A Bendy Rail is a special joint connector in LittleBigPlanet 3. They take the form of long, winding paths that extend through the layers, along which characters and objects can travel.
Usage and Behaviour
Bendy Rails are placed similarly to other joints, snapping onto the sides of any solid, thick-layer objects. Unlike other joints, however, they can be placed on their own with nothing supporting them.
When creating a new rail, pressing 
places a new node at the Popit Cursor's location, 
and 
move the current node through the layers — out and in respectively — while pressing 
deletes the most recently placed node. To commit the rail into the scene, either attach the last node to a physical object, or simply press 
to back out. Modifications to existing rails can be made using the Rail Editor tool.
The main intended use of Bendy Rails is to allow characters and objects to travel along complex paths throughout a scene, via the Hook Hat and Hoverboard powerups, as well as the Rail Hook object.
As a physical connector between objects, it behaves similarly to a stiff Rod; objects are effectively glued to each other, and will never contract or extend beyond the physical distance between the rail's two ends, regardless of the rail's actual shape.

Choose Material Choose a material from the Goodies Bag to use as a texture for the rail. If the chosen material has colour, brightness or animation speed tweaks, those will be displayed below. Note: The Camera Excluder, as well as any material that has no visuals aside from particle effects (Wind, Dust, Steam, etc) cannot be selected. |
