Forest Pro (*) / Re: Corona Distance for density?
« Last post by iToo on July 08, 2025, 01:11:26 pm »Not sure if this was suggested before, but it would be great if Forest pack could use gradients and not just black/white for distribution and density.
Added for next updates. Thanks for your suggestion !

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: combining sequence and random segments
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 08, 2025, 11:49:29 am »The previously mentioned style setup should work for these inputs as well - just make sure that the Transform Operator with Z Fixed Rotation is correctly wired between them. You can easily copy the operator by dragging it while holding the Shift key. If you run into any issues, feel free to send us your scene and we’ll be happy to take a look.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: combining sequence and random segments
« Last post by tzaar on July 08, 2025, 11:36:50 am »Yes, it work. Thank you! But when I use start or default I cannot cancel out the local rotation like you helped me with in my previous post. They just seem to follow the spline in default mode, but in evenly they do. Any new work around to get all the segments (products) facing the same direction? Or how to get the sequence + random working with evenly?
It's not the end of the work if it doesn't I just have to make up a really long sequence my self then.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: combining sequence and random segments
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 07, 2025, 12:27:25 pm »Hi,
Yes, absolutely - there are several ways to achieve the desired setup. Probably the simplest approach is to use a Compose Operator in Sequence mode connected to the Start input of the generator, and a Randomize Operator wired to the Default input. I hope that helps.

RailClone Pro (*) / combining sequence and random segments
« Last post by tzaar on July 07, 2025, 12:01:54 pm »Hi!
Is it possible to start with a specific sequence of segments on a spline, and then have the rest of it be random segments? For as long as the spline goes on?
I'm using evenly to distribute my segments on a linear generator.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Corners ignored with bevel mode none but distorted geometry with all other modes
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 07, 2025, 08:47:22 am »Hi,
In order to align with these vertices when Corner > Bevel Mode is set to None, you can add an empty Segment to the Corner input of the Generator. Increasing the Style > Curve Steps value can help improve interpolation quality. Please find attached a revised version of your scene. I hope this helps.

Found it.
I thought it was section to choose what parts of FP to install.
Thank you

RailClone Pro (*) / Corners ignored with bevel mode none but distorted geometry with all other modes
« Last post by MW0462 on July 05, 2025, 07:33:12 pm »I have a curved panel I'm extruding along a path using RailClone. The seams between the panels are getting stretched along curves in the path. If I set bevel mode to "none" the seams are correct but corners are ignored so the spacing is all wrong. If I set the bevel mode to anything else, the seams stretch but the locations are correct. How do I get the seams to not stretch on curves but also respect corners? Pictures and max file attached.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: How do you make a roof like the one in your latest presentation.
« Last post by BLG on July 05, 2025, 01:45:43 am »Please do a tutorial on how to create this specific building, or please share the building itself or have it available for purchase. I've been trying for years to create something like this and have never been fully successful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
