suitlm Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi, there is a plant i created in GrowFX. it's looks good ,every branches interval are uniform distribution. but when i add "Noise" modifier on "trunk",you will see some "branch1" changed their direction. some place become a big hole,and some place the branch cross together. i know this will let the trees looks natural. but,in fact ,The trees in order to get enough sun light.they will change the direction of branch to let it fill the hole. the branch and leaf will distribution on average without human intervention. Can you develop a new function to reduce the modifiers in parent-path effect sub-path? or some function to control "path" distribution on average! I always use a lots of time to adjust branches to let the trees looks plump at every angle. As you can see , the trees will grow like shape "1" not shape "2"。but now ,if i add "Noise" modifier in GrowFX, it will looks like shape"2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi, Yes, great idea, thanks! We'll try to implement it quickly... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suitlm Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 You can develop a function let the sub-path to identify parent-path as it doesn't add any modifier。it just like "cheat" ,we can adjust value to control mixing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptrain03 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 agreed this would be useful. the only way I have been able to do it in the past is to use the spline direction modifier and make the part of the p1 where p2 connects straight. it works but its time consuming.

Eduard Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi everyone! We developed this feature, and now we need to give it a name... So, it's a new modifier that should be added BEFORE any other modifiers, such as Noise direction. As a result, the branches will be directed as if Noise modifier doesn't exist. See my example: Anyone who has any ideas for the name of this modifier? Thanks! GrowFX 1.9.5 coming soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MohdSalim Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Good news Eduard, thanks. This will sure help make the trees look better. Perhaps a name close to "disable parent path", or "affect parent" would explains this modifier well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks, but now we named it as "Align Childs" modifier. What do you think about this name? To be more clear, this modifier is applied to the parent path... Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MohdSalim Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Oh, that clears things up. The name sounds good also, can't wait for version 1.9.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajroane Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Great idea! This is picky, but 'Childs' is not a correct word, in English. I would suggest 'Align Children', or 'Align Child'. Thanks again, Eduard, for the great support and development! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
