3ds grass model

| I have a decent looking 3ds grass model, but it only covers a small area. Is there a way i can use copies of that same model to cover the entire area? |
| ||
| CopyEntity(mesh) |

| I know that, but how do you make it so the copied entities cover the whole area. |
| ||
| Copy it lots and lots. |

| randomically move a pivot along this "terrain" or ground you wanna populate, the LinePick from it down below to intersect with the ground, and then position a clone of the grass model at the PickedX() Y() Z() and align it with AlignToVector Grass,PickedNX() NY() NZ(),2. Although Copying it is good, perhaps when you reach a big number of grasses you'll begin to notice a slight slowdown. You'll need to employ ways to optimize it (like putting textured quads instead of full meshes for grasses at great distances, and clusters of single-surface meshes). |

This is great advice, I was pondering recently how to go about this very thing recently without slowdown - thanks. |
