Cyberix3D - Free Online 3D Game Maker

A plugin that automatically generates a grass area, (square only for now !)
where you wish it in your world, you can edit the area in the editor.

- area size
- area position
- difference between two models grass
- height grass
- radius grass
- material


e.g

Editor


Test Render


Final Render


Final with multi-layered Render



Δ WARNING Δ

- The plugin is not perfect and still in development,
They have some bugs, its main flaw is that it is greedy and the generation is quite slow, but effect is very nice for (exterior) surrounding !

- You can modify several parameters in order to improve the optimization or to have a better rendering.

- It is possible to make multi-layer, 2 layers maximum at the moment.

############


The algorithm is said to be 'naive' as simple as possible but efficient enough

e.g


How to have GAG ?

- GAG 'view source' copy the code
- in Editor, New Plugin.
- paste the code
- save Plugin with name 'GAG' (or other)
- ENJOY !

- 'view-source' > >>> > 'save Project As Plugin ...'

This is the position of your future area, you can move it or you want it. plane.x, plane.z, plane.y.
[WARNING, Rotations are not taken into account]

- [1] SIZE_X, SIZE_Z, DIV_
change the size of the area, [WARNING, 'size_x' & 'size_z' must have the same value, 'div_' must be worth half]
e.g

size_x = 500
size_z = 500
div_ = 250


- [2] DIFF
The value of 'diff' will be the difference between two models grass. ('root')

- [3] RADIUS_GRASS
As its name indicates, allows to modify the radius of the roots.

- [4] HEIGHT_GRASS
Allows to modify the size of grass strands.

- [5] ALPHA_GRASS

#UPDATE
+ nograss (creates a grass-free zone inside the 'grass area')
