Well, I really hate asking you folks for help, but I keep getting stumped with silly things. I have my terrain loaded into DBPro (5x5 qauds). all the qauds are placed together, skybox in place, sunlight in place, all is good so far.. but i ran into a problem. i want to instance grass models i created in PlantMagik. When i instance my models, 2 results im not happy with, but cant find any resources to guide me through this. 1) my grass models do not line up propperly with the terrain (some do, but the terrain is bumpy, and those that do not, go under or above the terrain model) and 2) all my grass models have a blue outline. i set the alpha mapping on them, and object transparency, and it still comes out with a blue outline. if anyone could point me in the right direction to solve one or both of these issues it would be of great help.

I think you should set the transparency mode to 4 or 6 to get rid of the blue edges. About the height difference, you would want to position the grass instances at such y-positions that they appear directly above the ground object.
How to go about this depends on what your ground solution is, but it most often boils down to the intersect object command, that will return the distance to intersection with a specified object of a ray projected between two coordinates. Search around for it and you should find quite a few threads describing this.

Hope that helps

i got rid of the blue lines by coloring the backdrop black. i had already set the transparency prior to posting. im going to look that command up though and read up on it. sounds like what im looking for. much thanks for the info.

Check out the EPR loader I linked to in your other thread, it will make it so what you see in T.Ed is what you get in DBP.
