Levi Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 For a while now I've been using GrowFX to produce corals and other plants, but I'm having difficulty re-creating a particular species with GrowFX's current toolset. If anyone has any suggestions for achieving results similar to the shape below, please let me know.If I had more control over the deformation of GrowFX's base geometry (such as using a custom spline as a base from which to extrude a cylinder mesh), I might be able to do it (additional capping options would be beneficial too). Instancing pre-made geometry is the obvious solution, but then I have to deal with intersections and a lack of the procedural randomness I've come to love from GrowFX. Meta-meshes are too time consuming to calculate and would simply congeal the whole shape into a blob rather than preserve the individual stalks. And either of those methods necessitate a great deal more geometry be created than is needed or desired. In any case, I'd like to see what others can do to re-create this affect and maybe it will even inspire some new tool ideas within GrowFX.

Eduard Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi Levi, I tried different ways to create this coral, but I've not found any result. Maybe anyone else will be able to create it... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncht Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Nice work so far Levi. Have you found a work around on what you're trying to achieve here though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
