Hi Doc -
I hope you’re well, my friend!
I’m working on adding grass to an object (a book) that will be rendered as a still image, and have 2 questions…
1) What is the easiest way to isolate the grass to very specific parts of the book object? For instance, I’m trying to make it appear as though the grass is growing out of gaps between pages and from the edges of the book cover. I’m guessing that this will have something to do with a vertex map. If it does, please keep in mind that I’m a vertex rookie.
2) Will I need to use a Hair Object rather than the Grow Grass feature in order to have the grass interact with dynamics? As far as I can tell, the answer to this question is yes, but thought I’d ask the expert.
I’ve attached a screen grab showing a nice grass effect where the grass grows only from specific areas.
Thank you for your guidance, Doc!
Mark
