Autodesk Maya – rsObjectsInPath Tool

This tool allows to duplicate objects and distribute them uniformly on a path.
With this tool, you can select 3 basic object types (Empty Group, Locator & Joint) or a scene object and the number of times they will be duplicated.
It has several options: to mantain position or orientantion constrain, keep the global orientation and hierarchy new objects.

This tool can also be used to modelling.
You can also duplicate a scene object in a path, specifying if you want to create a duplicate or an instance. When the scene object is a curve type it allows to create a loft (poligonal or nurbs) and if you are using an instance you can modify the original object to affect the instances.

If you are experiencing issues with playback, you can download the video here (~5MB).
