3dsmax and ivy generator query

[chow choppe]

hi all

 

i am trying to create a foliage using ivy generator

its a like a trellis of metal. i exported treelis objects as .obj from max and when i import it in ivy generator i dont know what viewport they align with i mean my trellis are oriented differently and i dont know where i want the ivy to start from

is there any way i can orient them properly so that they align with the trellis that were inside 3dsmax.

 

i hope i am clear.

 

i meani f i try to see the trellis from top in ivy its not placed the same as it was in 3dsmax.

 

thanks

There is an ivy generator script created by Guruware (based on Thomas Luft's original csript) for max, so you can create your ivy from within max wherever you need it.

 

Heres the link and quick tutorial

I've had a look at this pluggin and I think it will be very useful to me. THe problem I found with it was it seems to be set at a cm unit scale and I have my max set at metre unit scale. Is there a way to change this?

you can just adjust the parameters to reflect your scale i.e * or % by 1000 depended on what your converting to

Thanks for your help. I suppose it will just be a case of trial and error.

Still it is an excellent little tool.
