May 5, 2010 at 5:32 pmStill looks the same, even with “use LOD” turned off AND the display tag off as well. Did you maybe make use of a plugin that I don’t have to make the scene? No matter what I do, I get the same result. So it’s growing is some places, but not most.

May 5, 2010 at 5:38 pmWhy in the world can I not get that result? So essentially, so I understand it to replicate it, I would make a grass blade about 3 polys. Then I could clone it gridstyle on x,z with maybe a random effector to randomize the rotations in one axis. After that I clone that cloner and use another random effector keeping it as a child of the landscape or using an surface constraint tag. All the while having all the cloners using render instances? Am I missing anything? Or am I at least on point with what you did?

May 5, 2010 at 5:51 pmI created the basic patch with a cloner and random effector, but then I made it editable and connected all of the resulting blades into one polygon object. Then I cloned that patch object onto the landscape object using a cloner in object/surface mode. I used a random effector on that cloner to vary Y scale and rotation.

May 6, 2010 at 3:01 pmNo, no plugins except for the deGamma effect, but that just affects the render’s color space. Removing it doesn’t change the grass distribution here. What version of Cinema are you using?

May 14, 2010 at 5:51 pmI really think it was something with a plugin that was causing the issue. I understand that you didn’t make use of any of them to make the scene, however I recreated the exact scene myself in the exact same ways, and it rendered. Just an FYI for later posted scenes. Maybe it was just a fluke, who knows.

October 17, 2012 at 5:22 pmHey guys,
This is probably old news, but I just wanted to let you know what the problem was with the scene. It appears that somehow the cloner rotation got reversed so I set the rotation (R. P.) to -90 in the cloner’s transform tab and all is well. It looks just like the green field of grass that it is supposed to be.
Thanks for the grass, its great!
