I am using the fluid example file (terrain.ma) and I wish to use paint effects to produce grass on the surface of this fluid effect, but it always puts the grass on the base (nurbsPlaneShape1) which is flat (Y=0 coordinates). This makes the grass appears under the fluid effect, which is undesirable. Should I convert the fluid effect to a polygonal mesh or something along those lines? Thank you for your help in advance.

As far as I know, you can only paint on geometry. You actually have to select it and make it paintable. You most likely cant do this with an effect.
