Scenario: I have a village scene that uses a lot of low poly palm leafs but i now want to relpace these with better looking palm leafs... there are hundreds of them now! :)


is there such an option in trueSpace 5.1 or if not, a plug-in to do this?

Hi Theuns,

Hopefully someone here who is familiar with your trueSpace version will help you with this soon, but in the meantime it occured to me that there are a few free tools in the way of trueSpace plugins which might work for you with this.

The ones I am thinking of are called "Coolpowers" and are available at the following link (note that CP2 and CP3 are the ones that may help):

http://freecp.sourceforge.net/

Hope that helps,

Try the "hoser" and "multiplex" options in cool powers, not sure which CP versions though, but I know CP3 has at least one of them.

Not exactly a global replace tool like in TS6.6, but may suffice for making the job easier in the absence of a similar tool in your current TS version.

Good luck!

If you have cool powers 4 (the free one) there's 'swappo' but it's not entirely reliable and could be a bit slow, but might be worth trying (but make sure you've saved everythign first).

I think there was a ckgamefactory plug-in called 'clone' that did what you're after, but I don't have a copy (and can't be certain that was the name or source since their page has gone down). Someone else may know more about that...

Is it "ShapeClone"?


From the Readme:

HOW TO USE:


This tSX replaces object at rendering time.


Clone Object: Object that is replaced with an original at the rendering time.

Original Object: Original object.

Size: Size of a clone is changed.

Apply: The parameter of ShapeClone is set up to Clone Object.

Disable: TSX becomes ineffective.



Should be attached to this post.
