Color Tools and Crossmap plugins in open beta

Vizpark has announced its two new plugins in open beta which is designed to add variation to your objects. Color Tools allows you to extract up to 100 colors from any photo and randomly assigns them to objects, object elements or even procedural maps in 3DS Max. The plugins are compatible with the scanline renderer, Mental Ray and V-Ray, and also works with Multiscatter and Forest Pack Pro.

The Crossmap plugin is a shader that randomly distributes bitmaps on geometry (objects, elements, faces etc.). Just select a folder with bitmaps and Crossmap does the rest.
