ajroane Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (This may already be possible, please correct me if I am wrong.) To start, I think we all agree that the GrowFX Multi-Map Plug-in is awesome. Now, would it be possible (or worth it) to add that same functionality to distribute instanced meshes over a path, using a bitmap or vertex colors as the control? This could also be built into the current IG_mesh modifier. If an Affect Parameter were available to allow the Path Position on the starting path to affect individual object count rates, then the objects' placement along a path could have a controlled progression. Although I think a map-controlled option would be easier to manipulate quickly. Apologies for the massive influx of posts, just trying to get ideas out while they are fresh on my mind.

Eduard Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi Andrew, Sorry for the delay! I don't quite understand your idea, can you somehow show it maybe on the screenshots? Also, please show us where this can be used, what types of plants, etc... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithcd Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hi Andrew, I was just checking up on this. Were you able to find a work around instead? I was just curios if you were able to make this model already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajroane Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Here are some simple graphics which show the idea of what I'm suggesting. Basically, I would like to be able to control the blending of multiple sub-distributors on a single distributor. Hope this helps. -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajroane Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Here's an example of of how this may be useful. I think it would be easier to model the mature flowers separate from the buds, then blend them together along the length of the stem.
