GrowFX

GrowFX - a system for modeling and animation of vegetation for 3ds Max.
GrowFX allows to create broadleaf, coniferous and palm trees, flowers and any other compositions of plant origin. Unique mechanisms of construction allow you to create curly plants, braiding any objects of the scene, cropped plants of any shape. Plants can take the form of any spaces, skirting the surrounding objects.

GrowFX Fully integrated into 3ds Max, so almost all parameters can be animated, so there is the possibility of creating wind animation, plant growth, etc., and there is also access to parameters via MAXScript.

Main features of GrowFX:

• GrowFX Is a plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max, which allows you to build various types of objects (mostly plants).
• GrowFX Works in 3ds Max 9 ... 2017 (32/64-bits).

Creating the most realistic trees
GrowFX allows you to create the most realistic trees, thanks to the use of special technology Meta mesh. Using Meta mesh, you can easily combine the trunk and branches into a single surface, with smooth transitions between them. Also, Meta mesh allows you to create tree trunks of any, quite complex shape.
Creation of grass and forest tracts
One object GrowFX Allows to build not only one plant, but also a group of plants of one kind by their respective distribution: - or at the specified (starting) points;
- either from the surface of an object.
Moreover, when distributed from the surface, the values ​​of some parameters can be regulated by texture maps, for example, the density of appearance of plants, or their growth, etc.
Creating climbing plants in GrowF Direction modifier Object reaction direction Will allow you to create any kinds of climbing plants by way of the Reflection / Magnetic reaction to other objects in the scene. Also by means of Reflection it is possible to create plants enveloping various obstacles, or plants placed in enclosed spaces. Creating sheared plants Direction modifier Object slice direction Will allow you to create sheared plants of any shape. In this case, you can use both standard forms: plane, box, sphere, from the help objects of the Exlevel category, and use the shape of any other geometric object of the scene. Animation in GrowFX Almost all parameters, you can animate, and create at the same time any animation of plants: growth, wind, etc. Use also the mechanisms of influences Affects , through which it is possible to influence some parameters on others, and thus, to spare yourself from unnecessary animation settings. For example, you can create a dependence of the length of branches from the height of the trunk, and also depending on the length of the branches - the length and width of the leaves, and then, animating the height of the trunk, you can create a full animation of the growth of the plant.
