Title: Using Forest Pack to Scatter on Point Clouds from Other DCCs
Post by: scuhfed on August 22, 2024, 07:59:08 pm

Is it possible to have a point cloud from another DCC such as Houdini, and scatter geometry on those points? For example, If I have a grain simulation from Houdini. Is it possible for me to use Forest Pack to scatter sand grains on these points with random rotation, distribution, etc?

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm afraid this isn't currently possible unless you can convert your points clouds into a particle system like PFlow or TyFlow which can then be used as a source for Forest Pack.

How are you currently importing your point-clouds to Max?

Kindest regards,

Paul
