Availability: Open Source

Plugin Updated: October 8 2008

Details:
Clones the current layer a given number of times. Assigning each clone a weight map value proportional to the number of clones.

Can clone a point or polygon selection as well.

The Oct 8 2008 update adds the ability to use a background spline to control the applied weight values.

The cubes in the sample image were moved by using the standard Move tool after adjusting its Falloff to Weight Map. Many other Modify tools can use a weight map to control their falloff which allows the tool's effect to be applied in proportion to the weight map's value.

Here's a video that shows how to make a set of staircases.
