Hi there
Is there any option to get realistic grass effect with the Visualise version of Cinema (no hair plugin included)?

I would like to obtain this effect

Hi,
I don't remember if the Visualize version has the Mograph section, with it it's easy to do something similar, more easy than with hair for my taste ;)

Not so long ago i did freelance at a studio that got Visualize. It is so freakin useless.

hi,
I'm sorry, I never understand this maxon strategy, it's a big mess with all this reduced versions :(
A workaround would be export all the base meshes, lighting and cameras to the standalone, and then use Phantom Scatter to populate with instanced vegetation :roll:

In the meantime I found some workaround with use of particles. Yes. Grass made with particles :)
It looks like that
