Duplicurver – new spline clone and deform Maxscript tool
Mohsen GH has released a Maxscript tool named Duplicurver, designed to bring the functionality of ZBrush’s Insert Multi Mesh Curve brush to Autodesk 3ds Max.
The tool’s features include “Intelligent Cloning,” which allows users to select a mesh from the scene and determine the number of clones, as well as adjust the offset between them. Seamless Welding is another feature that offers an option to automatically weld the edges of the clones, potentially saving production time.
Dynamic Thickness Control enables users to control the thickness of the clones along a path, and Flexible Rotation and Twist allows for custom rotation and twist along the chosen path. Orientation Customization provides control over the orientation of the clones along the X, Y, and Z axes, and Interactive Real-Time Editing offers parameters that can be adjusted in real-time.
The tool is available for purchase in three pricing tiers: Personal at $3.90, Commercial for up to 5 users at $14.90, and Studio for more than 5 users at $39. Find out more on Gumroad.
What’s wrong with the Array modifier?
It can do everything this script does and more….
So what? Like several other small scripts, it functions as an automation and management tool for existing modifiers. Any time-saving tool is valuable for users who have many other tasks to address in a limited timeframe. If someone needs it, perhaps $3.90 won’t leave them starving…..
Yeah.. its about convenience not features. I dropped way more than $3-90 for the sakes of convenience at Mc Donald’s on a road trip last week ((and regretted it half an hour later), so by that score this is good value if it delivers.
