Autograss plugin

i got an email after 1 hour right now ...and ohh wonder... there is a recompiled version available

the actual 1.03 build contains a 3dsmax 2012 path and it seems to work.

iWhat is the version number?

??? autograss_v1.0.3.zip ???

[Björn Radler]

yep... thats the version ....and it works !

[glorybound]

did you navigate to the 2012 folder because it isn't listing it for me and when I navigate then I get errors in max when I boot.

Take a look at my attachment

Maybe you should download it again from the customers page.

Erase the old one first.

[glorybound]

nope! I downloaded it again and it still doesn't give me the option. Can you post your installer? I would email them, but it would take 3 weeks!

[Björn Radler]

Its - AutograssInstaller_VRay2_X64.exe -

The .Zip files name is - autograss_v1.0.3.zip -

Okay... I am not on 2.0 yet.

Alright, I'm resurrecting an old thread here =) Hope that everyone's problems are solved. I however have another issue that I would like to solve. There doesn't seem to be any scale parameter in autograss. I've built my mesh in somewhat real scale, but since it's not photorealism I'm after, I'm looking to scale the grass up. The length doesn't help, since it doesn't change the width of the individual grass straws. I've tried scaling the source object, I've tried scaling the pivot point of both the autograss object and the source object, I've tried grouping it and scaling it, I've tried applying an Xform modifier and scale that and I've tried parenting the autograss object to a dummy and scaling it. Nothing! Isn't there any way to control the scale of the grass? Cheating or otherwise?

It's a bug from Revit to 3DS MAX, but the scaling is wonky and huge, so that might work for you. I have to do an xform ech time to get the sclale back to correct.

No, it's not that there's anything wrong with the scale. It looks as ordinary grass at real-world scale. But I would like to scale the size of the grass up a bit, to have a bit more artistic freedom.
