Stochastic flakes plugin, take 2

[Steve_Green]

Heard about this from Neil posting on fb - this sounds great, not sure what to suggest beyond what has already been mentioned, but I'm definitely interested.

Thanks,

Steve

I think that this would be an amazing tool for our studio. Please Vlado, find the time to finish this amazing plugin.

I'd love to see this triplanar mapping developed. 90% of my mapping is fugly box mapping, which can work most of the time until there are rounded shapes. This new feature looks like it would help my workflow with mapping substantially.

Vlado I'll send you the code for what I got up to on my take on it. I called it multiplanar because it used 3, 6 and 18 planes (from memory). I got stuck on the DUDV coefficients. It may or may not be useful

This is fantastic and would be a huge timesaver. Thankyou Vlado! Very exciting side projects lately - first the Mudbox to Vrmesh workflow (genius idea), now blended box mapping ..... what next?!

[Jon3D]

We would also use this plugin every day. Thank you for your efforts.

This is fantastic
I've been waiting for a triplanar map in 3ds max for a loong time.

For my needs it would be perfect if it had a few more things:

- Offset, rotation for each of 3 planes... If there would be a map slot for each plane as well it would be even better

- A way to randomize it for multiple mtlids.

- A World space option in addition to the Local space it uses now, so we could map multiple objects as one. I'm doing only stills and this sort of mapping is most useful for things where exact texture placement is not important, so it wouldn't matter if the object's mapping changed when moved around. It would be very fast to set up, as no helper object would be needed.

I want to see Neil's 15 year wait finally over just so that I can say "I was there"

This is great!!
That's why everyone should use Vray, with a guy like Vlado at the top this cant go wrong!
Love to see triplanar finished and officially released!

Would love to know a bit more about that mudbox to VRMesh workflow, Could you please share the link to the thread?

Cheers

+1 or +100
thanks for the great effort, vlado!
if the suggestions from neil and viscorbel are in the final stage of the plugin, 3D makes fun again.

best regards

+1 as well.

This will make a huge difference to the way I work.

[psanitra]

+1 for the triplanar/blended box plugin. gogogo!

[spyzor]

Yep, that looks very promising.

Can't wait to see what's coming next

As a Neal, I second everything Neil says
