lukx Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I'm looking for tips to create the Aloe plant. I have problems with creating those small pins on the sides of main leaf and also I think it's should be meta mesh but then I'm not sure how to control the shape. aloePlant.max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukx Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 got to something liek this but still need to position pikes more on the sides of main steam and the lengths of pike should get shorter when going up. aloePlant.max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukx Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think it's more complicated and I will have to model manually to get the pikes correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmonky Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi lukx. Not sure if this is what you are after but it might help Aloe.max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi lukx, You can create one leaf by hand. Then use it in the Instanced Geometry with the Deform along path option. Also you can delete this leaf after creating this aloe, and GrowFX will keep it inside of itself. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool idea Eduard but doesn't seems to work. Leaf isn't bending to the path deformation. Untitled.max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hi lukx, You just need to turn the pivot that the Z axis is up. I also improved your Aloe. If you don't mind, I'll add it to our user Plants library... Aloe_1.max (Max 2018) Aloe_1.gfx Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
