This is an awesome looking plugin. Have to give it a nice look when I get a chance and would be nice if we could all support Frederic’s efforts.
Looks great. Can’t wait for a stable, reliable version!
If its for a Mac, count me in.
Hello!
I am afraid there might be only windows versions, Frederic was looking for someone who could help to port it to Mac. If you know someone who could help do not hesitate to contact Frederic or drop us a note 🙂
I am very enthused about this plugin for Carrara.
One thing you mention as possible is:
— Align and bank function for particle orientation along motion path —
This is of particular interest to me, but I am not quite seeing it in the sample files, nor can I figure it out. We are distinguishing “motion path” from point force, yes? Could I trouble you for some guidance?
thank you
