Array 2S - Unique Spline Outlines
« on: February 19, 2018, 05:37:53 AM »
Please see the attached image.  Are there any solutions for Array 2S Curtain wall systems which allow for sloped sides, or pitched tops if needed. Or is the limitation square/rectangle shapes?

Hi,

In such scenario, adding a Linear 1S Generator to your style to handle borders "separately" would be the recommendable way.

Generally, clipping is an issue. We've been asked about it before and we did actually implement a solution in a previous release but unfortunately, it had to be removed because it could not be correctly UV mapped. Unfortunately, this was a limitation of the Max SDK. In some cases, you might find handy the VRayDistanceTex map to perform a render-time boolean and a capping effect in a very similar way as explained in this post.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
