GrowFxUser Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi all, I was doing an experiment on a model and wanted to achieve the opposite leaf arrangement type. I added a distributor for the leaves and set the count amount to 2. However, the leaves are flipped on one side. I've attached a render. I was wondering if there's a way to fix that without having to use two distributors instead of one, which I might not be aware? I also collapsed it to a mesh to unify the normals, however, as you can see still some of the leaves are acting out. Oh, and I also tried using both circular and angular leaf arrangement, none did work. I've also attached the max files, just in case. Any idea anyone? Thank you, Ashkan Test.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Ashkan, For the VecOrient_01 modifier please increase the Strength up to 100% instead of 8.92. I noticed this in the screenshots, if it doesn't help, please let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrowFxUser Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi Eduard, Thank you for your reply. I did that and it didn't fix the issue. I'm guessing the only logical way is to use two different distributors and put each on one side of the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tora_2097 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 If you can provide the gfx file instead of 3dsmax I could take a look for as well. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the only logical way is to use two different distributors and put each on one side of the path. Hi Ashkan, Yes, you have unsymmetrical leaves, so my advice is not working. To solve the problem, I did the following way: Firstly, I configured only leaves for right side (I named it Leaves_R). Then I just copied this path and renamed it as Leaves_L. For this path, I just set the Start angle: Angle axis = 180 in the PathDistr_01-> Distributor in point settings, and for Leaves_mesh_01 I turned on the Flip normals. See my attached file: TestAngular_1.max Adiantum aleuticum_1.gfx If you can provide the gfx file instead of 3dsmax I could take a look for as well. Hi Benjamin, For you I attached the original files saved as gfx, if you want check: TestAngular.gfx TestCircular.gfx Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrowFxUser Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi Eduard, Thank you so much. It did help. I just needed to flip them along their path (or just flip the textures). Also in case anyone is interested I uploaded the same plant with both "Circular" and "Angular" distribution type. On top of that I added both "Alternate" leaf arrangement as well as "Opposite" leaf arrangement.

doncht Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi GFU, I'd like to see the end product for this. Any chance that you can post it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
