Creating Ceilings with RailClone
iToo Software has released a new episode of their regular Tips & Tricks tutorials. In this 5 minute video they demonstrate how RailClone can be used to generate ceilings.
In a previous tips and tricks tutorial we looked at how RailClone can be used to “Creating Parquet Flooring”. In this instalment we explore how to create suspended or acoustic ceilings. This style will use a single enclosed spline to define the area and include lights placed at nth intervals on the X and Y axis.
Go ahead and check out the Creating Ceilings tutorial page now!
The files that come with this series are compatible with 3ds Max 2012 2015, V-Ray, Mental Ray, Corona Renderer and RailClone 2 Pro.
Make sure you check the readme file that comes with this scene for the terms of use.
There is a really nice procedural map that produces this with a lot of control in it, maybe not ideal for close up internals, but more than enough for external renders looking in…think I saw it on Vraymaterials.de
How would this work with irregular shaped splines? Say a triangle? Would it cut the tiles (like shapemerge) ?
RobHicklin Hi Rob, yes with the style in this tutorial the tiles are cut on the boundary.
Cheers,

came just in time for some ceilings I wanted to make thanks:)
Its a bizzare but all thr same a good looking style.Something a layman is unable to conceptualize perhaps
I think the idea was concieved keeping in view the larger projects rather than the smaller ones .
but quite good anyway
It’s a really unique and creative idea more suitable for the bigger structure rather then the smaller buildings .But very new unique and original in itself no doubt about it.Not anyone or everyone could actually come up with something like this one ,Really work of a genius mind. http://www.cleanwrap.net/suspended-ceilings/.
