Hi, do you think you could give me a rundown on how to do this in Vue and then put it into max please?

Just looking for a little bit of help, I didn't find the particle flow way of making a growing tree animation very realistic. Thanks

Hi Bro! First get a copy of VUe 7 sxtream. it works like a native 3ds max plugin. i used vue 6 for this animation and i had a hard time doing it. with vue 7 you can see Vue objects as you manipulate them inside 3ds max itself. NO need to import anything.

hope that helps.

Did you create this inside 3d max, or did you use Vue standalone?

I'm playing abit with the standalone, but feel I don't really have so much control as I'm used to when modelling in maya (units and sizes of terrain etc)

I'm a mac user too:)

I created it inside VUE and rendered it in 3ds max. It's hard to do it in max, even Vue 7 which works as a plugin in max, its still quite hard to animate plant growth.

@skellingas7 There is a plugin for max, it shouls install with the vue. Newer versions of Vue let you render either with mental ray or vray, older use vue renderer inside 3ds max

looks more like scaling trees from vue with keyframes rather then real growth of the plant. Nonetheless good simulation and seems like a nice eyecatchy trick that might work with some projects.

can u tell me please how to make vue render in 3ds max? Maybe in max it's shorter time to render? How to export all scene with textures and import in max? Thanks for tha answer!

Thanks mate, I'll give it a go and see how it turns out.
