Hair and grass?

Im wondering if there is a way to get hair and grass particles to work in the game engine

or do i have to use another method ?

Hi,

I was afraid of that lol, It looks pretty good but it has the same issue i had with hair which is you can only see one side so if someone goes past the grass then turns around its not visible. extruding fixed the hair problem but isnt fixing the grass.But I will fiddle with the grass planes a bit i might find a fix to the problem.

Thank you

but it has the same issue i had with hair which is you can only see one side

The default is one side, but you can set the faces of your mesh to ‘Two-side’.

In 2.5 you have to change ‘Blender Render’ to ‘Blender Game’ in the top info header. Then when you go to edit mode with an unwrapped mesh new tools appear in your ‘Object Data’ properties. Two-side is one of those

ok i checked and its already set to flipped vertex and double sided and still only seeing one side in the game engine,not sure if thats what your talking about.

No, that’s not the same. ‘Double sided’ is shown in the default Blender Render.

For the ‘Two-side’ option you have to follow the steps I mentioned.

  • change Blender Render to Blender Game
  • go to edit mode
  • press U to unwrap or add an UV texture layer if the object doesn’t have this yet

You will see new options appear under ‘Texture Face’

ok i whent to texture face but it didnt show anything so im not sure if im in the right place so heres a pic

if this is wrong then can you post a pic of it?

ok nvm i found it lol i was way off thought you ment in the render settings then i check object data agian and it was right there and its working now,

thankyou you help me alot,

Maybe i am missing the point:
if you just need a plane with an image appearing on both sides, in the game engine, why not bring in the image with the “import image as a plane” ? it does all the work for you and you can edit the plane after importing…
