Jacky1972.21mm Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hi pylon I started generate a simple ground of grass. I created a grass definition in grass modifier library and applied in Maxwell attributes but the grass that i made can not appear in Maxwell Fire. What happen of my setting?

Jacky1972.21mm Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 pylon,. Yes. I enabled the display of grass in Fire Preferences but the rendering still empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Are you using the beta plugin 3.2.0.6? If so, please follow these instructions to upgrade: http://forums.formz.com/index.php?/topic/3601-new-maxwell-for-formz-early-build-3208/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etroxel Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Make sure the face normal for your base geometry is pointing upwards. The grass will be placed on the side that the normal is on. Maybe orbit so you can see underneath the polygon to see if the grass is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Evan, that would be grass in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi Jacky, Your grass is there, it's just tiny and sparse. You'll need to zoom in to see it. Use realistic values for the grass, material, plane, and view, and you'll see it clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Jacky, Your grass is rendering, but you are correct that the MXM/formZ material cannot be selected properly in the latest beta. Thanks for your report, we will get this corrected. For now, set the ground plane to the material with which you want the grass to render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1972.21mm Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi pylon, Still don't have any grass show out in my Maxwell Fire. Is it I set my formZ plug-in wrongly? Thanks your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi Jacky, Hmm. I think you must have the wrong version of Maxwell Render Suite installed. Please download the beta of the render suite (see here: http://forums.formz.com/index.php?/topic/3601-new-maxwell-for-formz-early-build-3208/ ) If this does not fix the issue, please attempt to render your project with Maxwell again (Select Display> Maxwell Render). Then, open the plugin Log (Select Extensions> Maxwell Render> Log). Click on "Save Log" and save to your Desktop or other convenient location, then post the resulting log here, or send it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi Jacky, I apologize- there is indeed an issue with grass not rendering in the 3.2.0.8 beta. This will be fixed from the next beta release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I discovered today that Grass is not working on my computers too. Hopefully it will after the next update. I use all latest versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Conlledo Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Same here. I'd love to see this fixed but for now I'm using scatter and that seems to work for me even though it's not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
