After upgrade to last service
After upgrade to last service pack for 3dsmax 2018 I cant use Zorb anymore, it just opens and close directly and says Bye in maxscript. I had this problem on a other pc a couple of years ago, is there any solution for it?
Hey Strob, Sorry for the
Hey Strob,
Sorry for the delay! I had a look at the point cache modifier in Max 2017 and the last entry called "fileCount" is the one you are looking for. Set to 0 for "One File" and to 1 for "One File Per Frame"
Haha, Thanks Strob!! Yeah,
Haha, Thanks Strob!!
Yeah, Houdini is the way to go :D
I dont use max theses days but happy to update Modifier Zorb with your suggestions.
The most useful max script ever!
Thank you so much Jordan for this script. This the most useful for 3ds max. Without it max is nothing!!! I use it since years and will stop use it only once I finally master Houdini! I always discover more and more useful stuff that your script can do like helping to batch point cache animated mesh.
One suggestion: in the point cache modifier we can't select the option of 1 file by frame or a single file. Could be useful to add it.
thanks a lot!
Well if you think about it,
Well if you think about it, the script is working perfectly in the above description. You have just offset your boxes in the x position, so it seems like you are doing relative moves but infact you are not. It's only when you randomise the X again that you remove the x move you have applied to one of the boxes.
I have been meaning to have the random number applied in a few different ways, like add/mult etc but that would require a massive re write that I cant commit to right now.
I would say add a list controller and add a second bezier float to hold the offset you want to maintain. Then use zorb to randomise the Position_XYZ. Dosent seem to touch the non default bezier float on the list controller
Zorb works in Max 2018 to randomize seeds but not perfect
It works! I figured it out and I can't believe that I can randomize the seeds for so many objects so easily!
But...there is a problem with the the script when I try to modify the POSITION_XYZ controller.
1) Create a box, make two copies as instances
2) Run the Zorb script and double click on the Controllers/Position XYZ
3) Hit the "R" for either the Y or Z position. Each box is now randomized in the Y or Z position relative to its original position. Hitting the "R" re-randomizes the position of each box relative to the original position.
4) Here is where the problem occurs...Hit the "R" for the X position and all three boxes move to the same place, overlapping each other, instead of moving relative to their original positions.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Yes, you can go to the
Yes, you can go to the Controllers Tab, select the position noise in the list and hit Get Properties. In the list you should be able to find the seed property, hit the 'R' button to the right to randomise the value.
I havent got max 2018 installed so have not tested it. I will try to do this soon
