Wdupre - thanks for the heads up on that. I'd have hated to get too far into making a texture for the  field, just to find that out! I've tried several different ways of doing it,and I've found that using noise displacement on the primitive cloth plane prop works best. It makes it look like my characters are standing on astroturf. Ioriginally wanted it to look like natural grass, but all-in-all the astroturf look is really good! Thanks for the help everyone.
