problem. hope this will be helpful.

You’re very welcome, Stevens! Did that work for you, or rather, is that what you were looking for?

Hi Stevens,
If I understand the issues correctly, I think you could accomplish this using a parallel-projection camera with the “Align Workplane to Selection” tool. I’ve attempted to explain the method in the screen recording attached below; I hope this is helpful.

Hi Jessica,
You could adjust the camera’s focus by entring the desired values ​​in the output. As for the light, you could do it by excluding the ground in the lighting settings. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Sonny,
I think what you want is a straight-line vapor trail, not the kind of smoke you get. Below, I’ve included a video link demonstrating how to control the smoke movement using a Pyro Emitter tag. You could achieve the same effect by changing some settings, or perhaps it would be easier for you to use an Emitter with a suitable material. I think this option is better, and I’ve included a screen recording below showing how it works. I hope this is helpful.

Thanks, Henrique, for your response! it was helpful. However, the destinate Spline only sumulates the source one in the soft interpolation tangent, not in the hard, this problem doesn’t exist with the bake as Alembic as you could see in the screen recording, so I believe it remains better than point cache tag with Spline. Thanks again; this discussion has clarified several subtle points regarding this trick. I think users who will follow this will find everythings clear and easy to understand.

I’m glad that worked well for you. You can use this in various models; however, I’ll get back to your model as soon as I have the chance.

Hi Simon,
I’ll come back later to investigate the cause, but I have an effective solution for this, and I use it successfully, especially when there’s no time to check the typology. you could convert the edges to Spline and then activate Spline in the tag as in the screen recording below. I hope this is helpful.

Thank you again for this addition! I just hope you could make a screen recording to show how it works. I tried to simulate it, but it didn’t work for me and that’s weird.
