Parametric Modelling for 3DS Max

RailClone is a 3DS Max plugin for parametric modeling based on custom geometry parts, definable by the user, and a set of construction rules. This new concept of lets you to build complex and realistic structures for Architectural Visualization, Civil Engineering, Industrial and Interior Design.

Features

Splines
RailClone 7 introduces spline nodes to add many new possibilities for procedural modeling in 3ds Max.
A brand-new category of nodes called Spline Operators has been added with 19 new options divided across 7 nodes, offering a new level of control over paths in RailClone directly from the graph editor.

Point-Cloud Mode
RailClone 7 introduces a new Point-Cloud mode, optimized for recent 3ds Max versions and modern GPUs (Max 2017 and above).
Previously, point-cloud density varied with camera distance, slowing performance. Now, density is fixed, creating faster viewports by caching points and only updating on object changes.

Versatile
With RailClone you may create all kinds of parametric objects. Fences, railings, walls, bridges, stairs, floors is only a small set of what can be done.
The software includes a full library of predefined styles, but it is not limited to a fixed set of primitives, you can use any geometry from the scene and define your own parametric models.

Easy to Use
RailClone includes a graphical Style Editor, where you can create sophisticated structures, defining the pieces, generators, and construction rules.
Randomize elements, add conditionals, define parameters and much more with only a few clicks.

Adaptative geometry
The software applies automatically all necessary transformations to create a consistent object.
This includes bending on curves, length slicing, bevels and other transformations. You just need to define the construction rules, RailClone adapts the involved segments automatically.

Solving heights
To accomplish special requirements when sloped surfaces are involved in Architectural Design and Civil Engineering, RailClone uses advanced algorithms.
Sloped walls, handrail stairs, and stepped fences are not a problem anymore in 3DS Max.

Styles Library
RailClone comes with a Library of more than 350 predefined styles, including Fences, Railings, Barriers, Traffic, Walls, and other models.
The library is fully customizable, allowing you to add new categories and models with a single click and share them with your colleages.
