Introduction

Mass Instancer is a production quality plugin built for creating complex geometry instancing effects using Maya and Mental Ray. By combining numerous customization parameters and particle-driven instance placement, effects such as large crowds, cityscapes, forests and explosion debris can be set up with ease.


Compatibility

The plugin is currently compatible with Maya versions 2011 - 2013 (32 and 64 bit) on Windows.


Plugin Features

    - Particle-driven instance translation, rotation and scale attributes.
    - Advanced frame-by-frame cycle functionality for setting up individual behaviour in crowd simulations.
    - Customizable level of detail controls.
    - Support of multiple materials on a single mesh.
    - Geometry and raytracing level of detail options.
    - Support of render proxies (also known assemblies and delayed read archives).
    - Customizable randomization of translation, rotation and scale values.
    - Support of all material properties, including displacement.
    - Material and raytracing mode overrides for generated instances.
    - Support of animated geometry.
    - Intuitive user interface for setting up instancing effects with a few clicks.
