Hi,
I'm just trying out the edge mode using vray for grass edges, but I can't get it to work.
Followed this tutorial http://www.itoosoft.com/tutorials/tutorial_edge_mode.php but I am getting no difference in renders from point or edge.
I don't even get a preview if I ctrl click the edge radio button as the docs describe.
The mesh is just a spline with a shell on top, I have tried collapsing the mesh but still the same problem.
Using Forest 5.05 and Vray 3.30.05
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Cheers.

make sure translation is off or very very low...

Instead Shell, please try applying a UVW Map modifier to the spline. Shell modifier creates a double set of faces (up and down), and this type of surface cannot be evaluated correctly by the Edge algorithm.
I suggest you take a look to this FAQ entry (http://forum.itoosoft.com/index.php?topic=2732.0). It describes the requirements to use a surface with Edge Mode.
I hope that helps.
