Scripts for Forest Pack

[Rokas]

A script that sets Display > Viewport to
* Mesh
* Proxy
* Points-cloud

Please use included  ForestPack lister for this.


edit:
Also this script seems to work (thank You for edit Haider)

for obj in selection do if (classof obj == Forest_pro) then obj.vmesh = 0

I know there are other ways than scripting to do what I ask for, but the script will act much faster than first opening a UI and then making choices. So I went with this solution and thank you very much for your help (I switched out the Railclone_Pro to Forest_Pro to make it work

But this one doesn't work for Forest Pack, does it? Have you tried? (I haven't tried it)

Thank you very much Paul, that script saved me lot of time yesterday.

Everyone sharing script like you are heroes. At one moment in one place, you're one artist's best friend.

InstancesToForest



This script looks in the scene to find instances of the objects in Forest Pack's item list. When it finds them they're added to FP, matching the position, rotation and scale.

To use this script:
- Create a new FP object
- Add an object/s to Forest Pack's items list, these are the things with instances in the scene that you'd like to convert to FP geometry.
- Change to Tree Editor mode
- With the FP object still selected, press Instance To Forest.

Here's a video of it working

Note that this is an early version. At the moment the Forest Pack object must be at the world origin (the script changes this automatically though). I'd also like to add the ability to append the instances (at the moment it overwrites the current scatter),an option to automatically find instanced objects and add one of them to the items list (great for automatically converting large scenes), and an option to delete the original instances once added to FP.

I hope it's useful for some people.

Many thanks!

Paul.

Does this still work with the latest Forest Pack? I've placed Instances of Xref Objects with object paint. When using this script it adds the right amout of instances to the forest pack but they are all at the same position (first instance placed).

I found Surface and Object Assigment but can`t see Area Assignment?

Select Dependent objects.

Usage:
Select Your ForestPack Pro / RailClone Pro objects(can be mixed among other items) and running this script will add dependent objects to Your selection:


edit updated to make it work faster if max is Modify Tab.

Hello,

Can anyone help us with a script that replaces the VRayMultiSubTex into the Forest Color for all slots, not just for Diffuse?

Thanks!

Hi guys - it would be super awesome if you could change all forest pack display to a specific prpxy type - ie thin box.

Also, is it possible to include or provide a script to change all selected forest pack assinged surfaces to 'AUTO'

Cheers

Hi.
See attached. This script works on selected forestPack objects. If none is selected then on all ForestPacks in the scene.
Hopefully. Please test it.

Beautiful - very happy - thanks so much.

Hey Rokas

That is awesome!  Excellent!

Can i make a request if possible?  I would love it if you could select multiple forest packs and then exclude (or include) a spline from all thos eselected multiple forests if that makes sense?
