Creating loads of nulls for instancing

Captain Obvious · Post by **Captain Obvious** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 4:36 pm

Is there a good way of creating a TON of nulls for instancing in Kray? I need to creating a flowign field of grass, and Vue is a pain in the ass and HD-Instance is having issues... So, I figured that if I create a patch of grass and then instance that patch about 400 times, I can get a good amount of variation. But that would require 400 nulls, and I really don't feel like doing that manually...

Anyone got any good ideas? Is there perhaps a plugin that turns points into nulls?

No but there is a plugin "familycloneGN" that can clone a nulls on top of your points. You can download it here http://www.newtek.com/forums/showpost.p ... ostcount=6
It's from faulknermanao http://thespread.ghostoutpost.com/_theo ... /index.htm

First you'll need to use FC_dumper in modeler to record point positions. Then use FC_cloner in layout and clone as u wish...

There is a plug called Null-it which creat a null for each vertex.

I can't find that "Null-It" plugin. Do you have a copy?

nulls are old way of instancing.
