Hi,

What's an easy way to make a road with a lot bends?

Thanks a lot

If it doesn't need to go over hills, a sphere sweep would probably work.
You'd need to have a plane (or some other object) make it flat on top,
though.

If you haven't experimented with lathes and sphere-sweeps, etc.  They're a
lot easier to deal with than they might sound.
