Hi,
I'm confused how to implement the following task.
Need to scatter street lights every 20m and put barriers evenly between those lights.
And option 2 - place 20 barriers and after each 20th put 1 street light.
Also can we have some exclude area option (by additional spline or anything else) - so street lights do not appear is some locations only barriers. And flexibility to exclude lights or barriers or both in that spline area.
Hopу that is possible :)
Thx.

You can do that quite easily:

Hi Rokas,
Thanks for quick reply.
Could you please save in max2018 format?
I tried to make same setup.
Not sure how to avoid intersection of box and cylinder.
Clipping spline always affects all objects? Can it affect only cylinders?
-
can we change clipping area behavior?
do not delete objects inside area - but make kind of pause and continue same order scattering after

No, we cant Pause RailClone. Clipping is a step done after RC has calculated all the segments.
Please always attach Your max file it will be easier for both sides.

ok, got it about clipping
here is my scene
how can I avoid those problems - intersections and double objects
-
Use adaptive mode instead of tile.
If You cant use adaptive then with tile mode You can use sequence operation:

Thank you!
Now it works just fine! :)
-
another one small issue
cannot find an option how to force cylinders always look up

Hope this helps. More about deformations in our documentation (https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/getting-started-with-railclone/10-techniques-to-deform-geometry).
Feel free to check out full documentation for more tips and tricks. I believe You will enjoy it.

definitely I pressed that before...
for some reason I cannot get it work on my small piece of terrain
and issue not only with my custom meshes, boxes and cylinders have same problem at some areas
maybe that depends on spline curvature or something else
-
Hi
It is due the pivot of the barrier segment. Set it to the center and then set additional for the Z position or set Y alignment for the Barrier segment node.
And make sure your Surface is large enough/bigger to cover all the Splines/generated elements.
-
Hi,
Cool, now I see what is causing the issue!
The thing is - I cannot move the pivot
otherwise I will loose connection with my original object and all coordinates will be screwed in game engine. (reference mesh should be untouched)
-
Then make alignment on the Segments node (although it is always better to add a Transform node and set alignments on it). It will override the original Pivot. So for the barrier set the Center for Y and Bottom for Z and leave the original pivot on your barrier model.
-
some updates on this one
box and cylinder has original perfectly aligned pivots - and still there is an issue with being 100% vertical
for the custom shapes I moved the spline so it is not going away from terrain - but it is also slightly off
-
This is probably due to combining adaptive vs vertical and stepped deformation in Sequence.
Try to make a NULL segment with X Fixed size that matches the pole to make empty space and use a separate generator do the oposite NULL for barriers.

seems like a bug. Logged to our system. Thanks for reporting.

Thx )

Hi
I created a workaround RC objects.
Please check if that works for you.
-
Cool! That works!
the only thing - I don't understand how to get those additional fields for segment and transform nodes ))

rightclick on the node and export internal parameter or size attribute.
-
Oh..welll...
you should go with https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/getting-started-with-railclone
and check all from:
https://www.itoosoft.com/tutorials?page=1
answer to your question: right mouse click on the node and you will see Export Parameters & Attributes
Parameters are like Inputs and Attributes are like Output Values...
But, please go to trough Documentation and Tutorials. RailClone is a very powerful tool if you know what you are doing ;D

@Rokas STOP ANSWERING WHILE I`M TYPING MINE REPLY!!!

It is like I`m Copy/Paste from you and acting like an idiot!

Agree with dragan. We have put a lot of work into documentation. We hope it is clear to understand and useful.

Thanks guys! this one is solved!!! ;) :D
