Para 3d v3.0 offers new function which allow users to create parametric meshes by giving a set of vertices. In the beginning of the video I managed to create a SIN curve using math controller and in the second part a parametric mesh creates an envelope connecting the frames.

Pattern controller in Para 3d v3.0 allows users to interweave result of other controllers by user defined pattern, in this video you see how to use the pattern controller to switch between two splines of a curve. The curves themselves belong to another array and a parametric array link controller is extracting them from the array according to the index of splines in Para Shape.
Para Shape is new parametric object added to Para 2.8 and can be used to create spline shapes with constant number of vertices and splines.
Notice that in the beginning of video I created the array from a selection of existing scene objects, this is also new feature of para 3d v 3.0.

The best way to place mullions on a curtain wall.
Curtain wall is made of an edit_poly object which the edges of editpoly represent the axis of mullions , the mullion object itself is a single line object with a sweep modifier on top. This approach allow you to have any type of cross section for the mullions while it keeps them always perpendicular to the surface, you can also select the edges of edit poly and force mesh-controller to place the mullion only on selected edges.

Again randomizing surface division and use of mix controller to implement two magnets.
this time with para 3d V 3.0

This presentation was an attempt to reveal some basic ideas and concepts of Para 3d. It helps you to understand how Para 3d works and what it can do.

learn how to install Para 3d on 3ds MAX and how to setup its user interface .

As some users are asking for basic tutorials, I have decided to redo some old videos which was based on old interface of Para but using the new version. These practices are very short and quick just to recover some basics from old videos.

Old version :

New version:

In this video I have tried to explain usage of spacing options in surface controller Para 2.8. these options allow user to clad a surface with respect to the panel size or number of divisions.

This tutorial shows how to array an object between two surfaces using the Surface Controller in Para 3d.
