Hi,
I am trying to find a good grass solution, and gradually becoming frustrated :D
I got a nice solution (speed/beauty) out of max hair, in the buffer mode. But it works great with my 10x10 meter plane, and if I make a 100x100 meter one, it starts behaving unpredictibly - crashing, rendering odd results, etc.
Has somebody found a decent solution for large grassy areas? Man, I really miss Vue style mesh instancing in max!
P.S.: Without the camera culling freebie operator in max 9, pflow goes out of the question :(
