vray proxy and scatter

[Crayox13]

Hi,
I want to use scatter for my trees/plants, they are vrayproxies already, but if I use MAXes scatter it will make a new object with all the scatter elements in it. Is there anyway to use scatter and vrayproxy for this? Other than manually instance trees.

Thanks

do a search for proxypainter

You can also buy this one : http://www.rendering.ru/index.php/plugins/vrayscatter/
Seems a little bit expensive for me .... it's just my opinion

bye

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Both interesting, although, yes vrayscatter seams expensive. Especially since Chaos guys will probably make a better "free" version for us vray users. I'll try proxypainter.

There's no evidence to suggest this at all! In case people are getting their hopes up..

There is already a scatter plugin that works fine with proxies, and most of the features of the icube plugin. And it's free.

It was made for max4 originally, but still works in 2008+ and is still better than any other scatter plugin made since.

I'll try this one too. Seams good.

Well, it seems not to load in MAX 9 or 2009..... at my place

I was using it fine in max 9 x64...

Which one did you get, the max 4 or max 6 version?

edit: see attachment. Rename the file to .dlu and drop in your max/plugins folder.

You can use also a script called advanced painter:

take a look at the comments, there is a update for new versions of max.
