Vertical grass & frosted glass rendering

maiello · Jan 16th 2020

When trying to render grass on a vertical surface, the 3D quality of the material disappears and essentially turns into an image of grass. This happens once you apply a grass material to anything more that a 70 degree incline. It would be nice to be able to render it on a vertical surface for grass walls.

Also frosted glass seems to always be an issue. The glass will look very transparent at anything below 6% or lower transparency (Revit), but far too opaque at anything above 6%. For some reason 6% is the magic number between completely transparent and completely opaque. This should be a sliding scale of transparency.

Thanks

+1 for vertical grass ( some green walls?)

+1 Vertical grass please, have wanted this for a long time and have had to use some unfortunate workarounds.

Thanks team!

It sounds like a super easy feature to add, just a vertical version of what already is developed. I think this is also already requested for a long time.

+1 from me too

Thank you both, your upvotes have been forwarded. I talked about this with our developers before and it is unfortunately actually not that easy to implement from a technical standpoint. Still, your feedback has been noted and this will be discussed internally once more.

Maybe instead of vertical grass, more plant assets that can be hosted on workplanes / walls in Revit so users can create green walls. Planting elements is currently one of Enscape's weakest points when working out of Revit. Would be great to have more options.

agreed with KMarren , also the vertical grass should be a quick fix, the orientation of the grass maybe could be controlled with keywords (like vertical grass) or something intuitive

I've found moderate success with using "carpet" instead of "grass" material type. Though this wasn't on a completely vertical wall but maybe 70degrees. Much better than other workarounds I've used in the past.

Forwarding your wishes, thanks a lot!

hello!

so apparently vertical grass issue is still not resolved in Enscape 3.1.

Can we have any followup on this ?

I'm afraid vertical grass is not yet supported - I have gladly forwarded your feedback to our developers accordingly though. May I ask what your use-cases would be for vertical grass in general? Just so I can forward that as well.

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED JPEG FILE.

I had to create something similar to the bottom image, but since vertical grass map is not possible so I had to play with enscape asset library and fill the space, but it cannot give me the same, sleek solution I required.

Hi asia

Thanks for clarifying, forwarded as well!
