Edge mode not working with Corona
« on: March 24, 2022, 03:42:42 PM »
Hello, there is an issue when trying to use Edge mode with corona to scatter grass. ForestEdge is applied in Opacity slot, using spline area, grass made of multiple small mesh models (there is no opacity map, the grass is physical). Forest Pack still doesn't bother going near the edge, and treats it like its Size mode.  :( :( :( . Any sugggestions ? (I'm pretty sure I might have messed some setting by accident)

Sorry to hear you have an issue. Is the grass object one from our library or something else? If it's not one of ours, is it a nested Forest object?

Cheers,
Paul

Yes it's nested object. The grass is made up from 4 different patches, each patch is a single poly object with many mesh elements.

It does work with other grasses we bought from 3dSky and Nouvelle Mesure Lab. Problem is they already come with FP assembly so its hard to identify what is the difference in their FP object VS one I assembled.

Could you share the FP Object with me? It'd make it easier to diagnose. Please feel free to email it to helpdesk@itoosoft.com.

Thanks,

Thanks for sending in the file. I've been able to isolate the problem, it would appear that using a Distribution > Density > Rotation value of anything except 0 affects the edge mode feature.



I'll pass this on to the development team, but in the meantime, setting the value to 0 should fix it.

I hope that helps,
Paul

Thank you so much, yes it did resolve it. Ha, I don't even know how I ended up changing this value since default FP object has this parameter set to 0.
Again, thank you very much for the assist.

Best regards,

Dominykas
