I saw a script that can make animating a bunch of grass a breeze, i'm pretty shure i saw it on www.scriptspot.com

hmmz

theres more to it

this function relies on the bend modifier of the grass

here's my second problem


how do i get good straw placement without resetting my xform ?
since max wont place it correctly according to my pivot with a bend modifier on it ..

its just a matter of adding the animation before you xform and scatter

will post an animation soon
