I'm having trouble with making a city. I have a proceduralmaterial, and I went to the advanced material editor. Then I clicked on TYPE and went on ecosystem. Then I added three buildings from the objects menu, and I increased the presence settings. Then I clikced populate, and nothing happened. O instances. Where did I go wrong? Any help?

What are you building your ecosystem on? It won't populate on the ground plane, for example, because it's an infinite plane. Try using the plane object in the primitives objects and make sure it's scaled large enough.

Hi One of the most common mistakes when first testing EcoSystems is to either try creating the EcoSystem on an Infinite plane (as mentioned), or trying to populate beneath another object. I recommend creating a small plane (not infinite), then add a handful of objects, and then play around with density, presence, decay near foreign objects etc. Here's the sort thing I like playing around with for fun >8o) Kind regards

if you'e got photoshop use save for web and reduce the pic to less than 100 k quality then save it as a loqual version. type a message in this box at the end of the list of messages and hit the browse button, find your pic, simple as that. Love esther
