Has anyone used GrowFX? Thoughts compared to Onyx Trees?

[quizzy]

Well, I use GrowFX. But I dont use Onyx Tree.

With growfx you can make all the trees directly in 3dsmax and you dont need a seperate program. But trees is not the only thing it does, you can make plants and smaller vegetation as well. Even carpets. Growfx is all poly's, so no slow opacity mapped planes.

The userinterface is something you will have to get use to, and there are no trees that you can load from a library file. Exlevel is working on these two things.

Because of the controlability of growfx it is one of the best tree-plugins for max that I've seen. You can see it as it where a combination of the total onyx tree library, the ivy generator with a lot more extra options.

Does the demo version give a good idea of the programs abilites? if so, I will download it and see how it works.

 

Does it work with Vray and vray proxies?

adding something

[quizzy]

I think the demo version of growfx works with scanline and mental ray only, the full version works with every render engine.

As for proxies, i really dont know, i'm not a vray user. But you can always convert them to meshes and then to proxies I think?
