Made for Cycles
"The Roads Must Roll" currently works with Cycles only, as not all materials seem to work with EEVEE.
Current Limitations
Converting the road to a mesh or exporting to another software package
While it’s possible to convert the road into a mesh and then export it to other software, there are currently some limitations.
For more details, please see the FAQ on our website
All materials with road markings won't properly convert to a mesh. And most materials are unlikely to successfully convert to another software package.
Using 'Material Preview' mode in the viewport
Since 'Material Preview' relies on the EEVEE render engine, it’s not supported at this time.
Traffic Simulation
You can easily animate cars on each road object individually, with adjustable parameters like the density of cars, their random seed, spacing, and speed. Each road object is based on a single curve.
However, this is not a full traffic simulation, as vehicles do not interact with traffic lights, intersections, or each other. If you want to animate cars driving through an intersection, you will need to do this manually.
Currently, the wheels of the cars do not rotate when the cars are in motion.
Custom Lane Width
The lanes are currently a fixed width of 3.5 meters (11.48 feet). I'm planning to make this adjustable in the future.
