Hi All. These are test renders but i like them.
There are four grass models and two flowers used, built in various programs.
Could maybe use more leafy weeds.
Apologies for not posting more on this forum,but time/life and all that. :p
C and C welcome.
YAY Spring! nice!
Nice variety and fairly natural distribution, I think. In the 2nd image it seems like perhaps even more density is needed in the distance though. And I think a bit more height variation might also be good. Not major changes, just fine tuning, as you've got a pretty realistic result already.

Very nice grass mix. Looks very nice. I concur with Oshyan on the distribution in the distance.
Nice! Good job ;)
Good Mix, great realism!!
Thank you for the comments..I will add the changes mentioned.
Great field of grass, very natural indeed. Did you build them yourself?
Thanks Dune.
Yes, I started with the colors, I built maybe twenty or thirty 512*64px colour maps of various greens/yellows and browns. (I had maybe five of these already from a grass file I downloaded a long time ago). I then went to TurboSquid and searched for grasses, picked out a few I liked and copied them. (Was easier than searching google for real images). The color maps are very convenient, as they can stretch in the vertical for stems, or with an opacity map placed under them can become thin leaves.
Really realistic. Great!
Very nice distribution
I agree, very natural looking distribution...well done.
Very interesting approach. I haven't played much with turbo squid grasses, I felt they looked low quality. This proves that wrong.
Though I do have one input, the variegated maps seem mixed with striped. "Striped" plants are Variegated. With bladed grasses and shrubs with elongated straight leafs, it shows up as lines, with leaflets with internal webbing, it ends up patchy. Currently what's marked variegated seems more like a stressed plant.
Thanks guys for the positive feedback.
WASasquatch, I did not know the difference between stripes/variegated....duly noted.I also spelt it wrong it would seem :D
I didn't use the plants from TurboSquid, i just built copies of them. Nice clean reference pictures at TurboSquid. :P

Oh I see! You used the nice expensive oibjects for reference? They are nice! Sorry about the plant input, that's my gardener side haha. I do probiotic all natural gardening.
The flowers here work really well with the grasses. They don't stand at like some flower models do.
Coming back to this I realized I forgot to ask if the grass models were going to be in File Sharing here. They look to be stellar additions if they do.
Hey Bobby. I had thought about that, but end user license malarkey prevents me from doing that with those exact models.
However, I can rebuild them in another program to side step that issue, which I will do in the coming weeks.
My GFX card passed away on Friday,after a short illness, . My computer is working at the moment, but not very usable.
I am currently wading through GFX card reviews and such.
I have some Rock/pebble objects also that I will perhaps upload, depending on the finished quality.
