VrayFur doubts viewport Max

[romologama]

Hi everyone and thanks. It's my first post and I must to say that is CGArchitect is my inspiration source. Thanks again.

 

Well, someone can help me about Vray Fur? When I create a VrayFur, I see a square plane with up arrow over my plane mesh created, for example, a grass. But when I zoom out my model in viewport of Max 2013, this square plane, automatically increases the size, covering the model in the scene disturbing viewing. So I need to return zoom in, to see my model again, and of course, the square plane, reduces the size automatically.

There is a way to hide this in viewport?

 

Thanks for any help.

Well, you can hide it (I mean Right click -> hide selection) or you can put them in a layer and hide the layer.

Ok! I need to know more about this option in put them in a layer and hide.

Thanks Krisztian for your tips!

Best regards.

The icon has a fixed size, meaning no matter how far or close you are, it will always look the same size. You can always hide it, but you'll be hiding the fur as well. Simply ignore it.

Well, maybe I have some problem with it, because my icon doesn't is fixed size. I remember that the plugin Autograss has similar icon, and work exactly how you said, but the VrayFur the icon change the size when changing the zoom in viewport and I can't fix this problem. As you said, I can hide the icon, but the plugin will be unable in final render.

You create a new layer, put all the VRayFurs in it and hide the layer. When you want to render the fur, you just unhide it. Though the best is to ignore it as Ricardo Eloy said. If it's really needed to be hidden, just right click and hide selection.

Yeah, this is the way! Thanks again Krisztian and Ricardo, you help me a lot to understand the process.
