Hi! I am creating generic fur in v-ray with sketchup and I'd like to remove/hide the bottom plane on which grass grows, not removing the grass. I tried just hiding the plane or setting alpha to the material but it's not the thing. Anyone knows how to do so?

I've got an imported site from Revit that I need to make grassy with Vray Fur. I've isolated the sections I need and collapsed them to edit poly (also tried edit mesh) but when I apply fur, although the fur applies and appears in the viewport, the parameters are not editable and the fur renders standing straight up. I tried with a new spline-edit poly and this worked fine! I don't want to mess around re-drawing out the grassy sections if at all possible. Why can I not edit the vray fur on the imported geometry??? Is there a way round this?

Hello I've been following a few tutorials online on how to create realistic hair in 3ds max and i seem to have run into a problem I can't solve. I followed Joe Alter's online tutorials as well as recommendations from other members to add p_hair shader and every time I render I only seem to get a few spikes pointing out of my model's head. I have tried to increase the number of hair counts but I'm pretty sure that is not my problem. Can someone please help me with this by telling me what I might be doing wrong. I am pretty sure all the steps from Joe were followed as well as steps in installing and using p_hair shader. I'm using the mr prim option also. Further more I've applied a normal map to give my character some more definition in the face but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions in this area? Thank you guys in advance! Bobby
