Thanks alot, It worls great. Really usefull. And not only for grass. Great for placing out any objects. Thanks alot.

One question: Why does it only work with a Nurbs-ground? I would really like it to work on polys... I always model with polys...

thanks guys ! thanks guys !

reasons... why not (yet) with polys

1) i'd like to make it also work with polys, but i have not found yet the MEL command that gives out a randomized vector (position) from points all over the poly-surfaces, and not only the cv. in nurbs, i can randomize a UV value and output the world coordinates of this point, based on the selected nurbs surface.

2) nurbs are also cool to generate shaped topography

* * *

i'll have an other look in the MEL reference... k?

any wishes so far ? what could be changed or added ?

* * *

of course it would be great to write it in C++ for the API, which would greatly speed it up, but i'm not familiar with C++

can someone help ?

maybe Dr. Merman is just doing this at the moment ... ?

I have some wishes.

1. Add the generated meshes into a new group...

2. Add more parameters:
rotate x
rotate y
rotate z

3. And when they are created, they must be moved to the right position. Why is that?

to wish 1) i tried that but failed at the first attempt. i'll try again

to wish 2) okay, i can do this.

to question 3) i don't quite understand what You mean...

the object is selected, duplicated and then, this new selection is moved to a place on the nurbs surface. this just randomizes objects to different places... this is the idea behind the script... :) well, i don't get it... :?

Hehe. Ok, Ill try to explain nr 3: When my meshes have been created, they all end up at the wrong position. So I have to create a group, and move them to fit the ground mesh... Like your screenshot..
Will there be a Maxwell Render 6 ?

Let's be realistic. What's left of NL is only milk[…]
