Description and Responsibilities

Throughout my career as a Senior Technical Designer, I have developed numerous custom tools to streamline workflows for designers and developers. The Spline Cloner Tool is one of these solutions, enabling the automated distribution of instanced meshes along a spline.

Multi-Mesh Integration: Supports assigning a list of different meshes. The system randomly selects from this list to automatically diversify the scene and prevent repetition.

Transform & Variation: Features simple sliders for adjusting spacing, rotation, and scale. Designers can set min/max random values to break uniformity easily without complex setups.

Smart Alignment: Includes auto-snap capabilities that allow meshes to align with the ground or a specific selected actor. It also features smart location logic, ensuring attachments work correctly even on moving actors or platforms.

Optimization & Usability: While the system is capable of delivering high-fidelity results suitable for cinematics, it is engineered to remain highly optimized for real-time gaming. Designed with a focus on user-friendliness, it is fully controllable through a custom Editor Utility Widget.
