[SOLVED] Grass Object

[werner.poetzelberger]

I have created a grass object and experience the following issues:

 

a: a weird polygon rendering issue while no texture assigned to the object. (GTX 980, I can give more spec. info if needed).

b: the distance settings do not effect the rendering, once a texture is applied. Is this because the mip mapping is messing up opacity before the far distance is taking in consideration?

 

Thx.

Hi Werner,

 

a: a weird polygon rendering issue while no texture assigned to the object. (GTX 980, I can give more spec. info if needed).

This is a known issue for now (please, check the Known Issues post).

 

b: the distance settings do not effect the rendering, once a texture is applied. Is this because the mip mapping is messing up opacity before the far distance is taking in consideration?

Send this information to QA, thanks!

It seems to be a mipmapping thing.

 

weird texture depiction in the texture preview btw.

 

b.w.

Hi Werner,

 

I'm afraid we can't reproduce your problem.

 

Could you please provide us minimal test scene with grass object, material and texture.

 

Thanks!

Hi.

Sure I can.

I uploaded the scene to ftp called: Farm_22_02032016small.zip

 

The 2 textures are: grass_simple.dds and grass_simple4MM.dds.

 

It seems that the maximum number of mipmaps is causing the texture to fade sooner than the distance settings in the grass object.

(maybe thats how it should be).

 

Thx

Hi Werner,

This behaviour is correct.

The more mipmaps in your textures, the less details you will see on bigger distances, because of every next mipmap have half-resolution from previous.

And if you look on your grass object from top, you will see, that number of mipmaps does not affect on distance settings.

Thank you for your feedback.

I thought it would be that way, and now we know its correct.

 

Cheers.
