Well see. Anything is better than the 25 hours it took

So, it exists? Why hasn't anyone recommended this as an option? Does it not work well? I would try, but my computer is a little busy right now

Well that depends on the result you want. If you want to spread separate pieces of shingles by texture - than Forestpack is your friend
If you want to get ~same result as VRayDisplacement but in geometry level - subdivide your geometry into quite huge amount of polys and use 3dsmax displacement
If you want to avoid headache - buy RailClone

Yes, RailClone is on my list. Soon!

Where can I find the RCquickApply script for download?
I can see the thread on the Railclone forum but no download link for the script

Hi!

Downloading attachments on our forums is normally available only to pro users, but in this case we're happy to upload this script here too in case you want to test it out with RailClone lite.

A few words about how to use the script. It works by automatically extracting a closed spline from each polygon. It then duplicates the selected RC object, orientates it so that it is aligned with the polygon's surface normal and finally assigns the extracted spline to the RailClone object's Clipping path.

To use it:

• The surface must be an Editable Poly object with no modifiers applied.
• The RailClone objects should have a clipping spline applied with the Generator set to Get X/Y Size from Area. The Clipping spline needs to be the first entry in the Base Objects rollout. If necessary you can use the arrows change the order.
  
• Run the Script and use the Pick RC Object button to select the RailClone object you'd like to clone.
• Select the polygons on the surface and click apply RC to Faces. The script will create a new clipping spline and RailClone object for each individual polygon
• Alternatively hold Shift and click RC to Faces and the script creates a single spline and RC object that combines the selected faces. This works best when all the faces selected are planar.

And finally, a quick disclaimer: I hope it'll be helpful but this script isn't supported officially by iToo, so please use at your own risk.

Many thanks!

Paul

Thanks Morne, I wasn't logged in with my Pro forum account. I have the script now
