Macroscript SuperPainter v3.0 demo-version for 3dsmax 2009 (also works in 3dsmax 8, 9, 2008) Lets you distribute objects in certain areas or on the surface of another object (also by diffuse black/white texture). A variety of parameters are adjustable: number, type and weight of source objects, boundary spline, distance between clonings, random transformations and materials. It is possible to save and load script presets. The main purpose of the script, for which it was created - distribution of tree models on various surfaces and areas. Installation: 1. Copy file SuperPainter_v3.0.mcr and folder SuperPainter to max folder \UI\MacroScripts. 2. Copy files from folder "Icons" to max folder UI\Icons. 3. Run 3dsmax, go to Customize\Customize User Interface\Toolbars, and create new toolbar. 4. Select "ScriptAttack" from Category list and drag label "SuperPainter v3.0" to your toolbar. The button will be created there. If you wish, you may drag the label to any standart toolbar without creating you own toolbar. New Feature: Fill Map Tool Workflow: 1. Add source objects to the list. 2. Set Min and Max values. (2.0 and 5.0 by default) 3. Pick Base object. Material with diffuse bitmap texture or procedural texture such as Cellular, Checker, etc. should be applied to the base object. Tiling by material is supported. 4. Press Fill Map button. The new rollout floater with curves will be appeared. 5. Press Solve Texture Points to define clones positions on the base. 6. Density - percentage of clones by appropriate color. Scale - Scale of clones by appropriate color. Scale is relative value: if 100% then object scaling is unchanged, if 50% then current scaling is half-decreased. Adjust curves as you wish. 7. Press Place Clones button to create clones (You don't need to resolve clones positions with Solve Texture Points button. Press it again only if you set new values to the min and max spinners.) 8. Look at the tooltip below gradient stripes to keep in mind quantity of the clones. 9. You can break solving or placing processes by ESC button. 10. Use checkboxes to set orientation of clones and start placing process automatically after solving. If you find any errors in Fill Map Tool, please mail to building-building@yandex.ru 1acc
