    hi guys!

    i wanna achieve sort of a “waving grass” effect. i’m using a sketch and toon shader (just outlines) so the grass itself is not very complicated. the movement of the grass is my problem. is there a way to set a “wind” or anything similar.

    would really appreciate recommendations or tutorials!

    thanks so much!

    It depends on how you generated the gras. The new Hair module and hairdepartment can be influenced by deformers and have build in dynamics.
    If you just used polygon objects for the gras, use the wind deformer with small amplitudes or even PLA. It depends on the size of your gras area what works best.

    Kind regards,

    I agree with Arndt. There are a lot of “Depens on” this or that but I have seen some really good grass with Hair.
    If you don’t have hair, Place on points is an alternative. you can have a control Null affect the tips of the grass blades like they’re blowing.
