Description

LSSpirograph was written as a tool to create interesting paths for particle emitters to follow. It was designed as an aid to special fx creation for Soul Forge. The script takes input - either from a drop down list of predetermined shapes - or from the sliders on the UI - and then creates two dimensional spline shapes - much like real SpiroGraphs do. Additionally - an arbitrary number of null points can be path constrained to the resulting shape and animated over time. The null points are recognized as particle emitters by our 3D engine - enabling the artists to make very complex spell effects.

Wow. I didn't realise the download link for this had gone dead

Here's version 1.33. It's updated to install correctly in new Max versions User Access Control safe directories ($userscripts instead of $max\scripts, etc...). Other than that the 14 1/2 year old code works just fine in newer versions of 3ds Max.

I'll contact the site organizer here to get the download link updated.

Probably wouldn't work in later versions of Max anyway.
