Bricks

[Franx]

I'll sometimes use FloorGenerator with MultiTextures to build a panel, then plug that in Railclone. This lets me play with brick size, grout width and protrusion (without the need for a displacement map).
This doesnt work in every situation obviously.

No response from support for either Parquetex or Quicktiles!

Quicktile got back to me, and they should have a MAX 2025 version within a couple of months. This, to me, is a reason not to go down that route. I wouldn't be able to rely on a plugin that takes eight months to update every year.

architextures.org worked perfectly when selecting multiple bricks. It is now my new brick solution.

Here is the house that I used, architextures.org, for the three bricks. It turned out great and will be my new brick creator.

What do you mean bricked? It's not being sold/updated anymore? Do you mean the omnitiles plugin for 3ds Max? I used about all of them including quicktiles which is very fast and promissing, but in the end I settled for Standalone Omnitiles. This one runs outside of Max. Omnitiles Standalone Individual (Perpetual) - VIZPARK™

I hope it still works if I choose the reinstall, if not, that would be strange. Might want to contact the developer before purchasing.

Omni Tile has been bricked (turned off), which was my problem. They sold their software, and the developer who purchased it pulled the plug. Are they going to do something new? I don't know, but right now it doesn't work.

Where did you get that news from? My standalone is still working for now. You didn't answer the question if it's the plugin?

[glorybound]

When I launch my standalone, it will not grab a license.

Honestly Bobby, you always ending up answering half of the questions, these topics would go smoother if you did some more effort on your part. I'm not sure if you want to be helped or need a sounding board.

So again, where did you get that news from? Did you contact the developer? This was supposed to be a perpetual license and I would hate for it to go.

...This was supposed to be a perpetual license and I would hate for it to go.

When a product has been sold with a perpetual license with online activation, the activation should be available even if the product is discontinued. Of course the product can only be used under the conditions (like OS) as advertized, but a failing activation should not be a limiting factor. Since VizPark is still selling products on TurboSquid I guess they are available for solving this. If there is no way to activate it anymore they should provide an unlocked version.

I don't know why you are being so aggressive. OmniTile no longer works, so I asked for recommendations. I remember reading that they are selling all their assets, and it looks like something has changed since I can no longer get a license. I emailed from their website repeatedly and got no reply, so I can only assume they closed the shop. I had a subscription, and about a year ago, I emailed them asking why I was paying for a subscription when the software hadn't been updated in a year. They agreed and stopped charging me.

It's strange that they didn't make Omnitiles (Standalone) available for free as they did with their other old (perpetual) products. That way it is not neccessary to keep a working activation system.

Aggressive? No. Frustrated? Yes. Why? Well, in most threads you have a big problem with comprehensive reading. Not answering the questions properly for instance. I asked you where you got that news from and no response and reading it somewhere, is not really a source. But anyway:

I just tested this on a workstation that didn't have it activated and took the chance to deactivate my license on one to activate it on the other, and it works.

You're also confusing two things, your screenshot is to the OmniTiles plugin for 3ds Max page. If you purchased OmniTiles Standalone as you mentioned that's the one you used: login into your account, there you will see your licenses, if it doesn't say perpetual then that would suck for you. I'm not sure there were even subscription licenses as all my licenses are perpetual from VizPark. I paid like 35 euro's 6 years ago.

So not sure what's going on with your setup but the license can still be activated and deactivated granted you have one. If you do, check your VP license manager, there you can activate and deactivate your license, maybe it's still activated on an old windows installation or old workstation.

In any case, I always had fast responses from Martin in the past. Might want to try and contact him through other means if he doesn't reply.

Maybe you can reach the (previous?) owner of VizPark here:
