Dupli-Curve is a Blender add-on designed to simplify the distribution of objects along a path, offering versatile applications for environment design and asset modeling.

Key features:

  • Object Distribution: Distribute objects along a curve, useful for tasks like placing trees along a road or rivets on a curved surface.
  • Random or Ordered Distribution: Choose to randomly distribute objects or order them from a collection based on the first selected object.
  • Spacing Control: Adjust the space between objects, ensuring they follow the curve without deviating.
  • Randomization Options: Randomize the location, rotation, and scale of the distributed objects for varied effects.
  • Real-Time Adjustments: Modify settings in real-time, with immediate feedback in the viewport.
  • Vertical Lock (Z Lock): Ensure all objects remain vertical, regardless of the curve’s orientation.
  • Conversion Options: Convert the distributed objects into a single global mesh or individual instance meshes.
  • Follow Curve Options: Includes ‘Lock Up’ to keep instances vertical and ‘Fill’ to completely populate the curve with instances.
