3ds Max Procedural Vines

[@yassine4d]

The wealth of knowledge Paul has contributed to the community is beyond measure. I still remember my first rigging tutorial in 2005 from him and how clearly he explained every step. Thank you so much Paul there aren’t enough words to express my appreciation

[@paulneale]

@yassine4d thank you, and you are very welcome.

[@3dsmaxrocks699]

Really nice. Never really cared for that free ivy plugin so this is how I'm doing it from now on.

[@PandaJerk007]

It's cool we got such robust Conform and Array modifiers. and your procedural setups are super helpful and inspiring!

[@Museisherealways]

This is mind blowing 🤯. Please confirm sir if you are from this world or from future where humans are reached to 80% of their mind use. Thank you so much. You are a Gem 💎. I understand lots of efforts have been put behind the scenes. Thank you again learning a lot from you. ❤❤❤

@tausifkhan2189 you are welcome. However, I'm a high school drop out that has severe dyslexia and was graded to have a grade 2 reading and writing level in grade 9.

@@paulneale no way really how is that possible ?

[@nabilzaghdoudi6028]

Amazing work

[@egogogoriko]

cool! also we can animate growth by additing slice mod to main spline branch

[@paulneale]

Don't even need to do that. Watch my tutorial on the Autodesk channel when it comes out.

[@poison4u]

@@paulneale Which channel?

[@F10F11hm]

This is crazy, you make such a good use of the modifier list I can only admire your skills and creativity! I have a question, do the guys from Autodesk take any suggestions from you? There must be things you feel are needed to improve procedural workflows which you teach? New, specific modifiers or a set of features expanding the exisiting toolset, removing some limitation you consider a bottleneck? Are they open to your suggestions? I feel you'd make a perfect advisor for the development team at Autodesk.

[@paulneale]

Thanks, and yes I have worked with Autodesk and the Max team for a very long time. They are excellent at taking feedback and suggestions from users. You just can't have everything you want all the time as there are a lot of users using Max in so many different ways.

[@EbolaStew]

@@paulneale I'm glad that they listen to you. You are exploiting an area of strength for Max. I use Maya too and like it very much but it cannot match this kind of workflow. Maybe it has other ways to do specific things with MASH or xGen but not in such a fundamental and accessible way as Max does with it's Modifier stack. I wonder if you have any ideas about how to make working with the stack even more accessible and powerful. I learned C4D recently and was struck by how Max could work similarly. With all of its many "explorers" (Layer, Materials, Parenting, etc.), couldn't it have a Modifier Explorer in order to easily see, at a glance, the modifier stack on multiple objects at once in an outline view?

[@paulneale]

@EbolaStew interesting idea.

[@philosoaper]

there was a growing wine with leaves and such in one of the sample files back when 3DSMax was still under the Kinetix brand.. on some stone arc/statue if I remember correctly. Now I'm even more curious how that was done.

[@paulneale]

@@philosoaper good question as few of the tools I'm using were around then. Maybe a plugin?

[@philosoaper]

@@paulneale since it was included with max itself, there were no plugins needed...script maybe..

[@paulneale]

@@philosoaper maybe a free script. Wouldn't have been doing what this is doing then. I don't remember it.
