Parametric modeling using data channel

Parametric modeling in 3Ds Max !!
Did you use Data Channel modifier in 3Ds Max before?
Not lot of people use it but, you should start learning this intuitive modifier it will help you create a huge number of procedural models and animations. You can watch a full tutorial covering the data channel on our KZbin channel link in the bio.
The Data channel works by processing mesh data through a series of operations to achieve various results. You can use it to create parametric transforms, procedural masking, procedural selection and much more!
In this short tutorial you’ll learn how to create this parametric wall design in a very simple way.
Follow these steps :
* create your base model from a box with simple edit poly operations.
* Apply array modifier and increase X count to 15 and Y count to 60, check center option.
* Apply Data channel modifier, click on add operator and drag a Distort to the stack.
* Open material editor, create Osl Noise map and adjust it values to what you see fit.
* Create Osl Range/Remapper map , connect your Noise map to the Range/Remapper input and change its output start to -1.
* Connect Range/Remapper output to the Distort input and increase distort value to 50.
* Add Geoquantize operator after distort.
* Add Components space operator and switch it to Z.
* Add Vertex output and change Replace to Add.
* Adjust the Noise values and distort strength to achieve the result you like.

Data Channel looks like a lot of fun to design with!

Love this! Looking forward for more data channel tutorials, Cheers! 🔥

More to come!

hi, this is a wonderful video. but could you make a longer tutorial video in detail? I can't see your unit for this scene, nor the size of the box was shown either. plus the noise setting is not shown too. much gratitude for the tutorial anyways. hope you can make more of tutorial on 3d max data channel. I can't find many of this tutorial on KZbin. cheers !

Thanks! I’m planning to get more long form content on this topic soon, for now maybe reading the description can help understand more about this topic.

Hi. I wonder how to modeling roof with data channel ? 😮

[@BoundlessBox]

There is a video on the channel explaining this topic

[@vuhung6575]

0:42 how i can do this?

[@BoundlessBox]

You can change the noise phase to move the model

What version 3D Max did it?

[@BoundlessBox]

This is done in 3Ds Max 2023.2 for the array modifier but the Data Channel was probably added from version 2017.

awesome video, help me bro, that array modifier not showing on my 3ds max
