Would you like a complete script that generates center line, edge lines, and zebra crossings from a single spline? road marking generator 3ds max
Most generators have a UI panel that looks like a traffic manual. You need to define:
-- DashLineGenerator.ms (simplified)
fn createDashedLine laneSpline dashLen gapLen width height zOffset =
(
seg = splineShape width:width length:dashLen
totalLen = getPathLength laneSpline
pos = 0.0
lst = #()
while pos < totalLen do
(
t = pos/totalLen
p = getPointOnSpline laneSpline t
tan = getTangentOnSpline laneSpline t
s = copy seg
s.pos = [p.x, p.y, p.z + zOffset]
s.rotation = (quatFromDir tan [0,0,1])
add lst s
pos += dashLen + gapLen
)
delete seg
return lst
)

Corona/VRay tips:
While known for RailClone, Itoo offers specialized scripts. RoadMaker Pro is the industry standard for arch viz. It allows you to select a spline and instantly assign lane configurations.
