I am unfortunately unable to create grass blades 2 - am i doing something wrong? This is what I've done:
1. I have created a new archicad file with all the original archicad settings apart from the ones in the material editor and render window.
2. I created a simple slab 2x2M and applied the archicad LS-Grass material which i edited in the material editor simply enabling the maxwell grass function.
4. in photo rendering settings within archicad, I changed the render engine to maxwell, set the time to 2 minute and selected the material, object and roughness ID under channels.
5. I hit the render button. In the maxwell render window it comes up with an error message at the bottom saying 'no blades to create'. The image does render but without the grass blades.
Please can you let me know if i'm doing something wrong.
Any advice greatly appreciated as i'm tearing my hair out here
thanks
Ben
