How does the path appear in Unity - as a series of points or something?

Hmmm theres a question. Just tried importing a spline. The object appears in the hierarchy but the geometry doesnt show in the scene.

Ah I'm no expert on importing that stuff so I probably can't help - was hoping it was there as a series of transforms :)

Haven't tested this, but will try to animate a dummy object along the spline in 3D max, import those into Unity, then attach my Unity object to the dummy.

I'm pretty sure all the helpers and 2D stuff are just a single transform once imported. You should create points in 3DS and place them at each vertices of the spline (use snap on vertex) the export those points. Then, implement a script to follow a waypoint path in Unity (go from A to B, if close enough from B, A becomes B and B becomes C).
