Re: MultiScatter 1.3.5.2

I'm having some big problems with this build. Specifically with by-spline distribution. I have a wall that surrounds an ancient city and I am using a few different Multiscatters to distribute thousands of crenelations and other things along the wall by spline, and it takes several minutes to simply ...

Bercon Tile problem

I'm finding that Multiscatter has a problem with the BerconTile map. If you scatter an object that has a material that uses the BerconTile as diffuse (haven't tried it in any other slot yet) it shows up black.

VRayInstancer

Thought you might be interested to know that the new feature in VRay3 SP1 called VRayInstancer renders nearly twice as fast as Multiscatter. My tests involved a forest scene with 20,000 trees. The results were the same whether I used trees that were in the scene or trees that were x-refs. But, if th...

Re: Trailer

Okay, I finally figured it out: Three things are important: 1) While rigging, keep the trailer separate from the car, so that: 2) The MadCar object for the trailer can completely surround the Tongue, and the MadCar object for the car can completely surround the Hitch, without any overlap. 3) The Mad...

Re: Trailer

Just please tell me why the attached file isn't working, and maybe I can figure out how to make it work on the large truck. In your online help it appears that there is a separate MadCar helper for the trailer, but that doesn't seem to help things either.

Re: MadCar 3.026

I'm a little confused. The version that was released last year was 3.3.11c. Isn't that a higher number than 3.026? Or perhaps I have some misconceptions about software development...

Trailer

I am working on an animation that uses a truck almost exactly like this one on your YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ND70nK0A0 I can't seem to make it work, but of course I'm only guessing because there don't seem to be any trailer tutorials available. And the screenshots in the MadCa...
