Additional curve support?

Post by toast »

Hi,

I found in Maya you can combine curves under one node.

Is it possible for VRayScatter to support it please?

Multiscatter is able to use multiple curves for 3DS Max and it would be fantastic if it would work for Maya.

In case it helps, here is the procedure to combine curves;

Obviously first select multiple curves in scene and run this script to combine them.

Code: Select all

global proc combineCurvesUnderTransform(){
string $selCurves[] = `ls -sl`;
makeIdentity -apply true -t 1 -r 1 -s 1 -n 0;
select -deselect $selCurves[0];
pickWalk -d down;
select -add $selCurves[0];
parent -r -s;
select -r $selCurves[0];
}
combineCurvesUnderTransform;

I don't mean to be rude, but was this possible at all?

It would be a very, very useful feature. Defining gardens and plants into specific areas for instance would save an incredible amount of time. Thank you.
