Mesh Brush Scripts

Mesh Brush Scripts extend the functionality of the Mesh Surgery Mesh Brush by adding new behaviours. They're simply COFFEE text files, and require no programming knowledge to install or run.

How to install

Just download the script into Plugins/Mesh Surgery/MeshBrushScripts/

Next time you start up the Mesh Brush in Cinema they will appear in your Scripts Library dropdown.

Name : Hair Brush Author : Per-Anders Edwards

Decription

A brush to interactively paint hair splines on on an objects surface, what you then do with teh hari splines is up to you (eg put in loft nurbs, or sweepnurbs to render, or use Pauls Solid Spline Pro plugin, or use DiTools spline rendering post effect or whatever)

It's controls are

Spacing (the distance the brush will travel before it paints another hair.
Gravity - The ammount of gravity acting on the hair, the stronger this is, the faster they will point downwards (local space).
Kinkyness - The ammount of wave/kink in the hair
Kink Scale - At 100% this makes it virtually no wave, 0% is crazy kinks, 80% is curly wavey.
Knots - This controls the detail of the hair, a higher level means more points per spline, and so more detail.
Length - Obviously controls the length, if it's not enough the brushes Multiplier value will up this or lower this.
The overall spread of the hairs is controlled by teh falloff distance, so if you want to just paint splines is a row, then set the falloff distance to 0, and make sure that you ahve soft selection falloff set to "No Falloff". If you want a wider spread of randomly placed hairs, then make the Soft Selection distance wider.
