Title: objects along a spline with different heights of the vertices.
Post by: Martin 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.

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.
