This is a simple 3ds max script. It creates random blob like objects. Good for creating simple rocks. Have fun.
http://rapidshare.com/files/169735205/Blob_Gen.ms.html

To run this, in 3ds max click on the top were it says "MAXscript" then click "Run script". Then browse for the "Blob_gen.ms" file you downloaded and you will see a your blob appear on screen.

Have fun with your blobs...

Hah! Very, Very unique! Awesome tool bro.

Not really. I am actually working on a tool for animated water. The script will create a plane with a user inputed amount of segments. The application will then create the plane and rig each vertice to its own bone. It will then move each bone up and down randomly by a user inputed value.

Interesting. Don't see much use for it, unless you feel like making random blobs. Which can be done using particle systems spawning metaparticles...

<3 I can see my self using this tool for organic objects

Awesome

Sauce.

Oh thanks! I need this for some cloth I am trying to animate correctly. :/ Not to mention how to get the water to act like Halo 3. Like when you put a box in the water, the water will go around.

N.D.T. Tides of War Concepts and Models: 3.5% Done

N.D.T. Tides of War Plot: 25% Done

N.D.T. Tides of War Textures: None yet. Still working on Schemes and such.

Deehunter Thanks alot it works great whats your xfire?

Could you release a rock tag pack?

what do you mean a rock tag pack you jsut want me to make some rock tags for you in different shapes and sizes dude listen i can just make you anything in scnery if it's not too hard like a girraffe can't do but rocks and some other stuff i can do so here i will get started right away and give you a link and upload to halomaps k give me like 10-20-30 minutes to get finished

Anyone can pretty much do rocks. Its the textures that are a pain.

I know




EDIT: It will be a little bit later than i said i have to do homework.

needs an UI, owai..

:O

:D

<3 I love you barby!

rapid share is the biggest piece of poo ever. it says the file can only be downloaded 10 times because it is a stupid site that wants money to host files and because you dont have an account on there or something like that. bad rapid share.

How about a comment on the tool its self?

Add smoothing features, side count , and general radius.

? D:

Use Reactor (physics engine included in Max). You can make realistic acting water with it. Look for some tutorials...

i would like that you can choose if it will make flatter bottom, though. easyer for placing on the ground.

lol^

Make an app that creates a BSP at a click of a button :D

agree. would save me time when trying to make cliffs wihout messing up the whole map.

Any chance you can put the file up again, can't download :/

Actually its alot better.

Slightl better?! Gmax cant even render! 3Ds max is way better then gmax is every way.

This.

gee how about a link that i can actually download the tool at so i can give a comment on the tool itself. seriously...

Copy this into a text file.



Rename it: blob gen.ms
Start the script in 3ds Max, and it will make the rock/blob.

it doesnt even work in 3ds max *cries* is it because im using max 9? please help I WANT BLOBS! lol

Download the file from rapidshare, the thing in the code tags is the structure of the script, to do similar stuff.
