Rorschach 2.5 Interface

Rorschach v2.5 (UPDATED)

This is just a script I threw together as an excersise to teach myself Maxscripting.
It generates random shapes through progressively adding random modifiers.

-- Changelog --

v1.0: Initial Release
v2.0: Added interface to control deformations
v2.1: Code cleanup & Bug fixes, slightly tweaked deformation algorithm for more variance
v2.5: Added Base geometry selector, added progress bar

Installation:

- Run the script in Max.
- Look for the category "DAZE" in the "Customize user interface" section.
- Add the "Rorschach" command to a toolbar / quadmenu.
- Click it and have fun!

Tested in 2013 & 2014, will probably work in most older versions.

Enjoy!

Examples:

Version Requirement: 
2011+ (Lower might work, haven't tested yet)

Hey,

I wasn't aware of the bug in 2015, hopefully I should have some downtime soon to review this and get it fixed!

Any update planned for 3DsMax 2015?

Well, it still works so no

Well, it still works so no biggy - just have to edit script and re-evaluate it before I can use it. Just thought you might like to know

It's quite strange (been trying some more since i posted) - sometimes it'll work on re-boot if I use it on an existing object.. never works if I let it choose obj by random or from the drop down

If I try letting it choose a random object and also randomize the settings I get another error -

"Unable to convert: undefined to type: integer"

Like I said, it's no hardship to just re-evaluate before use.

Cool little script, I likes :)

I'll have a look

Hmm, I'll have a closer look to see if I can replicate the issue.
Unfortunately I don't have Max 2011 to test in, so I'll try and figure out where the problem lies.

Hallo,

having a slight issue -

I can make a button of the script no problems.. if i use it straight away it all works as it should. However, if I close Max and re-open then try, it gets about halfway through and errors -

Maxscript rollout handler error
--No ""/"" function for undefined

If I drag the script back into max after the error, it works again, but always fails on reboot of max

Cool script.
Just a side note, when putting updated in the title, it doesn't help anyone. Put the actual day of when it was updated instead.

Should work now

The new version should behave normally now, the code has been cleaned up a bit.

This could take a while, but I'll definitely check out what's going on!
