Mask problem on WorldClutter

[david.broto]

Hello.

 

I have some issues with the tutorial: Adding vegetation: Random Scattering of Objects.

 

In the step 3, point 8, it says to load a Mask, I have these 3 mask (Attached on the thread)

 

I have a WorldClutter under the ObjectTerrain node, a 2049x2049 (step 1, height 350, lod 100) heightmap imported, then I add 1-3 types of vegetation .nodes, and it works nice, and add trees in the entire world, but the problem come when I try to import a mask, so the trees didnt grow on some zones, the thing is, it didnt take any kind of effect, like theres no mask imported, if I click on the eye icon, I cant see the mask, but if I remove the 1-3 nodes in the list and click on the eye button, I can see the mask.

 

So.. I dont know if Im doing something wrong, but I really need to add a mask so the trees wont grow underwater.

 

Thanks.

Not sure, but might be caused by using non-one-channel PNG mask image format (e.g RGB/RGBA). Try converting to 8-bit one-channel format.

Yeah right! that was it, I have now 2D R8, and it works!

 

Thank you.

A note on mask format is added to the tutorial.

In situations like this, you can check the console for error messages, they can give you a hint what could be possibly wrong.
