Very nice.

To anyone using Max: there is a feature which comes standard with Max that does this. It's called the Spacing Tool.

Man, Where can I find this amazing plugin?

@filipp3d Hello do you speak english. I want to know if you got the script to work properly in Maya. I can make follow the path but it wont follow the curve like this video.

[filipp3d]

Шедеврально!

Great video but after installing the scripts I can get it to follow the curve but all I get is the original shape many times not following the path like you are showing us in your video.

@AnomalyStudios It's in Tools > Align > Spacing Tool, or press Shift + i.

Spacing tool is great for placing objects along a spline but I find it difficult to use if I want to make adjustments after the placing. A lot of times I'll end up using a path deform modifier, the only downside to it is it has a tendency to warp your mesh so it is probably better used for something organic and not rigid.
