Forest Pack Grass Border Problem

[muhamedthufail]

Hi all,

 

Am working on a project which has huge landscape and vegetation. Am trying to get my Grass area border right .. Am attaching an image for reference

 

I've tried changing values like 'Density FallOff and Scale Falloff' But it has no effect on the grass ..

 

Is there any other ways ? Can anyone atleast post a tutorial on it ?

Am using Max2013, Forest Pack 4.0.2 [ settings image attached ] and Vray 2

 

 

Please help .. I have a deadline on this Thursday ..

I think this tutorial from iToo Software:

 

http://www.itoosoft.com/forestpack/tutorials/tutorial_grass_edges.php

 

answers your problem.

 

If not - let me know.

The solution for your problem is described in this iToo tutorial:

You'll need to add small grass patches that are distributed only near the edges with falloff. Itoo made up a tutorial just for this. As an alternative, you can get close to the edges with Forest Pack, then right up to the edge with Grass-O-Matic, which you can find on Maxplugins.

and boundary checking should be set to "size" and not "point"

Thank you .. It solved my problem ..

I went through all the tutorials and missed this one .. :/

 

If it doesn't bother you may i ask , i had trees and some bushes scattered on the same plane as grass with another forest tool and suddenly its gone, is it a bug or something ? because when i go to modifier tab after selecting it all i can see is "mesh".
