3DMK Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Eduard, Just wondering if it's possible to implement a new feature to make it possible for the leaves mesh & the standard leaves mesh to create a 2-sided leaf??? Could it be as easy as having the GrowFX object duplicate the leaf & just Flip the normals?? As usual, I know nothing about programming Many 3D game engines still require 2 sided polygons & it's really slow & painful to have to manually do this. You need to duplicate the entire GrowFX object, then turn off all the mesh creators except the leaves, then put a normals modifier on it, then do a edit mesh modifier on the original tree & attach the other mesh with the leaves that have flipped normals. As you can see it is quite a long process that could be completely removed by having a simple button/check-box that creates the duplicate leaf & flips the normal. I think this would make GrowFX much more user-friendly & much faster for people making trees/plants for games/low-poly. Cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi Jamie, What of these ways is preferable, with 16 or 8 vertices? I think better to use with 8 vertices, ie for building a second sides, will be used the same vertices... Max file: 2-sided_leaves_1.max Thanks!
