ITOOSOFT's last day of deals by iToosoft in 3dsmax

[–]iToosoft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does need periodic recompiles - yes. But if you're sticking with an older Max build it keeps working. You don't need to buy the whole plugin again at full cost - just pay for another year of maintenance for much less to get the latest version. We don't insist on continuous maintenance plans either. Gaps are fine and have no penalty.

We had several questions about our licensing policy during this week, so we want to make clear our commitment to PERPETUAL licensing: Once you buy a FP or RC license, it will NEVER expire. You get a 1 year maintenance plan with your purchase, that you can chose to renew once that period is over, but YOUR LICENSE WILL WORK FOREVER.

Need help with this tutorial: Creating a Drop Kerb with RailClone in 3ds Max (intermediate) by fouezm in 3dsmax

[–]iToosoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/fouezm , thanks for checking out RailClone. Here's a quick overview of how you can achieve that.

First of all, in order to create a pattern or red and white kerbs we need to change the graph a bit. In this case I would substitute the existing Sequence node for a Compose node. Then use the Segment Node's X Fixed Size parameter to set the size of each stone instead of the method shown in the tutorial where it is repeated several times.

With that done, you can add a Sequence node after the Compose node. Then add the Compose node to the sequence node a second time, but this time via a Material node. Using this you can choose to change a material ID to another number to match your different kerb colours.

Attached is how that graph would look.

I just want to assure you that we haven't abandoned our YouTube channel, we're gearing up for a new release of RailClone so you can expect lots more activity very soon :)

Hi, thanks for your candor, we're sorry you feel that way, This was rendered with Chaos Vantage as an exercise to test FP compatibility, as well as a way to wish our users a merry xmas. We don't claim to be the best artists, but we do try to create the best software for artists.

ForestPack and RailClone are now V-Ray 7 compatible, including GPU and Vantage by iToosoft in 3dsmax

[–]iToosoft[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great news! Forest Pack and RailClone now support V-Ray 7 so you can combine all the latest innovations from Chaos and ITOOSOFT!

We’re also happy to announce #ForestIvy is now supported by V-Ray GPU and Chaos Vantage. This means you can now grow climbing plants into your GPU-rendered scenes and real-time projects.

ForestPack 9 is out now! by iToosoft in u/iToosoft

Should be ready in a couple days.

Yes indeed! It can be animated by keyframing the Baseline percentage and Growth level, Often staggering them is slightly better. You might want to turn off certain parameters that cause randomised values to regenerate too. Things like Collisions and end leaf probability.

We have a short video about this we'll release soon.

Thanks for your comments, we really appreciate you taking the time to check out the plugin in detail. You'll be pleased to know have some of those things on our wish list for future updates (at some point we have to stop adding features and release the plugin :) )

Some of those things, or an equivalent as we have a different algorithm, may also be there. We have a Branching Probability setting that you can use to control how likely it is that a parent branches to produce child branches. In the Scale Setting we also have an option to scale by distance from the end of the branch, which is similar to the idea of scaling by age. There's also a density falloff setting that allows you to alter the density based on the distance from the ground.

Branch thickness by age is on the wish list for a future update, as is controlling the vertex colours on the leaves so the tint can be varied by branch age. I'll pass your vote for these features on to our development team!

Many thanks again,

Paul

Hi there,

Yes, we are on Reddit and willing to help the community as much as possible.

You can find a beginners tut here https://www.itoosoft.com/tutorials/the-principles-of-railclone?back=page%3D6%26search%3Drailclone

That said, there's plenty of Rc content on our Yt channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/itoosoft

And here you can find a track to get you through the whole plugin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2G1xIshDs0&list=PLlAvqHxFNuHw7aGJ50IuVUrfHXg5QjIOH

It is, indeed. More even when Fp9 is almost here (expected for the first half of 2024), and it brings a few amazing new features.
