Are you sure you're using GrowFX 2.0 version?

 

Although it works in version 1.9.9 SP10 as well.

 

Thanks!

[Growfx Convert To Mesh by Animation]

Hello Usman,

 

Are you sure you're using GrowFX 2.0 version?
I just tested this script before posting it here.

 

Thanks!

[Growfx Convert To Mesh by Animation]

Hello Usman,

 

Yes, it seems possible to animate the Seed value, but it doesn't update during the animation, and it doesn't update the object.
We'll fix this in the next upgrade.

Thanks for your bug report!

 

Now you can try using this script to create 10 models (for example):

 

gfx = $
iseed = gfx.Seed

for i = 1 to 10 do (
	gfx.NewSeed()
	gfx.update()
	snapshot gfx
)

gfx.Seed = iseed
gfx.update()

 

Thanks!

[GrowFx to GrowFx2 Maxscript Methodes]

Hello 

 

Yes, these methods don't work in version 2.0, because component indexes don't exist. Instead, we plan to add new methods that will work with nodes.
Just in version 2.0 there are no components like in version 1.9.9, there is a single array of nodes.

 

Thanks!

[Explode to Mesh Per Plant]

Hi wallworm,

 

Sorry for the delay!

 

Oh, you need a new version, which we already have.
I can send you an update. What version of 3dsMax do you have?

 

Thanks!

[Explode to Mesh Per Plant]

But the pivot seems to be created where the object has its start, just like you wanted. Have you really checked this?

Ok, we'll add a MaxScript method for this feature.

Thanks!

[[BUG] : Create Point alignment broken with Snaps On]

Hi wallworm,

 

Yes, you're right, there was a strange behavior of the created point when snaps are turned on.
But we've fixed it and it will work fine in the next update.

 

Thanks!

[Explode to Mesh Per Plant]

Hi wallworm,

 

Apologize for the delay in replying!

 

There is already such a button in GrowFX 2.0: Create separate objects in the Preferences parameters rollout.

It just creates separate objects as you want.

 

Thanks!

Здравствуйте!

 

Видимо я уже поздновато пришел в эту дискуссию

Но я вижу, вроде Вы уже и сами разобрались...

Знаете что было бы супер - глобальный параметр который считает высоту расположения координаты Z, ну или простыми словами возможность менять параметры в зависимости от высоты дерева, будь там хоть супер изогнутые ветки или еще что.. часто вот эта мысль приходила в голову

Ну это вроде может делать PathPosition от главных веток, и там вычисления идут в %% от 0 до 100. А влиять можно уже на что угодно.

 

Спасибо!

[Изменение материала по длине ветки.]

Добрый день!

Да, возможно не все понятно на этой картинке, хотя мы надеялись на обратное.

Вот смотрите, в Input Map нужно поместить карту Vertex color, которая будет определять цвет самих вершин на объекте.

И в зависимости от этого цвета, данная карта (данный плагин) будет подставлять ту или иную карту из списка заданных.

Цвета выбираются из диапазона от Start color до End color, обычно можно использовать от черного до белого.

В итоге, если у вас вертексы какого-то листика дерева выкрашены черным цветом, то на этот листик будет назначена первая карта (Map #1) из списка.

Соответственно, если вертексы листика имеют белый цвет, то такой листик получит последнюю карту.

Все остальные карты будут распределены по градиенту цвета, от черного к белому, как в данном примере.

Соответственно, чтобы эта система работала, нужно должным образом раскрасить цвета всех вершин у самого объекта.

Если этот объект является GrowFX-растением, то там есть возможность использовать компоненты VertexColor, которые по некоторым алгоритмам могут раскрасить вертексы дерева. Как они работают описано тут: https://exlevel.com/growfx2-manual/VertexColor_Overview.html

 

На странице о GrowFXMultiMap можно скачать пример этого растения: https://exlevel.com/tutorials/HowToUseGrowFXMultiMap/

 

Конечно, в Input Map может быть и любая другая карта, и тогда карты будут назначаться по другому принципу, но основная идея была в том, чтобы использовать именно Vertex color.

 

Надеюсь все понятно, если будут вопросы, пишите.

Спасибо!

[Modify CacheFileName property via script]

Hi,

 

You need to use the NewCacheFile or LoadCacheFile methods instead of the CacheFileName property.

 

Cache Mode methods:
NewCacheFile <string_path_filename>
Specifies the name of the new cache file. Returns true if the file was successfully prepared, false if it failed.

LoadCacheFile <string_path_filename>
Loads the specified cache file. Returns true if the cache file was found and loaded successfully.

 

Thanks!

Hi AdyHun,

 

Yes, it makes sense, we'll add this checkbox.

[Convert to mesh is missing from Prefrences parameters even though i bought the licance]

Hi CGMoe,

 

This option is turned on by default in new versions. So you can convert to mesh as usual in 3dsMax.
Keep in mind, a simple mesh doesn't support animation, but you can use the PointCache modifier for the wind animation.

 

Thanks!

[gfx system instancing]

Hi mad,

 

We tried this before, but it didn't work. If you've an instanced object, then it's completely instanced, and you can't make different input parameters.

 

I've an idea to implement a new modifier that will overwrite public input parameters. And then you can clone the GrowFX object as a reference object, and apply this modifier like Bend in this screenshot:

 

Thanks!

[Point Distributor list selection]

Hi! Eduard! I can use the expression perfectly in GrowFX1.9.9, but the expression does not work under the same setting in GrowFX2.0. The error in the Listener is "- Unknown property: "Path_01" in $GrowFX001", how to solve this What's the problem? excuse me!

 

Hi Rubberji,

 

Yes, this only works in GrowFX 1.9.9. In version 2.0 there are no Path and Distributor components, instead it uses nodes. And we've not yet implemented MaxScript access to the nodes and their properties, because we don't know how much users will need it.
But in any case, we're planning to add MaxScript functions for accessing nodes.

Thanks!

[Point Distributor list selection]

Hi Rubberji,

 

Maybe you should try using the MaxScript command for the Point Distribution?

<growfx>.<path>.<distributor>.AddPoint <point_object>

 

With this, you can create a looping over a set of points.

For example, select your GrowFX object and run this script:

gfx = $

 

Then select all points and run the following script:

for pt in selection do ( gfx.Path_01.PointDistr_01.AddPoint pt )

 

Don't forget to rename the "Path_01" and "PointDistr_01" components as they may have other names.

 

Here you can see other MaxScript commands:

Thanks!
