TUTORIAL: Creating realistic wild, mown and striped grass in 3ds Max (Beginner)
Ғылым және технология
In this short tutorial, we take a look at how to add realistic grass to your scenes using the presets that ship with Forest Pack Pro, and then, in the second part, we’ll look at how the presets can be modified to create a few looks that aren’t available out of the box. There are 6 short parts to this video:
00:00 Introduction
01:05 Improving the Terrain
02:35 Adding a simple grass preset,
05:28 Adding overlays or small plants and weeds
08:42 Creating a mown lawn effect
09:38 Creating a striped lawn using materials
12:32 Creating a striped lawn using geometry
An exercise file and written version of this tutorial is available on the iToo Software website: bit.ly/3m2UZ9Y

We're glad you think so :)
Morning glory!
We need automatic forest creator: 1. Choose your render engine. 2 choose terrain. 3 choose forest style with grass from premade presets. (Full forests with grass, twigs stones. Different seasons. Different forest complexities like 1-5. Choose splines where trees end) 4 done. Render. 5 sell presets and split revenue made by community like they sell games through steam.
please add procedural distribution where you wont notice repeating patterns from any distance
I'm sure it's just a question of time before the striped lawns will be a preset within Forest Pack Pro :)
Nice
You added Edit Poly Modifier to keep the edge flow uniterrupted by the Noise Modifier above. Did you then collapse all Modifiers to a new Editable Poly? Or is it possible to somehow keep the Soft Selection active, without collapsing, so that I am flexible to adapt the strenght and scale of my Noise Modifier later on?

Ok, figured it out: to do that you need the Poly Select Modifier instead of the Edit Poly one. Btw, great tut, iToo!
Hello, the grass/colors doesn't look anything like in this scene :( ... what render engine is used for this ? it looks like real grass in this video // Nevermind it seems like the HDRI is doing a lot of the work - I guess my real question is how are you getting the almost white highlights on top of the grass?
I'm using the Forestpack Lite, can I change the grass colour with this version??
what if i have no ito software ? Without plugins?
Hello Itoosoft team, thanks for this great video. When I use the grass presets, the grass is much darker and the color is different than yours in the video. Did you choose special light, material or render settings. Regards M.P. 3dsmax vray 3.7

You can tweak the brightness, hue and saturation using the Colour Correction settings in the Materials rollout. I think we brightened them a little using those controls.
I'm having issues when I try to scatter a predefined preset on a imported mesh. I usually model everything in Revit and export as FBX file, but for some reason whenever I try to apply any of the different presets (detail, or large) I get a weird scale error. Sometimes grass is huge, sometimes is very small so terrain looks like a green carpet instead of a realistic lawn. I noticed this only happens when you try to scatter on imported topography meshes. If you model your terrain on 3Ds Max this just doesn't happen. Any advice?

Make sure you reset the XForm on any imported geometry - that should sort it out. Cheers!
so forest pack can change direction but it can't really bend the scattered objects right?

No - it can only change the rotation. If we deformed the actual meshes it wouldn't be possible to instance the objects so it'd be much more memory intensive.
Where can I find the exercise file for this? It's not seen in the link

If you visit this page bit.ly/3m2UZ9Y, it's on the top left side where it says tutorial files. Thanks.
Thanks for Great stuff and tutorials , But Seriously you need to get rid of hidden frozen objects in forest_tamplates layer , its very annoying , and cuz a lot of problems like (0 Scale and 0 Polygons) issues .
