Description

 

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!

Any update planned for 3DsMax 2015?

Midge_S · 2015-08-20

Hey,

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

I'll have a look

Midge_S · 2014-02-21

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.

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 :)

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.

Midge_S · 2013-10-21

That does make more sense, thanks!

MAXScript FileIn Exception

Hi, firstly thanks for taking the time to share, the results shown here look amazing! Unfortunately, I'm having an issue:
Rorschach Error
I have dropped the script into Max & gone Script > Run Script, and both throw up the same error
Can you help?

I'm using Max 2014

Midge_S · 2013-10-08

Hmm, I'll have to take a look at it.
This could take a while, but I'll definitely check out what's going on!

Should work now

Midge_S · 2013-10-09

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

artkitekt · 2013-09-20

Excellent progress Midge! Here's an experiment made with Rorschach

Midge_S · 2013-10-08

That looks wicked, thanks for sharing!

Is this still available?

birket · 2013-07-31

I can't seem to get the link to work. Looks like fun. Any chance of posting a new link?

Link

Midge_S · 2013-08-01

Yeah, just checked it and it's working on my end.
Right-click it and use to "Save link as..." option.

Cool Title

Jann · 2013-07-22

Awesome script!
Naming is perfect! :D
+1 on suggestion to being able to apply it to existing objests :)

Congrats!

Yusuf_ES · 2013-07-22

Midge good experiment.

But must be growth.
-Run script for selected object.
and find good script name. :) Maybe "modifiers harmony" or "abstract object creator".

artkitekt · 2013-07-18

Midge - Great idea, badass name, beautiful presentation and very fun to play with. We need more weird shit in Max!

Midge_S · 2013-07-21
