New features in Itoo Software’s parametric modeling plugin include:
- Added UVW XForm operator. (*)
- Added Export Attributes. This feature allows to export
numeric values from nodes (for ex.: size of a Segment). - Segment->Mapping accepts multiple map channels. (*)
- Segment->Mapping, Material and UVW XForm (*)
operators can be used with all render engines and RailClone Tools when
Display->Use Instancing Engine is off. - Added Generator->Limits->Padding (Start/End
for Linear, Left/Right/Top/Bottom for Arrays). - Added two modes for Generator->Rules->Evenly:
Distance and Count. Distance works as before, and Count creates a fixed
number of elements. - Improved conform to Surface for very large splines. Added
parameter to define interpolation’s step. - Conditional->Vertex can be used with Default slot.
It checks the latest vertex before the Default segment. - Added Generator->Cap Holes. It works like the Cap
Holes Max modifier but keeping instancing capability. - RailClone Tools->Instantiate copies User Properties,
Object ID and wireframe color of the source object (when exists). - Added Segments selector to Quad menu.
(*) Segments using these features can be instanced only in
V-Ray.
Style Editor:
- Improved detection of hotspot for node wiring.
- Style Editor can be placed at left side on multi-monitor
configurations. - Clipboard file (rcclip.dat) is stored in a temporary folder.
- Auto rename of Parameters and Base Objects on wiring.
- Added result of Arithmetic->Expression on edit
dialog. - Wires can be dragged directly over a node, connecting them
to a default slot depending of the wire’s type. - Dragging between nodes outputs swaps their links.
- All nodes include an On/Off exportable parameter. This
parameter is independent of the clickable On/Off state. - Multiple wiring support, selecting several nodes of the
same type and dragging. - Added Segment->Right Menu->Clone Multiple.
Clones a Segment multiple times, using objects from the scene as source. - All boolean parameter are available for exporting.
- Randomize->Presence and Sequence->Counter
parameters are available for exporting.
Plus bug fixes. More on Itoo Software’s website.
