RailClone 4 - Subscription

RailClone 4 is the world's most powerful artist-friendly parametric modelling plugin for 3ds Max. Its unique array-based approach to asset creation is fast, efficient, and easy-to-learn. RailClone 4 is unlike other parametric tool. Create objects by distributing and manipulating geometry created using standard modelling techniques - if you can model in 3ds Max, you can create procedural objects with RailClone 4.

Use the convenient node-based editor to create rules that combine, sequence, transform, deform, slice, bevel, and distribute instanced geometry or proxies. Create variation by randomising objects, UV mapping, and material IDs. Render huge objects made from thousands of highly detailed parts using native geometry shaders.

With RailClone 4, creating sophisticated models has never been simpler.

What's New

Use Object Materials

Use the materials applied directly to the source geometry. No more manually creating complex multi-sub object materials, great when using RailClone as a layout tool or with stock models.

Spline Modifier

Precisely place geometry on paths by adding markers with the new Spline Modifier. Each marker can contain rich information that can be used to control nearly any parameters of a graph.

Nested Generators

Dramatically simplify graphs by nesting one generator as a segment inside another, while opening up exciting new possibilities for what's possible with RailClone!

Automatic Capping

Automatically cap clipped objects to make it easier than ever to create a seamless object. Capped faces are UVed using real world mapping coordinates so you can easily apply materials to the new geometry.

New Group Mode

Ever wished the compose operator behaves more like 3ds Max's Groups? Well now it does. The Compose operator's output is now calculated as a single object with a bounding box that encompasses its entire size.

Viewport Instancing

RailClone already has unparalleled instancing power at render time, but it's now possible to enable viewport instancing to preview hundreds of millions of polygons directly in the 3ds Max viewport.

Faster and more optimized

RailClone 4 introduces huge improvements in instancing efficiency when using shared segments or linked styles by including a global cache for all RC objects in the scene.

Improved stability in IPR renders

Using RailClone while in IPR rendering mode gets a significant stability improvement making it easier than ever to visualize how your styles will look in the final image.

Updated Selector Operator and new expressions

To take full advantage of the RailClone Spline features, the Selector operator has several new modes. Expressions have been updated to support markers too, along with the ability to access data from nested generators!

More Logical Transform nodes

In previous version of RailClone the order of transform nodes had no effect, in RailClone 4 we've made this much more intuitive so that the order of Transform nodes is now taken into consideration when applying a rotation, translation, or scale operation.

Statistics Window

Look under the hood of your RailClone style with the new Statistics Windows to help make change to optimize performance or debug complex objects.

Improved usability

The style editor gains several usability improvements including the ability to insert a node on a wire, automatic rewiring on deletion, grid view and snap, the ability to select and delete unused nodes and much more.
