Hi,
All your objects have to be equally scaled in object mode (along X Y and Z axis).
I guess you get this because of the randomize script, make sure you press "link axis" when you use it to change the object sizes.
Hope that helps.

I pointed out this problem earlier. If the decimals are too few on rotation matrixes indigo thinks its not orthagonal.

But hire nothing works.
This is a message I get while changing a test scne:

Hi aleksandra

If you want to use one of the 0.7tx issue of Indigo, take the last one (0.7t5). XML scene description has evolved, but the pdf inside is quite up to date so it will show helpfull.

You are using a 0.7tX scene with 0.6, that can't work (maybe you used a recent exporter wich doesn't comply anymore with 0.6)

And when debugging scenes, just trust Indigo's output: remove what's unexpected, add what's expected and at the end everything should work. That's a quick way to learn 0.7tx scene description. Along with the doc of course :)

@Aviel

Hi

I don't see the relationship between your image, your post and drBouvierLeduc's tutorial. Btw isn't that Maya, don't lie to me :shock: :D

Does this mean "After visiting this site, please tell anyone about it!"?
"cela dit en passant" means, textually, "that said in passing" or, "by the way"
After visiting the site: splendid work, that said in passing.
That's a bit redondant, but I didn't write that :mrgreen:

The same way, as descripted in this tut ;)
The only difference is, that you have to search the blendigo style -material ;)

I think so ;)
You just have to be careful, which one is first.
One way needs a black-white alpha, the other one needs a white-black one...
Don't know, exactly which way needs what, but you can test it yourself ,I guess^^

I mean, you've to be careful, which mat is A and which is B...

Hi. I am very exiting about this tutorial becouse i can use it far an game project becouse it is not so high poly :)

But i have a simple problem. If i use the Randomize Loc size rot script in object mode than he rotate or move the plane's all the same. So if i use that script than they are all moved to a direction and not in very different direction like your screenshot.

So to keep it clear. If i use the randomize loc size rot script than all planes move in the same direction and they are not moving in very different ways like your screenshot.

Hey, thanks for great tutorial. For me everything went fine until the final render when the grass looks very dark. What might be the problem? Material is the same one u put on the tutorial (just copied it). Does it has something to do with material settings or rather tonemapping? Thanks for help!!
