increasing polygon segments in imported mesh
This is a follow-up to the ‘realistic grass’ problem in C4D arch version.
I’ve imported my grass mesh into c4d and attempted using “matrix extrude” to create a 3dgrass effect. Though it’s working, my polygon segments are too wide, and thus make the extrusions appear more like rashes than ‘marshes’.
How can i increase the polygon segments on the imported mesh?

You can select the object and run Function>Subdivide.
Instead of doing it that way I would try using material displacement — subpolygon displacement and a small scale noise (FBM noise works well).

Thanks. I’ve decided to take your material displacement option. Having done the sub-polygon bit, where do i effect the ‘noise’, and FBM?
-
The noise shader goes in the displacement channel and FBM is one of the noise types you can choose.

Found it, thanks. It does however take its time to render. I guess that’s because of the quality coming. Many thanks

It takes a long time to render because there’s a bazillion polygons. I should have thought of this earlier, but if you have the Hair module, that might give you a faster/better result.

I’ve looked extensively but my C4D architecture version 10 doesn’t appear to have the hair module. Could it be tucked away somewhere i’m not looking?
