  • RailClone Lite/Pro 2.0.3 released

    I'm pleased to announce a major update of RailClone, our parametric modelling plugin for 3DS Max. In this update, the plugin has been rewritten from scratch, introducing significate improvements over version 1.x.



    RailClone 2 Key Features List

    - Easy-to-use style editor using a familiar node-based UI.
    - Create, Save, and share custom styles using the fully customizable library browser.
    - Use predefined styles from an expanding library of over 280 predefined objects including Fences, Railings, Barriers, Traffic, Walls and much more.
    - Create 1D or 2D arrays, target each part of the array with different Segments or create sequences and conditional rule sets.
    - Using the new Points-Cloud display, even objects made from thousands of segments can be easily previewed in the viewports, making modification simple and maintaining effortless interactivity.
    - Use V-Ray and Mental Ray’s native geometry shaders to automatically create instances on-the-fly. Create huge parametric objects, made from thousands of detailed parts, quickly and easily.
    - Advanced algorithms deform geometry to follow curvilinear paths or create double-curved 2D arrays. With RailClone2 sloped walls, handrail stairs, domes, and stepped fences are no longer a problem in 3DS Max.
    - Manipulate segments using operators. Easily mirror, combine, sequence, randomize material IDs or geometry, and create conditional rule sets all from within the style editor.
    - Link properties to numerical parameter nodes to control multiple objects from a single input. Use arithmetic operations to build mathematical relationships between properties.
    - Use closed splines to crop object geometry.
    - Compatible with RailClone 1.x styles.

    RailClone Lite version is freely available to download in our website.

          Probably we will add it for a next update. For this release we have been really busy with the code, so there was little time to improve the library.

            That would be fantastic. Looking forward to it. I wonder if it would also be possible to have an area where users can upload their own presets ?

              This is a great idea.

                It's a good idea, but i see several problems: we should check each file, checking there are not copyrighted files, broken styles and so. Also, since RaiClone uses a Max scene to store the preset, we would get a mess of files with different Max versions. We create our presets using Max 9 (which sometimes it's a pain... i must add), so they are compatible will all Max versions.
