Ok. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for the creation of realistic grass for both stills and animation. It always looks like bumpy ground when I do it. Excuse me if I am asking the obvious. Thanks people!!

hm, I don't know what version of Vue you have, I have Pro5, I just use, for close up work the grass plant item, multiplied say 10 or 12, saved as an object then replicated in scene as need. It works very nice! :) only had Vuew for 3 weeks so far from expert!

grass is one of the things tho that both i and numerous users has asked e.on to improve, sure it works as is but it realy woudnt hurt with a better grass implementation in vue, considering its strong scenery landscape implementation.

There used to be an excellent, free programme called Bantam 3D that created grass, but it seems to have disappeared. Does anybody know if it's still available?

Renamed, but still available: http://www.grass3d.com/grass/index.htm

There is also an excellent tutorial on creating grass from a terrain by Lars.

Yeah, I gotta tell you, the Lars approach is really great... I tried it and got amazing grass in no time that took no time to render...

Thanks for the link to Grass3d. Looks like an excellent tool. Also there are 2 other free progs which may be of use there: Hairdo which generates hair (exportable as obj) and Scatter, which does what it says and scatters objects within a defined space using alpha and bump maps for precise positioning. And best of all, they are all FREE.

Im sorry if you all know about these and Im just repeating it, but thought it worth pointing out to new users.

Will have a play with these when I have time and post any results.

I have been playing with Grass3D for a short while and this is what I came up with. A bit of texture tweaking would help, but overall happy with the results. Great piece of free software :-) combine this with the excellent grass tutorial from Lars...the possibilities are endless

That looks pretty good - off to download that Grass3D program.

In the 'Backroom/free software' here (see link at top of page)there are more useful applications including the grass maker.

yep grass3d is a nice free resource but just imagine how nice it would be if vue actually had a proper grass editor(better plant editor in other words).
