Title: Weird problem with FP - not scattering on poly at all
Post by: Uwe Kreuzahler on January 16, 2017, 05:11:32 PM
Hello

I'm having some real issues with FP, trying to scatter on a terrain (poly) but when i assign FP to the poly then nothing shows up

It's kind of hard to explain and i really dont understand where the problem is.

To make it easier i have added a test scene to this post.

Can someone check on it and tell me whats going on?

Thanks for any help

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

The object "COLLINETTE" used as a Surface has flipped faces (thought in the view-port it doesn't seem so - please feel free to do some additional testing with the xView - Face Orientation tool or a 2Sided material). From the scene itself it's not clear how that issue arose, but in similar cases Flip normals > Reset XForm - Reset Selected > Convert to Editable Poly fix it. Attaching the modified scene.

Best regadrs,

uffffff, i feel more then embarrased right now to not check on the normals
I got the terrain from a client and i never thought about this.

Thanks for the fast help!!!!!!

Cheers
