Very nice developments!  I'll certainly be taking a look at the file when you get it up there.

Yea, I only did that to keep it as simple as possible.  I did like your approach. 

I am also trying to keep "surfaces" in the same format so they are modular.

I try to keep everything eventually ending up in a surface layer.

No prob Seth.  You may want to see how far you can get with it without it crashing.  It might be crashing due to the reflectivity, but reflectivity adds to the realism.

i can't go very far with this great fake grass... it crashed as soon as i try a bigger render (or as soon as i try to add a tree...)
we'll see later... but it's really a good job !

dhavalmistry

hey moodflow...its seems to be working on my end here....

I am rendering the grass right now and its halfway through....

it is a cropped render upto the terrain, from bottom....

these are the render settings I used...

800 x 600
atmo: 40
detail: 0.5
AA: 15
GI: 1,1

I will let this render complete and try a higher res after (if this doesnt crash)

keep your fingers crossed ;)

Dhaval,

Keep us posted.  I'd love to see this in a higher resolution.

ok here it is....it did manage to render without crashing....but I dont know what those lines are...

I did not crop the render....it was rendered in one shot....so those cant be crop lines.....

actually I also had another render going on while this was rendering....I dont know why it keeps crashing on your computers....

anyways....I am going to try a higher quality render now....

will report with any progress!....

Dang, that is too bad about those lines. If you can get this to work it would be a fantastic way to make very realistic looking grass. And maybe even populate grass for an entie plant. :o Keep it up!
