Title: Tryed "grass edges using Forest Effects" but can't make it work
Post by: KQ8229 on July 24, 2023, 11:57:14 am

I think everything is working OK. You just need to remember that edge detects the polygon at "z=0" and thus the straw lying on the ground grows in the area that is inside and thus is not clipped.

Hi,

It's really hard to say, what's happening exactly in your scene just from the provided image, if possible, please feel free to send us (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) your scene (ideally simplified and containing just this problematic object(s)). Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Thanks Michal

I can-t open your scene, because I use 3ds max 2018.... But I figured out, it has something to do with the material draget back to the material slot.
When I first did it, the top line in Geometry fp_grass must have bin selected, so therefore only some of the gras was addet the new color.

But still can't figure out, how to add the blevd correctly. If I select all in Geometry, and then drag the red line from the blend material to the material slot in Geometry, then all the grass is tinted..
And I can't drag if nothing is selected...!

Hi,

I’ve just sent you the file in the 3ds max 2018 format. You can either select all items and drag and drop Material #4836 to Forest’s Material button or use the Clear button and assign such material to all used items (_forest_library_*) directly. I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Thanks Michal

I got it to work, by adding the material to the forest object itself :-)
