amer abidi Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm working on a large landscaped scene and have to place a lot of MR proxies manually following the landscape design. At the moment, I'm shift Cloning the proxies one my one and its taking ages since ive got thousands of trees to place. Is there a way (or plugin) that could make my life easier by picking an instance and then just clicking away wherever i want it placed? And if not, is there a way that i can just shift clone without picking "instance" from the cloning option after each clone is made? I am aware of Scatter and tee Spacing tools, and have used them extensively in this project, So please for the purposes of the answer assume that i HAVE to place these instances by manually clicking where i want them. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Beaulieu Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Use the Object Paint Tool in the Graphite Modeling tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francisco Penaloza Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) If you have the landscaping CAD you can use clone and align tool on Max then select each type of tree and replace with your proxy. Graphite tool is good but if you have massive amount of proxies Max get ver laggy, if so other scatter tool is recommended, such multi scatter or Forrest pack Edited June 4, 2013 by fco3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
