Spawn leaves on one side of mesh normal

[raddmc]

Hi.
I want to spawn leaf cards on one side of a mesh normals.

The mesh isn’t sealed but it has the correct normals in a blender (outside blue inside red) when imported looking through the normals view it seems to forget that.

It is a bush and I would like to only spawn on the outside to save the poly count. Maybe there is another way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi @raddmc,

You can import your mesh as a Mesh generator and attach a Leaf generator. Then use a generation mode like Flood to populate your mesh. They should populate on the outside, although some of the geometry might stick slightly through the mesh to the back side. Here’s a quick example:

You can also set up projectors.

I hope this helps!
