FAST FENCING Trial earns its place in the autodesk_apps library by turning a 3D spline into an editable, renderable fence object that slots into the standard 3ds Max workflow.
FAST FENCING Trial is a 3ds Max script that generates an architectural structure through a custom procedural mesh object. You change its parameters and watch the results update in real time, an easy and intuitive way to create a fence at a simple level and shape your own style, useful for the creation of urban backgrounds.
The script creates an FA_Fence object that works like any native 3ds Max object: any deformer can be applied, it's renderable, and it can be converted to mesh. The fence adapts to any 3D spline shape, placing main poles at every spline knot and intermediate poles at every subdivision. Fence types include a plane with texture and poles. Segments and poles can be selected and modified individually, and every part of the geometry has its own material ID to make texturing easier, with some parts including their own UV mapping and UV tiling.
Utilities include multiplying all distances at once to adapt the object to your scene units, plus copy/paste of parameters. Some features are only available in the full version.
FAST FENCING Trial is best for 3ds Max artists building fences and urban background environments who want a procedural, spline-driven structure.
FAST FENCING Trial is completely free to download and use.
FAST FENCING Trial creates an FA_Fence object that works like any native 3ds Max object. You can apply any deformer to it, it's renderable, and it can be converted to mesh. Beyond that, segments and poles can be selected and modified individually, and every part of the geometry carries its own material ID to make texturing easier, with some parts including their own UV mapping and UV tiling. This keeps the fence flexible to reshape and texture within your existing scene rather than locking it into a fixed form.
FAST FENCING Trial generates its structure from a custom procedural mesh object that adapts to any 3D spline shape. It places main poles at every spline knot and intermediate poles at every subdivision, and supports fence types including a plane with texture and poles. You adjust the parameters and watch the results update in real time, which makes it straightforward to create a fence at a simple level and shape your own style for urban backgrounds.
FAST FENCING Trial marks some features as available only in the full version, so the trial covers a subset of the tool. The full version's extras include smooth or stepped adaptation to terrain, the palisade fence type, automatic geometry updates when the spline changes, and saving or loading your own fence templates. Purchasing the full version also includes the Oblong and Oblong Void primitives at no extra cost. For current details on what each version offers, check the developer's page.
FAST FENCING Trial is listed as free in this catalog. As the trial edition, it makes a subset of the tool available, since some features are reserved for the full version. For current licensing terms, the price of the full version, and any bundled extras such as the Oblong and Oblong Void primitives, check the developer's page for the most up-to-date information before you download or purchase.
