Hawkington Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi I downloaded some free models from the growfx official website. I would like to learn some of the methods from these examples I practice making a cactus model，but when I finished this“mesh builder” step，these thorns can not be attached to the surface， In my understanding, The length of the“distributor” of the growing thorn should be equal to the radius of the stem，but these values should have curve control，It is difficult to be precise I understand the incorrect or there are other ways to control that？ Because the example is done perfectly！ I look forward to reply Thanks in advance！ practice.max practice.max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi Hawkington, Just need to little change the Factor graph in the following affects: needles_stem > st > Parameter:Path position > needles_stem->Length needles_stem > end > Parameter:Path position > needles_stem->Length Please see in the fixed scene: practice_1.max Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkington Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 thanks！Edurad. I try it！ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtc Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Great plant!, I've discovered that the trunk displacement can be made thanks to this file- thanks! I tried to make a spherical cactus, but copying the curve from stem radius is not working for me (I've also checked your file and values are different How can I copy exact curve to make needles_stem right lenght thanks! best! one more question.. Is it possible to use the similar method to create opuntia? I've searched for something like that but with no success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've searched for something like that but with no success It seems that 3dmentor has already created this plant, but need to ask him...Thanks!
