I would like to grow grass in the joints of pavement, so for this I connect an image texture to the density of a distribute points node, with color ramp and multiply for finetuning. Whatever I try, the density doesn't seem to get influenced by the texture.

density from texture (doesn't get this to work)

Connecting the texture to the instance scale works as expected, I just cannot get the density to work. What am I overlooking here? Any help is deerly appreciated.

    $\begingroup$ Hmmm... looks like density is defined per face, which should be documented, to say the least. $\endgroup$
