Floating grass

Being very new, I recently imported som grass from Speedtree. However when I paint it on using the foliage tool, it sort of floats/hovers above the terrain. How do I make it touch the terrain?
Thanks!

Hi Will,

There are a couple of ways you can go about doing this.

  1. You can change the settings in the foliage tool to do this when you’re painting the mesh. This will not apply to any meshes that are already painted with the foliage tool.

  2. Check the pivot of your grass mesh and make sure that the bottom of the mesh is sitting on the ground or a little below. If the pivot is off a little an the polygons are raised up on the z-axis this will need to be adjusted in you modeling program to get this correctly aligned.

There are some other factors that may play into what you’re seeing and may require further adjustments to get it working exactly the way you would like. These are just the two areas I would start looking at before looking at other methods.

Feel free to post a screen shot of what you’re seeing as well. Sometimes that can be much more helpful in determining what the best action is.

Thanks!
