Spacing tool for multiple objects?

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 18:03:25 GMT

Is there anything like that? Object paint would work but it only allows 500 instances, I need way more. I have 3 different objects and need to make them follow a spline in a random order with a distance between them

Just about 3 weeks ago adsk released a new set of cloner MCGs (for 2017) that will do exactly what you are asking. (randomizing objects on a spline.)

To do this, you need to get the new MCGs and install them: (http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/mcg/3ds-max-2017-mcg-samples)

Then:

1.) Create your path

2,) have your random objects ready, and linked to a dummy.

3.) CREATE the PathCloner Object. (Pick the spline)

4.) On the path cloner ADD a "Cloner_Mesher" modifier and hook everything up as shown in the image below.

Hope this helps.
