OBAN/like toolset in maya?

[yenvalmar]

but you may want to try paintFX for this. it has various options to distrubute strokes on a surface and for controlling the direction things come out. almost all those examles on the oban page you posted could be acheived in paintFX. of course its not going to allow you to get as close up as real geometry necessarily but for grassy fields etc its cool. you can also define your own geometry as brushes, there is a thread on doing that here to make garbage for a city scene, someplace..

did you check geometry paint, which is included in the bonus Tools? i think it does what you want since many years

is it true? i can define my own geometry as mesh brushes?

thanks for your awnsers.
yenvalmar:
i'm exploring the paintFX option right now,
could you post a link to the thread talking about defining your own geometry as pFX brushes?

antweiler:
i'll try that, thank you :)

and if any of you wan't to know, i found a script allowing to work like maya's instancer, make particles replacement, but use object's copies instead of instances allowing to make multi generation random particle placement on objects.
