MCG Arrange Objects

Version:

Date Updated:

Arrange objects (any) into rows/cols/layers.

ver 1.01: added Ring arrangement

ver 1.02: added Triangle/Pyramid

Please be careful in this mode as 'leftovers' maybe in amongst your heap of objects, so it is best to deactivate, move all your objects away from Origin, then Reactivate and do another pattern.

ver 1.03: added some Balls to this.....well...cannonballs stack arrangement that is...

3ds Max Version Requirement: 
2016
Other Requrements: 
2016 + SP3 + EXT1/2, 2017

Hướng dẫn sử dụng

Chào bạn,

Plugin mình đã cài vào max 2018. Tuy nhiên dù đã xem clip nhiều lần vẫn không thể hiểu cách sử dụng. Bạn có thể hướng dẫn rõ hơn không? Cảm ơn bạn!

not a modifier...

for any MCG graph, look at the Output node on the far right, if it says:

- modifier - it is a modifier obviously
- geometry - it creates a mesh, found in create panel>geometry, usually category MCG or user category (Vu)
- shape - it creates a spline, found in create>shape. Again usually MCG...or user category
- controllers - found in motion panel or other like material editor...

so even tho this creates a spline, it is just for the icon, this MCG actually MOVES other objects. Works for both 2016/17

Yes, you are right.

Yes, you are right.

I did not found the appropriate place to post this post.

But, I think, all MCG lovers are reading your posts anyway.

Your posts are Milestones for MAX community.

Thank you very much for all your efforts.

Sincerely,

AaronZ

ah ok...

I think this deserves its own post that's all...otherwise ppl are going to miss it...cos they might not think of searching for 'Arrange Objects' when looking for MCG utilities/compounds
