Feeding FP directly with data by script
« on: June 17, 2024, 11:28:09 pm »
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to dirrectly feed FP with data (position,rotation,scale of items) by script. Something like reference distribution mode but withoud it. I have over 12k items to scatter and reference mode becomes really slow after 10k items :/
Thanks for any tip

In the 'Custom Edit' mode, an interface named 'trees' is accessible via MaxScript. You can use the following functions for these purposes (you can check all available functions with showinterfaces($)). However, please note that performance may vary when operating with many items:

Code: [Select]
$.trees.create
$.trees.setPosition
$.trees.setRotation

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
