Santa must have come early because today we’re thrilled to unwrap the latest and greatest version of RailClone, our innovative parametric modelling plugin for 3ds Max.
Major improvements in Version 5 include new
banking controls that allow you to twist and corkscrew the geometry around the spline; the ability to
distribute lights, VDBs and other non-geometric objects; and a
brand new caching system that allows you to bake a RailClone object to the scene or an external file.
There are also significant improvements to
markers, the ability to
lock evenly divisions to odd or even values,
drop-down parameter lists, improvements to clipping splines, new options for
limiting by materials IDs, plus lots more.
Version 5 is now more optimised, more versatile, and more essential than ever before. To see the full list of what’s new, check out the
announcement on our blog.
