objects along a spline with different heights of the vertices.
« on: September 11, 2012, 07:26:24 PM »
Is it possible to align objects along a spline if the spline has a curve or different heights of the vertices.?

Yes, switching to Custom Edit mode and using Tree Editor->Creation Tools->Along a path:

Thanks.

Why is it that the number of objects got low after I pushed "create" folow path.

Before I used the follow path (custom edit) the bushes was aligned close to each other the hole way around the spline. ?

I get an error message with forest pack trying to render the image after aligning the objects.

See error message here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f4mlhr87qsbsbem/error.PNG

Strange issue, for some reason Vray cannot generate the instances of the Forest object.

Does it happen only with those items ? What Max and VRay version do you use ?

Please, try to reproduce the problem in a separate scene, and send us the files to support@itoosoft.com. We will check it.
