I am sur this was asked several times.

but is there any good working maxscript, tool, for painting hundreds of trees on a ground (mean also vray proxys if possible ? )

i also knew of a script, that positioned random scalled and rotated trees along a path.. nice also for example for streets…

any idea ?

should also work on win 64bit with max9 32 and 64 if available…

greetings,

Tom

You can use the crowd helper with proxies.

It’s close to a scatter with simple object.

Best regards.

Well,

thanks. One more possibillity.

but anything like the advanced painter tool, would be better and easier i think..

Hey Tom.

Also, i do have a toolset, partially developed with joconnell, that does a similar thing: allows planting of trees on an arbitrary “terrain” within a boundary spline. Of course it’s at home with proxies.
It need authorisation, but being still in beta it’ll cost you nothing :slight_smile:
Message me on msn if you want it.

and it does a good job, also with proxies, scale, rotate you name it, very powerfull!

Does it work with Max 9 ???

no idea, use it with max8 without any problems. i think you should just try it.

hi guy´s, thank you all.

lele: i already have seen the advanced painter thing. i allready did use it some time ago, but that was with max7 i think.

a friend of mine tried to use it on max 9 sp1 with windows 64bit, which didnt seem to work.

so ill send you a pivat message for your nice script. if thats allright (dont have msn here at the moment :wink: )

I tried to install it with VIZ 2008, because I used it quite a bit with 2007, but it no longer works.

Advanced Painter does though.
