a question about 3ds Max plugin or script

[COLNAGOBOY]

Does anyone know if there are any max plugins or scripts which allow distribution of the multiple objects on a terrain surface in one shot, like Sketchup's Drop script?

 

Thanks in advance

Multiscatter is good, shich is a commercial plugin. Scatter object in Max is good too.

Forest pro or K lite is also good...by default max have a scatter option in compound object....

Check Glue from Itoo.

+1 for Forest Pro, Forest Light can only do flat objects and limits you to only 3 objects you can scatter, which may not work well for terrain.

 

If you don't want to spend any money, you can paint them on your terrain with advanced painter in max. You could also achieve this with a particle system. There are quite a few ways to achieve this with the tools inside max.

If you simply want to drop objects to the ground that are already scattered/distibuted then I would use Soulburn's ObjectDropper script.

Neil's website is currently offline (at least the scripting part).

Is it? This link works for me: http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_tools/soulburnscripts/soulburnscripts.htm

 

Maybe he moved it around?

 

But, yeah, the object dropper script is pretty fantastic as wel.
