Korman:Grass Shader
This is a tutorial page.Versions available: PyPRP; 3ds Max; Korman. |
This article will assist you with adding waving foliage to your Ages.
Introduction
Korman 0.12 added the ability to export "grass shaders" to Ages exported for Myst Online: Uru Live and Myst V. These can be found powering the waving grass in Cyan's Eder Tsogal and Siralehn Ages. The effect is more powerful than simply adding pre-baked waving animations because it operates on a vertex level by applying the transformation more strongly to the topmost vertices than the lower vertices.
A sample Age blend file is available for this feature. This Age has been submitted to the Destiny Shard for your convenience.
NOTE: this effect is not supported by the Path of the Shell engine, so Korman will simply not export this effect when your Age is exported to the legacy engine.
