[SOLVED] Field Spacer limitations

[jlee]

Using Field Spacers to cull grass objects from our roadway.  The grass comes back when multiples Spacers are used within the scene.  Is there a limitation to their use or am I improperly using them?

Hi Joel,

 

How large is your scene and how many Field Spacers are you using? That kind of object designed to hide area from grass (for example, near the large airport) and never intended for the such use-case, I'm afraid.

Using 57 field spacers, large and small.  The area size is roughly 700x400m

Hi Joel,

 

According to our QA guys current limitations of any spacers objects are:

• 8 spacers (Field / Animation) simultaneously in the viewport for single object (with the same Field mask).

So, if you have multiple ObjectGrass instances you can hide up to 8 parts simultaneously for each ObjectGrass instance.

We will check if it is possible to increase that limit in the future.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Field spacer limit will be increased up to 32 spacers objects per mask. Field animation objects limit will remain the same - 8 objects per mask.
