Strob Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi, Is there a way to propagate direction to children? Let's say I have a radial direction I apply to 50% of my branches, but I want all the children of this 50% branche to inherit the direction from their parents. i want to model this thing: You can see some of its branches are twisted and other are straight but when a branch is curled, all the child branches are curled too.

Eduard Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think that your model can be created without such an propagate direction See my example: Max file: TwistedBranches_1.max Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strob Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 But In your example, 100% of the arms get twisted... Maybe it was not obvious in my phot, but this creature has sometims only some arms that get twaisted. the following picture is better: And when one branch gets twisted all the children below are also twisted in a ball. How can I do that? Would be great to have a feature letting us select particular branches (with a kind of selection set) and get them modified by the direction modifier of our choice. I cheated it by creating some extra twisted branches but I would have like to create the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yes, it can be done by adding an extra twisted branches. Ok, we'll think how to implement your suggestion, but it's a difficult task... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
