Grass isn't growing on my routes

[jimbursch]

I see in the "Content Samples" route that came with TRS19 that there is grass growing on the "PBR Grass with Dirt 1" texture, but when I apply the texture to my own routes, there is no grass, just the dirt. Is there a route setting that I am missing?

Ground textures with PBR are height mapped to give a 3d effect, however what you seem to be missing is TurfFX which is the grass growing on the texture. This is applied using the ground tools. Change the application from ground to TurfFX and use the height up button to grow your selected turf.

Holy mackerel. This is looks like a can of worms (or sardines, to keep my metaphor pure).

It looks like this video will help me

Very interesting as I haven't looked at that until now. However on an existing route (mine) I see the "WARNING: Changes to effect layer data may precision loss in already painted areas and can not be undone." What does that really mean, and is it going to really harm anything if I want to update the route?

It means if you edit an existing turf layer you may finish up with grass in unitended places.

Thanks, that means no problem as I've never used it before. Full steam ahead (no pun intended). :hehe:
