Hello,

I thought about making a 3D-marble track.

With a 3D track as in

this product.

Question 1

How to make a rolling marble? If it's like a waterball and rolling, it needs a texture.

Question 2

Can I use a physics engine to take care for gravity and curves the marble follows?

How does the marble detect a curve or hole ahead? Would it be via what track is displayed on screen or

rather by an internal data representation that contains the 3D-track and the marble-coordinates?

 

Greetings,

thanks,

Chris
