Limiting Grass Placement?

[PowderBB3D]

Just a simple question:

 

Is it possible to mark patches of dirt as immune to the grass/brush/bush placement routine? I'm having some issues keeping bushes out of marketplaces, tents, and gardens that should have plain dirt floors (stamped into the white path texture of course).

 

Thanks.

in most games we call these Deco-layers on terrain.

 

In some games, its a color-coded layer of terrain that is painted depending on what you want where. In unreal2004 and 3 you just use a brush and paint the ground with whatever mesh you want to grow there, pretty fun.

 

not sure how Gamebryo-engine does its grass if each is a placed mesh or whatnot, i would imagine its a similar setup since it would take forever to do em by hand.
