AvizStudioTools – ATree3D

ATree3D is simple to use 3D plants generator for architectural visualizations. With this script for 3ds max you can create endless types of trees, bushes, shrubs, flowers or grass. You can use it for low or high polygon models with precise control of the level of details on each sub-element. Script works inside of the 3ds max viewport and show instant preview of your changes.

Download & Install

This script works with 3ds max 7 or later. Script is free for commercial and non-commercial projects. You are not allowed to sell or distribute this script or any parts of it. We are not responsible for any damages or incompatibilities that may result by using this script.

Versions :

• AvizStudioTools_ATree3D_v0.25.zip
• AvizStudioTools_ATree3D_v0.25x.zip(Non-English System Language)

Installation:

• Download and unzip the desired version
• From 3ds Max menu select: MaxScript> Run Script …>Run_ATree3D.mse
• If you run script manual you have to run it again with every new 3ds max session to be able to modify your models.
• If you want to load script automatically, copy “AvizStudioTools_ATree3D.mse” file from the archive in 3ds Max root folder\scripts\startup\
• To add a keyboard shortcut or toolbar button go to 3ds Max menu, select: Customize > Customize User Interface… > in “Keyboard” or “Toolbar” tab select Group: Main UI and Category: AvizStudioTools. Assign keyboard shortcut to “AvizStudioTools – ATree3D” from “Keyboard” tab or from “Toolbar” tab drag and drop “AvizStudioTools – ATree3D” to a new or existing toolbar to create UI button for the script (for Windows 7 or Vista you may need to run 3ds max as administrator).

Interface

[Build Tree(s)] Button -With this button, if [Edit->] button is off, you can build multiple trees and each time script will randomly change parameters of the tree base on Variations parameters. To stop building trees, press right mouse button or Escape. If [Edit->] button is on, [Build Tree(s)] Button finishes process of editing and build edited tree.

[Edit->] Button – Use this button to edit your trees. When pressed, script asks user to select position for the preview of the tree. If user select valid position, script builds preview of the edited tree and opens parameters on the right side of the button. When you are ready, press this button again to finish the process of editing.

Main drop-down menu (MDM)- Load parameters from listed tree types. Script do not automatically update selected tree type. To update selected type you have to use [#] Button.

[A] Button – About this script.

[Load] Button – Load trees from file to MDM. (Will be available in v1.0 of the script)

[Save] Button – Save MDM list of trees to file. (Will be available in v1.0 of the script)

[#] Button – Rename/Update selected tree.

[+] Button – Add current settings to the MDM list.

[-] Button – Remove selected tree from MDM list.

[Pick Material ...] Button – Pick material from the scene for the current tree.

VARIATIONS

Seed – Based on this number, all variations of the tree’s parameters are calculated.

Angle – Specify angle variation for user defined angles.

Length – Specify percent variation for the length of user defined elements.

Leaves – Specify percent of Angle and Length values for leaves variations.

Skip – Specify the maximum percent of elements that will be skipped when building the tree.

Rotate – Specify maximum angle rotation of the tree’s trunk.

Scale Next – Specify maximum percent difference between the first and the next built trees when building multiple trees.

COLOR / FILTERS

Colors – Defines wirecolor of trunk, first level branches, next levels branches and leaves.

Edit [S] – Build only two first level branches for the preview to increase preview update speed. This button don’t affect the final tree.

Edit [M] – When on, script applies material on the tree’s preview.

Edit [T] – When on, script generates preview of the trunk.

Edit [F] – When on, script generates preview of the first level branches.

Edit [N] – When on, script generates preview of the next levels branches.

Edit [L] – When on, script generates preview of the leaves.

Build [M] – When on, script applies material to the final tree.

Build [T] – When on, script builds trunk.

Build [F] – When on, script builds first level branches.

Build [N] – When on, script builds next levels branches.

Build [L] – When on, script builds leaves.

Attach [X] – Explode all elements of the tree as separate objects. (Will be available in v1.0 of the script)

Attach [F] – When on, script attaches first level branches to the trunk.

Attach [N] – When on, script attaches next levels branches to the trunk.

Attach [L] – When on, script attaches leaves to the trunk.
GLOBAL PARAMETERS

Trunks -Set the number of the tree’s trunks. Each trunk has it’s own shape and position.

Branch Levels – Set the number of the branches sub levels. Each level has it’s own parameters.

Leaves Types – Set the number of leaves types. Each type has it’s own parameters.

Branch MinRadius – Set minimal radius of the branches.

Global Parameter Slider – Scale tree structure. Left corner is equal to 50% and right corner is equal to 200%.
LEVEL PARAMETERS

Level drop-down menu (LDM) – Select which level of the tree to edit. In this list T+ number represents trunk level; B+ number represents branch level; L+ number represents leaves type. In the brackets {} script shows the name of the picked object. To change this name press [Shape]button, change the name of selected object and then press again [Shape] button.

[Position] Button – Define position of the elements for selected level.

[Direction] Button – Define direction of the growth for the selected level.

[Scale] Button – Define scale of the elements for selected level.

[Radius] Button – Define radius for selected level.

[Shape] Button – Enter shape modify mode. Modify element and when it’s done, press the button again.

[Pick ...] Button – Pick new object from the scene for selected level.

Sides – Set number of the sides of selected trunk or branch.

Subdivision – Set number of the subdivision of the trunk or branch shape for selected level.

Count – Set number of the elements for selected level.

Radius Mul – Set starting radius of selected level by multiplying the radius of the parent branch and this value. When this value is set to 0.5, starting radius of the branches is half the size of the parent branch radius. When this value is set to 1.0, starting radius of the branches is the same as the size of the parent branch radius.

Spiral Steps – Set number of the branches of this level that are required to make complete 360 degree turn around parent trunk or branch. If set to 2.0, then angle between first and second branches of this level will be 180 degree; If set to 3.0, angle will be 120 degree and so on.

Level Parameter Slider – Scale element of selected level. Left corner is equal to 50% and right corner is equal to 200%.

From-to Level – Set selected leaves level to generate leaves from- to branch level. If second value is set to -1, leaves are generated from first set value to the last tree branch level.

Distance – Set distance between leaves. This value is editable only if Count value is set to zero.

Use Parent Scale – Set amount of the parent scale value applied to the leaves of this level. If set to 0.0, parent scale value is ignored, if set to 1.0 leaves of this level are scaled with 100% of the parent scale value.

Max Tilt Angle – Set maximum tilt angle of the leaves around X local axis. This value is independent of the Variation values and can be set individual for different leaves types.

[Rx] – Rotate selected level element around the X axis by 90°.

[Ry] – Rotate selected level element around the Y axis by 90°.

[Rz] – Rotate selected level element around the Z axis by 90°.

[Auto Align] – Auto align selected level element.

MatID From-to – Set material ID for elements in the selected level. If the two value are not equal then material ID is randomly selected between first and second value. If the two values are set to zero then script uses default material ID for the elements.

Tips & Shortcuts

Shift + Global Parameter Slider - Hold SHIFT and move the slider. Script will scale the tree structure and the leaves. The result is exactly the same tree but scaled up or down.

Alt + [Rx], [Ry], [Rz] Buttons - Rotate selected level element by -90°.
