How to use Graswald for Blender 2.80 

It’s too good to ever be free

@@hoodiegamer9256 for its quality 99 dollars aren't that much

@@gwynbleidd9000 true its been a gamechanger

You won't need to buy it again, all of these updates are free.

Hey there, we're currently working on large scale support which will be more performance friendly ;)

Normally with a huge scene I just turn the "display percent" down to 10% or sometimes even 1% you can get an idea of what the scene will look like and continue to work on other parts of the scene without it getting slow. Or just hide all of the grass with the "display modifier in viewport" option.

Same thing, I tried this addon today and after adding the 3rd varient to the surface the memory usage spiked to 5gb

well for grass away from the camera you can just use a png .. or any method that utilizes low poly

You can achieve the same results with the standard Particle systems and a custom asset library.

Please be grateful for the fact that it exists!

We are working on assets optimized for large scale scenes.

kareemalgalaly almost a year later and not a single update. Crazy.

Graswald should do most of the cleanup automatically, saving and reopening cleans the most. The large files could be due to texture sizes. It's on our radar but priority isn't too high

I am also interested in best practice for larger scenes. Maybe tutorial showing how to set up a house yard or an urban park that doesn't kill the computer would be extremely useful to see. Thanks

@@UHStudio Ye that´d be rlly great!

just get a quantum computer😁

im not sure if it was this add on but one grass add on i saw in a compilation had a a feature that would make blender show only the grass that is visibile for the camera and would let the other particles disappear.

I know it's an old thread, but this is coming very soon with the large scale update.

3D Modelling makes a 1660 look so outdated lmao i have a 1660 Super but planning on getting a 3080 once theyre back in stock probably next year

Guys I have a 1650, imagine what I am going through :(

LoL I have a GT 710. I AM JUS WATCHING VIDS BASED ON BLENDER. I WISH I HAVE A GOOD PC

I have a 1050 with 2gb 😶😶

I have a mac....

Same here

It will never happen. They're hiding behind the fact that they can't make anything look photoreal! That's why were not getting in-depth TUTs about in cycles. Very poor attempt at misleading their customers

@@mrfeathers3938 Are you sure about that? They already look pretty damn good on Eevee. If you still find them lacking in Cycles, you can tweak to your gusto. This tool still vastly speeds up your workflow. Also, these are supposed to be on the Background, not right in front of the camera.

@@mrfeathers3938 wtf? i tested it with cycles it looks insane.

He does. Just not as much as you're used to. How do you not notice that?

We're currently working on better large scale support, that will make it a lot easier to scatter larger amounts more optimized.

Not yet, but that's a cool suggestion! We'll think about it ;)

same here. i thought it was happening only with me. I'm using the demo version.

A tutorial on how to include the Grass Essentials is already in the making, so stay tuned :D

There you go ;) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sK-T92pmZyk.html

There's the fluffy white thing for dandelions, but cotton is not one of the species in graswald

same prob here

maybe your normals are reversed?

Shift N the plane

It is version 2.0, you can get it from both, Blender Market and Gumroad, simply login to your Gumroad account and redownload.

@@GraswaldThank you for your answer. Maybe my memory is distorted because I couldn't find Graswald at all in the "library". I checked on Paypal and I found a 79$ payment to CGcookie, with a support mail to BlenderMarket so I'm really confused now. I send them a mail, I guess I need to retrieve that BlenderMarket account that I have absolutely no memory of x) haha omg

@@Graswald Sorry to bother again, so after being helped by the support I finally recovered my purchase online, so I download it again as required. Now I installed it and it says "version 1.2", am I mistaken again ? The files inside the "Graswald for Blender" ZIP seems all dated to 10/11/2019 so it's probably the right ones, but as you just stated "version 2.0" now I'm confused if I have the right version or not x) That said, I just made a quick test and it works well so far. And I feel that it's way faster than before ! :o I like that. It was worth waiting for the 2.80 version in the end :)

@@tetsuooshima832 That's the right one.

in the blender market after I have purchased this, there are two download options, Graswald for Blender 2.79 and Graswald for Blender...... when I downloaded graswald for blender, there is no zip file.... but the only other option is graswald for blender 2.79 yet I'm in 2.81..... I don't want an old version of your add on

@@mrfeathers3938 this looks like the contents of the zipped folder... Perhaps you unzipped it into your downloads?

Figured it out: you have to Render Tab>Lock Interface

For the current graswald, that is really heavy. We are working on variants optimized for larger scenes though, and that should make scenes of that size more usable (currently if you have a nice machine you can kinda work with them, but the viewport gets really slow). And you may have vram issues rendering on gpu.

The mtree add on does that and it’s free!

Have you tried it in chrome? Did you enter your email and name?

@@Graswald worked! thanks. im impressed. it looks good. but yeah as many mentioned - performance friendly feature would be cool - something like lower testure res,less faces or make the grass that isnt visible for the camera disappear like an add on for unity does...

@@saikopiratos Hey there, we're currently working on that, follow us on facebook to get the latest news: fb.me/graswald

Maybe... ;)

me to

Na

No, just redownload wherever you bought it ;)

Graswald thanks!

Graswald can export to fbx, or you can use any of blender's export tools, but you will need to reconstruct the materials. Graswald's export fbx puts all the needed textures with the fbx file.

same . when i move viewport it become slow .i really want to know why and how to fix it

There's a free version on the website

haha :)

For one of the best grass solutions for 3d software. GrowFX costs 325$ for example

You mean similar to a stream? Good idea, we'll try to implement that next time!
