Itoo Software has released a significant update to its parametric modeling plugin for 3DS Max. This version focuses on improving
ease-of-use as well as providing additional tools. New features include:
- Ability to import and wire multiple segments
- Categorized and expanded exportable parameters
- Drag-to-swap links
- Auto-renaming of parameters and base objects
- Ability to automatically calculate and export the current size of
segments - UVW Xform Operator to edit and randomize UVW coordinates
- Count mode to specify a fixed number of evenly rows and columns
- Box mapping of multiple channels
- Ability to add offsets to the start, end, top and bottom of
generators
Also of note, a number of styles have been improved in the styles library. Itoo has made available two videos to cover the new features: a quick overview and a longer new features tour. More on Itoo Software’s website.
How about animations? Does RC come with neat animation features?
Because at this point if there’s some animation nodes as well, it could be a good candidate to a MoGraph tool for 3ds Max, as it seems AD is ignoring this niche.
