Ну давайте позже потом добавлю галочку в Preference parameters, чтобы она включала этот режим. Если у кого будут тормоза, то выключат ее и все. Для какой версии макса собрать плагин?

Hello Fei Hua, Thanks for the explanation and the screenshot. Yes, I understand your idea. This is a slightly different feature from the Path position mode that we have just added. The new Path position mode solves the case where the same parent path is repeated through several levels. In Across all levels mode, the Path position value is calculated continuously across these repeated levels, so the curve does not restart from 100% to 0% on each level. Your Curve Range node idea would be a more general utility node. It would allow taking only a selected part of a curve, for example 0–50% or 50–100%, and remapping that part back to the full 0–1 range for use by another Affect node. This could be useful for manually sharing one curve between several paths or several Affect nodes. We'll look into this idea for a future update. Thanks again for the detailed suggestion!

Hello Fei Hua, Thank you for the suggestion! We've added a new option for Affect nodes: Path position mode. It has two modes: - Local level — the default behavior. The Path position value is calculated separately on each parent path level, so the curve starts from 100% and goes to 0% on every repeated level. - Across all levels — the Path position value is calculated continuously across all repeated parent path levels, based on their actual lengths. This allows one curve to work over the full combined length instead of restarting on each level. This screenshot shows the default Local level mode, where branches grow from 100% to 0% on each level: The second screenshot shows the new Across all levels mode, where the same curve is applied across all levels continuously. This option will be included in the next GrowFX update. If you need this version now, please send me a private message and I can send it to you. Thanks again!

Hello Fei Hua, Thanks for the suggestion. We've added a new Orientation option to the Vector Direction modifier. You can now choose Horizontal plane to make branches tend toward a horizontal orientation while keeping their own radial direction around the trunk. This should help achieve the effect shown in your examples, especially for controlling branches after the parent path direction has been changed. This option will be included in the next GrowFX update. Thanks again!
