bstonearch Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hey all, is it possible to apply a wind animation to a grass mesh that I've already built? If so, are there any tutorials on how this can be accomplished? I'm new to growFX so I'm not quite sure where to start. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faisal Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 You mean after you converted it to Editable Mesh? You can't revert it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstonearch Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Faisal, correct. I drew the grass as an editable mesh within 3dsMax. I did not use growFX to create it. So, I'm wondering if I can take my static editable grass mesh and "animate" it using GrowFX using wind so that the grass blows around. I have followed the tutorials on how to create basic "grass" from scratch using GrowFX. But I would prefer not to have to do that if I already have my static grass asset built.

Faisal Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Nope! You can't do that. GrowFX has no information about your mesh. It doesn't know about its branches. It has to be GrowFX object to be able to animate it. So first you have to create it in GrowFX. Check out some tutorials on creating grass. I'm sure It wouldn't take much time for you to create that grass from your screenshot. Aside from your question, Is that GrowFX 2.0?? Where did you get that?
