This updates sees some improvements to the workflow so you can now duplicate layers in a loft so for example if you are putting a fence on a surface you can now just hit the &#8216;duplicate&#8217; button to copy the layer and then slide it across. A delete button has also been added.<\/p>\n<p>The spline to mesh system has been enchanced now with the option to either fill the shape to make a mesh or to turn the shape into a tube\/line, you can define the radius of the mesh, the number of sides and the start and length as well as cap the ends. The option also allows you do define multi strands with twisting useful for ropes. More meshing options are coming soon such as box and line options which can be used for say tank tracks.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8216;tangent&#8217; option has been added the to Loft Object which allows you to tell the system how far to look ahead when it calculates the forward vectors for the loft allowing you to add more variation to your lofts or to increase the accuracy to make tight corners nicer. And finally the Walk Loft helper which allows you to easily move your game objects over the surface of a loft has had a smoothing value added. I will hopefully be doing a video today to show of the new features in this update.<\/p>\n<h6>v1.15<\/h6>\n<div class=\"verhist\">\n<ul>Added &#8216;Duplicate&#8217; button to layer inspector to easily make a copy of a layer on a loft object.<\/ul>\n<ul>Added &#8216;Delete&#8217; button to layer inspector to easily remove a layer.<\/ul>\n<ul>Added a smooth value to Walk Loft helper script.<\/ul>\n<ul>Added &#8216;tangent&#8217; value to Loft Object to control the accuracy of the forward calculations in the lofter.<\/ul>\n<ul>Added new meshing option to splines, &#8216;Tube&#8217; allows multi-stranded tubes to be made.<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Version 1.15 of MegaShapes has been submitted to the Asset Store.
