Title: Large position transformations cause forest items to enter exclusion zones
Post by: steve3duk on April 01, 2024, 08:05:37 PM

Is there a way around this other than adjusting the exclusion spline? I am scatter rocks over a large terrain and have to up the random position transformations substantially to reduce the grid like effect. This causes some of the rocks to enter the exclusion spline. Is there an effect that compensates for this?

Hi,

As mentioned in this tightly related post (https://forum.itoosoft.com/forest-pro-(*)/edge-mode-after-large-translation-values/msg16046/#msg16046): “A possible way to avoid this kind of problem, where enabled Transform - Translation can push some items outside of the Area, would be to "limit" these values in proximate areas to the boundary line. Please feel free to try the attached "transalteFalloff.eff" Effect, which is interpolating these values in problematic zones ...”

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
