Hey.. SO I have been Trying to get a certain effect for grass for a while. And I was going to ask a quick question…I don’t usually like fur or anything like (I like to animate) that but its proving to be the only solution here.
I have a scene with grass. At one point the grass gets cut down. To generate the grass so far I have been using mays fur presets (with a few alterations). My question is …is there a way to control the length or coverage on fur using a alpha channel sequence that I can then animated in 2D to get the cut down effect I need…. Am I thinking along the right lines or is there an easier way to do this.
