Added full support for non-ascii characters (as Chinese). Fixed: Configuration Environment Variables aren't prioritized over HKLM / HKCU. Fixed crash initializing plugin when RailClone registry key doesn't exist. Fixed: RCSpline User Data (Scene Units) not scaling correctly with System Unit change. Fixed: RCSpline Data Sets are only available to the first spline in the Base Objects list. Fixed: Styles with multiple dependencies between Segments (as Exported Parameters linked to Exported Attribues), are not built correctly with Display->Update. Fixed potential crashing bug using Display->"Quick Mesh" mode. Fixed potential crash on RailClone Stats. Improved slicing accuracy for Segments placed near edges of a Clipping Area. * If needed, use a standard Weld modifier instead. It no longer has any sense, because is not efficient with complex styles and breaks instancing.
* This feature was introduced in the initial RC releases. * Each item has an associated float value, which is returned as the parameter's output. * Parameter is selected from a list of predefined items, which are shown in Max rollout using a combo list. Added a new type of Numeric Parameter: Selector. * Instanced segments cannot be bent or sliced, and Z Deform is restricted as well. When enabled, a Segment is always instanced on rendering. Added Segment->Deform->"Force Instance". Added modifier modes to Generator->Evenly->Adaptive: Even, Odd and Any. It creates and saves the proxy (overriding the file if exists), and returns a description error when failed. For External, use $.setProxyMode 2 "proxyFileName.rcproxy". * Proxy Cache can be managed from Maxscript using $.setProxyMode If you change the renderer, we suggest regenerating the Proxy. Result may be different depending of the active render engine, when Proxy was generated. 'Material by Segment' and non-geometric objects are supported in Embedded mode only.
Note that this does not affect the render. The viewport display is limited to the mode that was active when the proxy was created. * Proxy Cache is available for RailClone Pro only. You can check proxy size from the Display rollout. * Size of Proxy Cache depends of the object complexity, including number of segments and its geometry. If you want to change it, set Proxy mode to 'Disable', make the changes and bake it again. * A baked object cannot be modified or edited. This is especially interesting for complex styles. * Baked objects load and render much faster, because RailClone doesn't rebuild them. It lets you bake a RailClone object into the scene or an external file. * Non-geometric segments are displayed in the viewport with the Material ID defined by Display->"Non-geom Mat.ID" If that affects to your style, we suggest to use the "Fixed Size" feature. * Size of some non-geometric objects may not be reliable or change depending on the active viewport. As a workaround, objects are inserted in the scene before rendering, and removed once completed. * Currently there is no native support for any renderer. Added experimental support for non-geometric objects (including lights). When a Group is deleted from scene, it's removed from RailClone as well. * Groups cannot be 'embedded' within the RC object. It's not possible to pick a group directly from scene. * To assign a group, use Selector by Name. Added support of 3DS Max groups in Segments. Note 1: Beta versions include new features and fixes, but a beta version is NOT the final version of the product and therefore we don't guarantee there won't be errors that may disrupt the computer's operation and/or result in data loss.
