TerrainAxe-Create

2 votes

TerrainAxe-Create tools work on a polygon object and are used to create new faces or structure.

Because it is very hard to  describe so many tools of TerrainAxe in a single post,so they will be introduced by category in different posts.

The most recommended features in "Create" category as below:

StitchPoly:Create new faces between borders and  is ofen used to patch the gap between roads and terrain.

Spline Terrain

Here is a little fun script: Create a spline terrain and add the terrain modifier plus some displacement.

 

Simply drag and drop it to the viewport

SplineTools

2 votes

Simple tools for working with splines in 3dsMax.

These tools includes:

  • -Selection filtering *Select only closed *Select only open 
  • -Clean up *Convert to spline and perform overlapping points weld.
  • -Close all *Close all splines
  • -Set points to corner/smooth/bezier/bezierCorner *Sub-object level sensitive
  • -Select by length *Select and sort splines by input length
  • -Sort *Detach open splines
  • -Explode *Explode shape object to splines (not segments)
  • -VArranger *Arrange selected splines by input z values and optionaly create a surface. Used to create terrain from drawing.

Rock Generator by Poly Design 3D

2017 version

Rock Generator Script for 3dsMax

This script generates procedural random shaped rocks both low poly and highpoly.
Lowpoly mesh matches perfectly with highpoly mesh so you can easily bake normal map from highpoly to lowpoly.
Lowpoly mesh is automatic relaxed uvw mapped.
Lowpoly mesh uvs are bake ready.
Lowpoly mesh has clear non-overlapping uvs.
You can change advanced parameters or you can simply click "random seed" then click "generate detailed rock" it will give totally different results.

Slope Analysis

2 votes

This script will analyse the slope of different regions of an object such as a terrain by computing the angle between the face normal and a specified vector direction (default: z-axis). You can adjust the displayed colour ranges by changing the range min and max values as well as the steps between the colours. The script uses a multilateral to assign different material IDs to each face based on its angle calculation.

PlaceMesh

PlaceMesh:

Directly embed single-side polygon in terrain.

The tool work on Editable polygon objects. Keep terrain being selected and pick another polygon surfaces is OK.

Note that:

Poly Stitch tools

1 vote

     

       The Stitch tools  work on editable polyon object ,and create new faces between selected open edges(borders),which are mainly used to connect roads and terrain.

      In this update,stitch algorithm has been improved and enhanced,error probability is reduced greatly,no longer need to clear jags of borders but final triangluation is much better.

Needed Tools:

MoveVerts:similar with conform Compound object,but easy and more free.

SmoothRoad(blur),SmoothRoad(linear):Make road have a smooth transition between different elevation,meanwhile keep cross-section level.

  • Fixes an issue with subdividing splines that create too many vertices
  • Fixes a bug that causes polysitch,quickStitch and placemesh stop working when dealing with vertices fewer than 100.
  • Add a missing arrow of Straight + Right for TrafficlineSys.
