I saw this plug in available for 3dsMax, is it also available for Maya - will it be?

Also since Im starting a new thread, has anyone worked with it? Looks really good…

Cheers

Unfortunately it is only for 3ds Max for the moment; there was talk about a Maya version, but it might be best to ask the developers about it. Other than that, there is always VRayFur, although it is somewhat more limited.

I also enquired about this to the developers about a year ago, they said they had plans but dont hold your breath.

thanks vlado,
and stezza for me it is just a matter of curiosity, but if you must create good looking grass, have you achieved similar results without it?

Best regards,

I remember doing a large camping scene and I wanted Autograss for the fields. I used paint effects in the end with a veriety of lenghts and flowers, converted to polys it rendered just fine. You do have to play with the shaders I didnt used the maya shader which gets applied by default.
