=== Painting ===

If you want more control over the placement you can add weight paints to the Particle Settings, use the settings below; "Group" being the vertex group that will be used to paint the grass onto the surface. After you set this up, you can now begin painting.<gallery mode="packed" widths="360" heights="200">

Once you're ready to export, make sure to go back to your Particle Emission Settings and reduce the Hair Length to 0, then go to '''File > Export > Meta Instancer (.mti)''' and finally name and export your MTI file.
