snapshot doesnt work. vraymeshexport neither, with particle

[tom schuelke]

Hi,

ive got a smal problem with a tree i construckted. to get some more leaves, i used particleflow with instancing geometrie.

now i wanted to convert the whole tree to vraymesh. this does work for the tree itselve,

but using the snapshot which usualy creates a mesh from your particles (which are now instanced leaves), i only get a new particleflow system with the name "GPF-Quelle , instead of PF-Quelle....

without any mesh.

am i doing anything wrong ?

Often you can snapshop pflow properly... or at all.

I have a little script that will do just the thing for you. Its at home tho..

Actually I think this is it.. try it out and let me know if it doesnt work..

Ah Well i found it out...


its a bit tricky..

first create in the compound objects a mesher object,

include your pf system,

(it has to be transfered to 0,0,0 before)

and convert it to a poly or mesh...


arrgh.. but works

pffft.. too much trouble. just use the script

Hi Da force...


Your Script works like a charme compared to max intern workflow...
