Recently Forest Pack Pro got a really nice update supporting clean edges of grass out of the box.
Unfortunatly it is only supported by VRay at the moment.

I asked on itoo forums and it seems now Octane needs this kind of shader to be developed by Otoy.

Will this happen? I use FPP on a daily base and this new feature is a real time saver. I think others here use FPP too.

Yes, I use FPP and RailClone for my everyday workflow, so I think we need full support of all features available.


P.D: Let´s wish Karba to get well soon, and enjoy the Holidays too.

Hey,

yes I vote for that edge mode support too +1. I am also working with Forest Pack and Railclone, so a complete support would be really nice.

In the forum there they told me it has to be implemented from the otoy side.

Does octane support instances in real clone or it is slow to render?
Thanks

Hey,

in Forest Pack instances are fully supported by Octane, but not in Rail Clone. Rail Clone objects have to be instanced first with the Rail Clone tools but I have the impression that also then they are bigger than normal instances. That's why I already requested the full Rail Clone support here in the forum also :).
