Earns its place in the Autodesk App Store library for keeping cloning fully parametric and non-destructive, with material ID and transform randomization built in.
Clone Modifier from ITOOSOFT is a modifier for Autodesk 3ds Max that creates multiple copies of a geometry object in a few clicks and lets you modify them at any time without starting again. You add the modifier to the geometry object you want to clone, set the number of clones, and adjust the transform settings for displacement, rotation, and scale.
The interface is fully parametric, so you can change the number of duplicates and their distribution whenever you need. A random transform feature can randomly rotate, translate, and scale the cloned geometry, and you can randomize material IDs across the clones for a more chaotic look. Setting the random seed value generates different randomized results. Multiple Clone modifiers can be added to the stack to build 1D, 2D, and 3D arrays, each with its own settings.
Clone Modifier is fully non-destructive and procedurally clones any geometry object. The current release, version 2.4.0, adds official compatibility with 3ds Max 2022 through 2026 and unofficial compatibility with 3ds Max 2014 through 2021.
Clone Modifier is best for 3ds Max artists who need to duplicate geometry objects procedurally and adjust the copies at any time without redoing the work.
Clone Modifier is completely free to download and use.
Clone Modifier lists official compatibility with Autodesk 3ds Max 2022 through 2026, and unofficial compatibility with 3ds Max 2014 through 2021. If you are on a version in the unofficial range, expect it to work without a formal guarantee from the developer. The current release is version 2.4.0, updated on 2025-07-07. For the most accurate compatibility details and any version-specific notes, check ITOOSOFT's page before installing.
Clone Modifier is fully non-destructive, meaning you can edit its settings at any time without having to start again. You add it to a geometry object, set the number of clones, and adjust the transform settings for displacement, rotation, and scale, then change any of those values later. Because it works through a fully parametric interface, you can revise the number of duplicates and their distribution whenever the design changes, rather than committing to a fixed result.
Clone Modifier lets you add multiple Clone modifiers to the stack to create 1D, 2D, and 3D arrays, each with its own settings. A single modifier handles one set of clones with its own transform increments, and stacking additional modifiers extends that into further dimensions. This means you can build layered arrangements of duplicated geometry without leaving the modifier stack.
Clone Modifier includes a random transform feature that can randomly rotate, translate, and scale the cloned geometry for added variety. It can also randomize material IDs across the clones, giving the result a more chaotic, realistic look. Setting the random seed value lets you generate different randomized results, so you can cycle through variations. These options work alongside the standard increment settings for translation, rotation, and scale.
Clone Modifier is listed as free in this catalog, so there is no dollar figure to report here. For the current licensing terms, download, and any conditions attached to using it, visit ITOOSOFT's page directly. The listing here covers version 2.4.0, last updated on 2025-07-07, with official compatibility for 3ds Max 2022 through 2026 and unofficial compatibility back to 2014. Checking the developer's page is the best way to confirm the latest details before you install.
