Question about some complicated update:)
Hi atanasbak:)
Thank You for fast answer:)
I don't want to force myself upon You...It's rather my dream or little proposal:) but maybe in next few months (maybe some new year 2013 update? :) ) is possible to add very advanced function to pruning trees? I suppose that is very hard to do that:( But time to time some trees are staying very,very close to wall or fences...maybe is possible to add option (in some next months) to PICK OBJECT (some simple box or other simple mesh) and give a script info where branches should be added to the trunk (and option for some percentage of margins how strong pruning should be - script should use 100% volume of picked object or less).
Thank You in advance! I'm still so impressed that so complicated stuff is released fo free:)

Hi Hris
Hi Hris,
Thanks for you feedback.
I'll see what can be done for percentage of each material ID :)

Is possible to add this feature?
First - Thank You very much for every second of Your work to create this script:) i made with ATree3D many,many trees (shared via http://3dtreexchange.net/).
If it's possible - can you add ONE option for leaves? I try to describe it:
In most often situation i'm trying to use only one level of LEAVES. But i'm using a multimaterials for them. And in situation when i have one level of leave and multimaterial - i can assign some material for example from number 3 to 6 as a LEAVE materials. But is possible to add one options to put some percentage chooice - if i want assign submaterial Nr.03 to 30% of leaves, Nr.04 to 50% fo leaves and submaterial Nr.06 to 10% of leaves. Maybe in future You'll find some piece of time for many other new features:)
Thank You very much for Your hard work.

Not for now
Not for now.
In my tests with 30-40k separate max objects script and max viewport get really slow.

Does this happen to all trees
Does this happen to all trees or only this one?
if you send me the tree in .at3d file I'll check for this error.

I have a problem with one of
I have a problem with one of my trees in fact with the uvw coordinates when I built it. in preview it's ok, but if I click "build" then it messes up, but only on the first level of branches, the others are ok.
see attachment.
thanks, themaxxer
Yes you can keep existing
Yes you can keep existing ID's - just enter zeros for "MatID From-to" values.

I thought it is to diffucult.
I thought it is to diffucult. :)
but I am a fan of automated things like growIVY from guruware and cebas xFrog for cinema (which I haven't tried, because I love max)
you guys did a very good job with this script and it's as simple as iPhone. :)
best regards
