noober Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Well I'm in the process of using hair to create foilage. So far so good. Now I need to model a vine. I was thinking of using splines to simulate the vine. can i use a single spline as an emitter?" One more question... Can an emmited object be given more flex points like an emmited streak?

C-grid Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 can i use a single spline as an emitter?" Yes, when you use the 'Shag Emitter', sometimes refered to as 'the old hair-system' but when using the newer 'Hair System', you need surface(patch(es)). You probably want the 'Hair System' for foliage use, but I don't know which planet you're going to dress-up Can an emmited object be given more flex points like an emmited streak? If you mean splinage-density, yes. Else if you mean more than one material, 'like another e.g. streak-material', yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewar12345 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I would not use hair to model a vine. Try using the plugin sweeper. You will have better results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clonewar12345 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Sorry. My bad. I guess i read it to fast. Still i would advise using the plugin sweeper if you want to model any type of vine. There is a good tutorial on the sweeper site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
