Pattern Engine
Developer: hesham elshipli
3ds Max scripted tool that generates parametric patterns, tiles, partitions and upholstery that adapt to closed 2D shapes.
What Pattern Engine does
Pattern Engine produces and edits parametric 3D geometry in 3ds Max, from decorative patterns and 3D tiles to partitions, shelves, wall art and upholstery. Patterns fit any flat closed shape and can be laid out in Grid, Radial or Random array modes.
More than 40 primitive shapes serve as pattern items, with over 200 presets in several categories. Weight, Random and Expression distribution modes control each item, and per-item parameters cover depth, angle, scale, slope and visibility. Gradient, Random, Expression and Shape effects can be blended. Concave, Outline and Bumpy Convex modes add variety, the last giving a pillow effect. Version 1.4 added custom shapes, text characters and pattern picking.
