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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8216;Label&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Train Follow Video<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OOHX2XG-TdI&#038;hd=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autoplay=1\" class=\"fancybox-youtube\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.west-racing.com\/mf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/trainfollowyt.jpg\" alt=\"Click to Play\" width=\"680\" height=\"404\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4595 fancy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.west-racing.com\/mf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/trainfollowyt.jpg 680w, http:\/\/www.west-racing.com\/mf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/trainfollowyt-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Changes in MegaFiers<\/h3>\n<div class=\"verhist\">\n<ul>Added a Label field to each modifier so making it easier to find the exact modifier you need in a complex stack.<\/ul>\n<ul>Added code provided by Sergio Barrera have a LOD value for each Modifier so they can be turned on and off via a lod manager.<\/ul>\n<ul>Included the Mod Lod manager helper script for managing modifier lods.<\/ul>\n<ul>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.<\/ul>\n<ul>Train follow has debug lines for easier editing.<\/ul>\n<ul>Added helper script MegaTrainFollow that allows for multiple objects to follow eg like a train with carriages<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Changed in MegaShaps<\/h3>\n<div class=\"verhist\">\n<ul>Train follow has debug lines for easier editing.<\/ul>\n<ul>Fixed bug in Clone Spline Simple where axis value was being used correctly to calculate repeat count.<\/ul>\n<ul>Fixed bug in Clone Spline Simple where loft was not being positioned correctly over spline if spline not at 0,0,0<\/ul>\n<ul>Fixed bug in Clone Spline where loft was not being positioned correctly over spline if spline not at 0,0,0<\/ul>\n<ul>Added helper script MegaTrainFollow that allows for multiple objects to follow eg like a train with carriages<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have released updates to both MegaFiers and MegaShapes.
