MCG Arrange Objects

Submitted by vusta on Sat, 2016-06-11 23:10

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.

MCG Edge Length Display

Submitted by vusta on Thu, 2016-04-28 18:20

This MCG displays edge length of visible edges in your mesh. Will also work for spline, as in straight segments, ie. not the curve of a circle

ver 1.01: added unit display...with chicken foot symbol for feet...well it's my MCG and I can do whatever I want..

ver 1.02: added miles and kms

MCG Stitches

Submitted by vusta on Tue, 2015-12-29 21:34

I've decided to make this MCG available for FREE. If you appreciate my effort, you can buy my SweepDreams which works in full 3D here:

https://gumroad.com/candyshop

Create stitches along a path (multicurves supported). You are welcome to use the free variant Path Constraint but this has a few more controls.

ver 1.01: added Double Stitch option

Cloner 2D

Submitted by ex3qtor on Tue, 2015-05-12 06:17

Two dimensional clone modifier with random position offsets, random local rotations and random MaterialIDs.

Use to create tiles of any sort.

Known bugs:

- Local rotations and random rotations don`t work together very well

Release info:

- 1.0

Now you can define what angle to use for snapping in random rotation.

All features work in both dimentions.

- 0.96

MCG SimpleWeave

Submitted by vusta on Fri, 2015-06-26 02:41

This MCG creates a weave pattern.

Thanks to har1sf0x who wrote the h_flipNormals compound !!! came in handy.

Ver 1.01.00: Added logic for seamlessness if to be bent into a tube. So when you bend so that the top meets the bottom (and Welder added) it will be seamless. Also added Skew options just for finer adjustments.

MCG 32BitPatternMaker

Submitted by vusta on Mon, 2015-11-23 00:52

This MCG allows you to make tileable geometries. Works on just about anything that has a Tesselate on it.

(The 32Bit refers to 32 Tris you can use to form a pattern. It does not impose restrictions on your software version or op system, you need at least Max 2016 that is...)

Updated Ver 1.01: compacted boxes, added Tile Mode

Ver 1.02: checkboxes are now buttons, also added a few more patterns...check out latest video.

MCG Clone On Verts

Submitted by vusta on Wed, 2015-07-08 19:05

This MCG will clone on vertices of your emitter object. It will work with/without vert subobject selection and/or soft selection. With soft selection, it will auto scale the clone based on the feathering.

Yes I know it's ANOTHER cloner..but since I've been doing some exercises on MCG vertex stuff, seems a bit of a waste if I don't make something of it...

Ver 1.00.01: added Clone Step

Ver 1.01.00:

- fixed 1 unit offset off the surface

MCG Gear Rotation

Submitted by vusta on Fri, 2015-12-11 16:28

This MCG allows you to create gear rotation based on a Master object that has Euler RotationController. Note: this is found in the Motion Panel.

Ver 1.01: changed Axis spinners to radio buttons X, Y, Z. Pls note: if you prefer to use this version, your current gears will have their Axis off by 1, ie. you'll have to reassign them to Z most likely.

MCG Honeycomb

Submitted by vusta on Tue, 2015-06-23 03:49

This MCG creates a honeycomb structure.

Pretty sure you don't need a video for this one. It will appear in Create Panel, not Modifier.

Love bees people, without them who's gonna polinate your plants for you ?
