Turffx - 2019

[sologuitarist61]

Just got 2019 and all seems straightforward with the exception of TURFFX. The Wiki and associated videos all show the normal terrain controls being used for painting (Up,Radius etc) but these do not work for me at all and the only way I can get any grass is to use the Square (define an area) box under that Advanced tab. This is as good as useless for precision placement of grass (between tracks say). Any ideas why the Radius and Sensitivity controls do not work for me?
Apologies if this has been asked before!

You can just use the oldschool methode with simple grass splines, my idea. Your idea is possible as well, but not really useful, because it's at the expense of the Performace. Just change the Turffx-density and the Turffx-scale value.

There are many factors that can cause the radius not to work and among them is the radius size. If it's too small it won't place the grass. Grass placement as it is, is not very precise due to how it works. Instead of being over the whole surface as a texture the grass is attached to the vertices of each grid square.

There are places where you need to use a combination of old-fashioned splines along with the procedural grass in order to obtain the effect you want.
