Grass issue

[Chelaru]

I want to create grass using groundcover tool but i get this issue: http://ft.trillian.im/97b33c1629d93a7dad168e4e702ba3f63ec28af1/6BFmsKkItWCdYkC9NRgIyYHoYdGWQ.png

This was used as well : http://wiki.torque3d.org/artist:material-translucency .

It seems that is some sort of problem with the blend

Yes. It look really bad.

Is the grass a model, or the procedural billboards? I can't really tell from the screenshot because of how dense it is.

There's a couple options there, actually. Blend into terriain is usually https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Templates/Full/game/art/environment/materials.cs#L5-L8 and best done with grass that only pops up on similar colored terrain.

https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Templates/Full/game/art/environment/materials.cs#L15-L18 is a straight discard, with no attempts made at blending, just shows or not, so for that, you'd have your grass set up with a sharp alphamask to avoid a 'stippling effect' as it were.

Here you can find the screenshots with all option specified:

This are the texture and the 3d model patch for the grass.

Mind circling the bit that is unexpected?
