RailClone is a Windows extension for the popular Autodesk 3ds Max graphics editor. It provides tools for advanced parametric 3D modeling. Additionally, users are able to build complex objects by combining standard geometric shapes and applying textures to all surfaces. Please note that the free version of RailClone has limited capabilities.

Parametric modeling

You can define rules for object creating using a visual node editor. Instruments for tweaking project settings such as the size, shape and randomness to achieve endless variation are provided.

It is possible to generate massive quantities of unique models with minimal impact on the overall performance. The underlying instancing technology keeps memory utilization in check, allowing users to create large complex scenes.

Rendering settings

This plugin helps you apply textures and materials to custom objects. There are flexible options for procedural image generation, tiling and randomization. Moreover, tools for scattering 3D models along preconfigured paths and quickly filling whole surfaces are included. Repetitive patterns can be created with ease as well.
