MegaShapes

New versions released

Train Follow

We have released updates to both MegaFiers and MegaShapes. A new feature in the MegaShapes package (also included in the MegaFiers version) is a helper script to make it easier for multiple objects to follow a spline path in a connected way for example a train. The system allows you define the spacing between objects and also allows wheels to be steered separately from the main object if you want.

MegaFiers also sees a couple of bug fixes as well as some additions to the common params for each Modifier, you can now add a label to each modifier so in the event you have a lot of modifiers attached to an object you can track down the one you want by looking at the ‘Label’ string. Also a LOD value was added thanks to Sergio Barrera which allows for modifiers to be disabled or or enabled via a lod system, a LOD manager helper script is also included.

    Bug fix, when using meshes that change vertex counts the internal data structures were not being updated correctly, again thanks to Sergio Barrera this has been fixed.
