Issue with the length of IG Mesh

[avihcc]

Hi Eduard:

 

May I know how we can match the length of the IG mesh display in lines and Meshes as attached?

Or can we construct this petiole of the palm in growfx instead ?

 

Thanks

Hi avihcc,

 

You can create an Affect from the Path Lenght to the Scale of the IG mesh.

Thus, you'll make the scale of your IG objects dependent on the length of the palm stems.
Please see how this works in my screenshot:

 

Thanks!

Thanks  Eduard for the reply.

 

However, I have another issue with the IG mesh. Am always getting problem with  the IG mesh material to be combined to the Growfx object.

I always need to trial and error manys times in generating multi material  to get it work in most cases.

 

May i know whats the tricks or the correct steps we need to follow in order to  get this done easily?

 

Thanks !

Everything is very simple there:
Assign different materials to your objects that are used in the Instanced geometry. After that, turn on the Generate MultiMaterial and click Update button in the IG settings. GrowFX will itself assign MultiSubObject material and apply a new MatIDs for these objects.
Then just check the material from your GrowFX object in the material editor so that everything is properly assigned.

Thanks!
