Crossmap 1.3 GUI
CROSSMAP is a 3Ds Max shader that randomly distributes bitmaps on geometry (objects, elements, faces etc.). Just select a folder with bitmaps and leave the rest up to Crossmap. Crossmap creates more variety among visualization projects easy and fast, for example leaves on trees, grass, gravel, stones, flowers, wood fences and many more.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Fast loading of multiple images at once
  • Random distribution on multiple objects, elements and faces of an object
  • Random color variation on distributed image instances
  • Compatible with ForestPackPro

Easier alternative for walls and floors -> Walls & Tiles

While Crossmap is a good solution for any kind of randomized bitmaps, Walls & Tiles automates the creation of walls and floors with a very easy to use interface specifically made for this purpose. Walls & Tiles includes a FULL VERSION of CROSSMAP. Check it out here…

New Version 1.3

  • NEW: Added new distribution mode random sequence but unique map first
  • NEW: Added limit linear/random selection to similar colour with a Hue range
  • NEW: Added random x/y – offset to source bitmaps

New Version 1.2

  • NEW: Added sort list function
  • NEW: Added VRay instance primitive support (e.g. vray fur)
  • NEW: Added VRay MultiScatter support
  • NEW: Added global output gamma
  • NEW: Added maximum files limit filter
  • NEW: Added subdirectory loading

New Version 1.1

  • NEW: Color Match Mode – Match and distribute bitmaps according to specific source colors

old bricks distributed with Crossmap together with BerconTile
each brick is a separate bitmap, randomly mapped on a simple box object
Crossmap with ForestPackPro, bitmaps randomly assigned to FPP instances
square sidewalk tiles, mapped per face on a simple plane. Material and textures included in product library.
cobblestones mapped on faces, stones around tree mapped on objects, grass blades mapped on elements of grass objects
leaves randomly mapped on elements of a AEC tree
20 bitmaps randomly mapped on to faces of a simple plane object
leaves randomly mapped on elements of a AEC tree
images randomly mapped across several objects

THREE SIMPLE STEPS

1

Load multiple images at once

With Crossmap you don´t need to import and load every image one by one. You can choose a folder and Crossmap automatically loads all images from this folder. You can also add single images and edit the image list in Crossmap by removing specific images or adding new images.

2

Select random distribution mode

CROSSMAP randomly distributes the images on multiple objects, elements of an object and even faces of objects.

3

Adjust and render

You can sort images, select random or linear sequence order, randomize color values and render..
