Hawk UK Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm currently in the process of learning just what X-Plane 10 is capable of from a developers point of view.....Can anyone tell me wether X-plane is capable of rendering "Hair/Fur", or are we limited to "Texture" based detail only during the rendering process?Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Regards,Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I suspect you're talking about grass when you speak of hair/fur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk UK Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) I suspect you're talking about grass when you speak of hair/fur?Hi, Redfisher....Yes, indeed I am thinking mainly about the rendering of realistic grass, other than having to use textures..... Or the combination of the two techniques to keep the load down a little. Edited October 18, 2012 by Hawk UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm talking about using the 'Partical' system to generate grass, and was wondering if X-Plane 10 has a partical generator integrated into it's graphic engine or not?

Redfisher Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 No, XP cannot render fur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk UK Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks for that, Redfisher..... As there is very little up to date info(Or should I say totally disorganised info) wether it be manuals or how-to's, I'm relying on the experienced dev's and my own research to know exactly what X-Plane 10 is capable of....I thought this was the case, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
