HI ! I have created a realistic RailClone preset of 3-Tab Asphalt Roof Shingles. These are the most popular roof coverings in the United States and Canada I think. It should speed up Your workflow and increase the overall look and realism of Your renderings.
Please, get it here from my gumroad profile:
What You get:
– 3-Tab asphalt shingles RailClone preset (RailClone Pro 3.2.0, 3dsmax 2014 file)
– 12 different asphalt shingles Vray materials (Multi/Sub-Object material, vray 3.6)
– 2K Textures
How to use and how it works:
I have recorded a quick tutorial showing You a whole process on a simple roof:
Quick description of the process:
– merge the ‘3Tab_shingles_RC.max’ file to Your scene
– pick/draw Your spline for shingles
– pick/draw Your spline for Ridges/Hips
– pick/draw Your spline for Hip ends clipping
– adjust the bend modifier for ridge/hip caps to match the pitch of the roof on each side
– by changing the spline element ID (1-12), You pick the predefined pitch from 1/12 to 12/12
– adjust rotation of a hip in case of a different pitch on each side
– by changing vertex type from corner to bezier/bezier corner change the starting shingle to a one with cut off corners
Here are the previously mentioned 12 materials ready to use in vray:

RailClone is a 3dsmax plugin for parametric modelling that is fast and efficient, it operates on splines and can save You a lot of work/time. For me, the crucial benefit is that it saves You a lot of ram usage during rendering process and it also helps with the viewport performance as it can display geometry in point cloud mode.
