Damn you must be a legitimate genius! I watched the video and straight away I knew I'd stumbled across something great! I'm yet to play with anything like this, but when I create some streams or maybe a volcano in my UDK levels, I'll know where to look! Just hope I can get it to work properly. I'm not too good with…
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/flow-map-painter thanks for the comments guys :) and @haiddasalami: glad I could help :) I uploaded a new version by the way, capped off the maximum value popping and fiddled with the values a bit to make the brush change color value more quickly. the production has slowed down a…
right, new update :D big one this time, update list is on scriptspot: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/flow-map-painter short update list: - massive UI and useability update, with improved actual functionality - layer functionality (with layer names!) - layer combination button - layer export button - button…
Will try on a water shader tonight, but for now, here is a character model which should allow for some high level tinkering with micro detail realism ;) The only issue is that sometimes the flow doesn't follow the direction I painted the map in, I'm guessing this is more of a 'limitation' from the flow map itself rather…
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/flow-map-painter updated my script, apparently the colors were still off, so now they should be correct :) also, little update: the test shader has been created, so I will be uploading that with the final version, but you won't have any use for it now so there's no use in uploading…
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/flow-map-painter as per your request, i took the radius out of the equation and edited the algorithm so now you should be painting pretty accurate colors keep in mind that the offset is still a factor. i'm working on a conversion for the offset to just give the direction, and the…
i quickly recreated the very core of the shader I used in the video - i can't upload upk file, since there are some external files in there that I can't share. (copyright and all) but in this screenshot, all you really need is there. hope this helps :) about the spottiness: i'm assuming you are referring to a slight noise…
upon popular demand, I uploaded a new version of the HowTo.txt file, including installation instructions :) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/flow-map-painter edit: thought i might give you guys an update on the status of the project; i've been working on artwork during the week, and weekends have been reserved for…
*bump* allright guys i've been working really hard on the script the past few days; as an answer to your question, Ace-Angel; no, i'm afraid it doesn't work for max 09; for now it only works for 2012 and up, but i'm working on getting it max 10 and 11 compatible as well. the problem is that the directory structure of the…
@Anuxinamoon: the viewport feedback of your flow map is actually the biggest problem I have right now. for some reason, maxscript doesn't allow me to access or set a bitmap value in the diffuse map slot of any kind of material whatsoever. i'm using theMaterial.diffuse.bitmap = theBitmap, or something similar to set the…
