Re: Tree making fast technique?
not sure if it was mentioned here but tree maker is actually a fantastic script that speeds up the modeling process: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/tree-maker the way it works is that it creates a set of branches that are linked to each other. After that first random generation you can still adjust the brances… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
I am having trouble getting the SlideNormalTheif script to work in Max 2010. I was able to get NormalTheif to run perfectly fine but when I try and run the Slide version nothing seems to happen. I dont even get the pop up window that shows up in the wiki. I almost never use scripts so I am not sure if I am doing something… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
Not sure, there might be. Here's the script. Does XSI's scripting language let you project between meshes, and read/write vertex normals? -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
Been playing with that TreeMaker script, actually got some decent results once I figured it out. Also played around with a cool little script called Normal Thief. It projects vertex normals from one mesh to another (from the red mesh to my leaves). Super slow, like 1-2 seconds per vertex! But the results are really cool,… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
np Carlos. Did some more testing today. Trying different shapes, different normals, but same textures. Both trees are around 620 tris, including backfaces. The trees that are 2nd from right... I used a more blobby reference shape for the Normal Thief script, worked better than the simpler red shape from before. Also the… -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
I have no idea unfortunately, I have not worked with any XSI scripts. -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
You don't need that script to test vertex normals in Sandbox. Did you miss this earlier post? -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
I got it to work ! Works great after the reset Xform stuff. Great script by the way. Thanks -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
Just tried it, it seems to distribute the normals in another way than the first script. Somehow with the same reference mesh. -
Re: Tree making fast technique?
All that is left is to just try it out. Is there a way I can convert this max script for usage within XSI?
