wbroberts Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The sole reason I registered here is so I could force you, wbroberts, to tell me how you made that field of grass. I'm mainly using MR, but I guess I could render just my grass in scanline if it's as fast as you say. You feel like sharing your secret or the plugin you used? Edit: Ohh, think I found it. Is it Fabio Policarpo's Relief Mapping plugin v.1.8 you're using? I tested it in scanline now and it even works in max 2008. Good times. Edit2: I've been testing it some now and while I get good results with the usual brick and tile texture, grass is not giving me good results. It's not getting any height at all. Would you be so kind as to show me the map you used for getting those results? Mainly the normal/depth map. Thanks. I'm glad to see others are as bothered by this age old problem of grass as I am..... Yes, that plugin works the best with some tweaking....there is still a problem with it when you get into silhouttes on NURBS type surface meshes etc.....it handles curves and planes fine.....but those silhoutte details are important around structures etc for grass....I've attached my settings....you can just use his stone (with the tiling set pretty small which resembles Max's cellular procedural) or create normal with depth mapping with the Nvidia normal plugin for photoshop.....or GIMP has one too....I could attach my own grass shader later if needed....just real busy getting a building modeled right now.....but I find it very encouraging that I can get these results in 41 seconds.....

Cad64 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm reviving this old thread in the hopes that Wbroberts will come back and share his plug-in with us. Wbroberts, you out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melox Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Can't find grass in my materials library. It was there, I've seen it before. Can anyone help. Is it something I've done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yes, it's there. It's in the architectural.materials.sitework.mat file. There are two grass materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melox Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks CAD64. Got it. Now I'm going to put grass on everything. Except where the grass should be and concrete that bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenGoble Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 http://www.mrmaterials.com/jeffs-blog/101-mrproxy-grass.html Just thought I'd tag this on to this post as it's pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
