Information
In this tutorial you will see how to get a caterpillar type track from Blender and over to i3d with motionPath_secondUV_colorMask shader variation.
The motionPath_secondUV_colorMask requires a second UV layer which will be used for the specular/vmask texture and the first UV layer will be for UDIM and normal map.
Lets begin
After creating multiple track setups manually I found out pretty fast that needed something that would speed up the process a whole lot. Doing it manually took so much time that it wasn't enjoyable anymore. So I decided to make a Blender Addon that will help with this process. I3D Exporter Additionals started as a tiny addon with some simple tools to create a caterpillar track with, but it nows let you automatically do most of the time consuming parts.
