-
For 3DS Max 2022 and above, RailClone is installed at
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
, using the latest package format for plugins.- Target folder for 3DS Max 2022 and above can be customized in the installer.
- Added support for silent installation in render nodes (/S in command line)
- Installer detects if 3DS Max is running and can close it.
-
Added support for Corona Decals
-
Added new field for RailClone Lister: Build Time.
- By default, this field is hidden. You must add it from the Lister configuration.

Added Deform->"Slope Fixing" to Transform operator.
Improvements
- Dynamic Geometry for V-Ray is disabled. It was causing rendering slowdown in some scenes.
- This feature lets RC to compute segments dynamically while rendering.
- Removed double-click behaviour for RailClone Lister->Name field, which should rename the object, because it was not working well. Now it just selects the object.
