Grass texture on a vertical surface?

Hi DanS , grass only works on horizontal surfaces as it's always "growing" vertical up. If you put it on a vertical wall you will only see it at the top surface.

DanS Okay okay, I put it onto our agenda

There are a bunch of green walls here, but I'm not sure how that would work importing to Revit. - https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.c…%BB%9Dn-%C4%91%E1%BB%A9ng

Hi DanS please try to close Enscape, save the project and start Enscape again.

This seems to be a current issue.

I Suggest can use the "grass" in vertical, in wall, for vertical garden.

jokebume Thanks for your feedback, this is already on our agenda and got your upvote.

you can implement this buy using material name "grass ivy" (or somthing else) and then the grass will by horizontal

Or it could be just managed be the direction of the face (frontside face direction = direction the grass grows)

The grass works very well, most of the time.

Would there be to invoke Enscape to grow grass on vertical surfaces?

+1 (I need living walls too)

Yes, it would be nice an Ivy option for the vertical surfaces like Lumion.

I know we are asking for so much things! but I'm pretty sure all this features will improve the value and quality of the software!

Thumbs up for improvement!

We decided to make grass grow upwards because else it looks unnatural at hills. As you can imagine it looks weird (like short hair) if the blades just grow 90° of the slope surface. Thats why we made it facing the sun.

We might have to add another kind of procedural vegetation material to solve that, thanks for suggesting.

thumb up! living wall

Hi ted!

Pleased to see you here.

having some gravity fall on the grass would be good, but the grass direction on the face orientation certainly works!

josephkim626 Yeah, I've branched out a good bit since I left Chaos Group! For design iteration, Enscape is absolutely the way to go!

One simple hack I tried didn't work in Sketchup, namely make a component and then reorient the component axes. But.... maybe this would make a very simple workaround in adding this grass wall wish to Enscape? It'd appear the coding works off global axis z not any inferior axis such as components. Just a thought that might save the code forge some time and money and get us this great idea in living green reality. Love the grass feature, and this would definitely open new vistas for design.
