Re: [Fwd: Fwd: How do we achieve this in XSI?]

you're welcome adrian.
I don't know exactly about your effect because I lost the beginning of 
the thread.
but when you combine all these tools it can be extremly powerful.

matthieu did all the hair animation with weightmaps on this one :

I used the gradient weightmap to texture all the trees on this one (it's 
so dark that nobody see it :) )

If I find some time I could detail some examples more precisely.
