Guruware Ivy Generator for V0.976b 3ds Max 2010 - 2018 Categories: Plug-ins » 3ds Max The Ivy Generator is one of those plugins which adds immense value to your work, yet it doesn't cost you a dime.
Most of the addons for max are either a plugin or a maxscript, The reason i decided to use a mixture of both was first simplicity and second I hate when i open an old project that used a plugin that is no longer available, So this plugin/script combo does not leave any trace it just creates simple geometry.
The plugin does all the hard work that is the actual ivy growing and generation of the meshes, The maxscript part is just the user interface, The Materials and the Corona scatter creation.

Roots Generation
Seed Location: Press this button to set the seed location. It will create a point helper were you want the ivy to grow from. Once you click it will try to find the closest objects around and select it as the Climb object, But it might not select the one you want if there are several near by so pay attention to the Climb Object Button it will show the name of the found object.
This helper will be deleted once you exit the interface.
Climb Object: In case the script chose the wrong object or you want to select another you can use this button to set the new Climb Object.
Forces Parameters
Primary Weight: Weight for the primary grow vector
Random Weight: Weight for the random influence vector
Gravity Weight: Weight for the gravity vector Bohemia punjabi rapper mp3 free download.
Adhesion Weight: Weight for the adhesion vector. How much it sticks to the surface.
Settings
Ivy Search Size: How far the algorithm searches for the next intersection of the ivy on the mesh, Smaller numbers result in higher resolution path but also gets much slower. Depending on the climb object you might need to change this value. This influences the grow behavior.
Branching Probability: The probability of producing a new ivy root per iteration. Smaller numbers produces a more dense ivy.
Branch Parents: Number of parents per branch.
Vector Influence: Influence the Direction of the overall ivy.
Max Floating Length: Download free government program oversight software. Maximum length of an ivy branch segment that is freely floating.
Max Adhesion Distance: Maximum distance for adhesion of climb object.
Distance Reduction Factor: If you don't want the ivy to be so dense you can use this factor so the branches don't grow so close to each other. 0 Disables this effect.
Max Floating Variation: Varies the length of an ivy branch segment that is freely floating.

Avoid Starting at the same Point: Avoids growing more then one branch from the same position.

Leaves
Leaf Probability: The probability of creating a new ivy leaf.
Ivy Leaf Size: Size of the leaf mesh.
Leaf Material ID: Range of materials ID to be used.
Leaves Type: The leaves can be regular Meshes or Corona Scatter if corona is installed and as default render.
Leaf Density: Is a multiplier for the generation of leaves.
Installation:
There is no setup you simply copy the files to the correct locations.
The macro (.mcr) is not needed, But is handy since you can put it on a menu or toolbar.
3Dsmax can have the macros/scripts in different locations depending on how the useUserProfiles is setup in the file InstallSettings.ini.
