Convert to MultiScatter

Hello, I don't know where to find it after installation

This script is not installed. To use it select the objects you want to convert and drag and drop the script's file onto your 3ds Max viewports.

Thank You for the script!

Hi Pixamoon,
The goal of the following suggestions is to keep the right orientation (=rotation)* of scatter objects and avoid their overlapping
Would it be possible:
1/ istead of small planes use small lines (of 5cm**). It'd be nice if they had thickness of say 40cm.
2/ Multiscatter should use 'Regular pattern' insted of Random one.
3/ Generate and Receive collisions is ON (>/= 100%)

*Important in majority of cases (ArchViz)
** Given dimentions are rather suitable for exteriors

Hi 1rv,

1. Not sure why small lines are better then small planes - could yo explain more ? (and not sure if small lines will keep proper scale of the objects)

2. it should already use "Regular pattern" - at least in MultiScatter version I use here - which version do you use ?

3. Collisions, should be off - you right - will add that.

Best,
Pixamoon

Thanks for reply. Its v.1.060 max2017 win10.

Hi, it should be fixed now - please try new version v0.40

Best,

Hi,

Let me which version of multiscatter do you use ? Will take a look on it.

maxscript filein exeption here (v.1.060 (max2017 win10)):
--Unknown property: "Pattern _Channel" in $Multiscatter_005

useful script thank you for making it.
if you can make another one convert (instances to forest) will be good also.
thanks in advanced.

Hey, thanks, yes will try to do that.

MultiScatter is undefined in my machine.

-- Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined 

Hey, Which version of MultiScatter do you have installed ?

Wow!! Great tool!!! So useful!!
Is there any way to make it work in max 2010?
It returns me an error Unknown property: "ScatterObjectsNodeList" in
$MultiScatter:MultiScatter_01

Well, it seems that isn´t able to create the multiscatter object, so it won´t find the properties because the multiscatter doesn´t exist.
What should I change for it to work?

Hi, Let's try to fix it.

1. Which version of Multiscatter do you have installed ?

2. Can you turn on Script Listener and enable recorder. Thank just create multiscatter and ad any object on the list of objects to scatter. Please send me last lines from Script Recorder

yes its working , i like the way u did it great out of the box thinking.
thanks for helping getting my idea come to life :D

you're welcome :)

I used to do it many times manually to control MulitiScatter objects precisely.
So was easy to just transfer it to script :)
