Zenith Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm trying to make agave plants, where the 'leaves' have a thickness at the base and then taper off to be quite thin. Any chance of getting a 'shell' modifier with a falloff curve for leaves? And perhaps a curved transition for the 'Angle Across'. For now, it seems the best way to make an Agave is to use Max's Loft modifier with a cross section applied to a few splines. By the way...I'm very happy with this plugin...Cheers! - Zenith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrain03 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 That would be a great addition. Leaf thickness isn't really possible at the moment. In order to do this I currently model in GrowFX, and then add a shell modifier to the top of the stack, but you have a pretty limited amount of control. I donated an agave a while ago to the user libraries. It may not be working though. I will try to re-upload a more current one. Have fun Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
