Title: Long grass with extra paint area with short grass. ->transitition in length?
Post by: Soluna on April 13, 2021, 12:30:21 PM

Hey :) I´m trying to create a wild garden. I have one Forest Pack object in my scene for the overall grass and some additional ones with grass overlays (dandelion, buttercup, etc.). Because I have a natural stone staircase in my scene I want the grass to be very short where the stones of the stonecase are. I tried to create a new paint area and wanted to drastically decrase the length of the grass there but I can´t get it to work.. In addition I´d like to have a soft transition between the long grass and the short grass where the stone steps are. Is all that possible in one forest pack object or do I need 2 (one for the tall grass and one for the region where I have my staircase and where I want the grass to be short)?

Yes it is possible to do with 1 FP object. You will need more splines to control where to exclude/include what with "Select models" option.

I would recommend watching this hands on demo (https://youtu.be/f0D0-tji--0?t=1204). Which will provide everything You need to know to make complex distributions.
Hope this helps.

If You need further help, please attach max file and we will try to.
