REQUIREMENTS: Max 2016, 2017
Installation: Scripting, Install Max Creation Graph...
MCG Pattern Maker so you can make tileable geometry. Works on just about any object that has a Tesselate on it. Requires Max 2016...but no need for EXT1, hooray !!! Please watch 1st video (one with 2 red dudes) for usage. The 2nd video (yellow box) is older and is of my early RnD..but it shows how you can apply the same modifier to other objects.
You'll also get the Max template file with ready made patterns above.
Once you are happy with your pattern, it is advisable to (keep copy so you don't lose the pattern) collapse your object as MCG is quite sluggish with high res objects...and don't even try to scrub the timeline...Update: with SP2 applied, scrubbing the timeline is fine now...yes !!!
(The 32Bit refers to 32 Tris you can use to form a pattern. It does not impose restrictions on your software version or op system, you need at least Max 2016 that is...)
Updated Ver 1.01:
- compacted the checkboxes
- added Tile Mode
Updated Ver 1.02:
- checkboxes are now buttons
- added a few more patterns
- video tips
Updated Ver 1.03: (check latest vid)
- No Cutout mode so your mesh remains as one but with different MatIDs
- Allows Relax to go negative
- More patterns, samples
