I bought the Playground from Renderosity and the grass does not seem to work in Daz Studio. Something about displacement map and settings. I am not up on all this.

Has anyone here bought the Playground and has gotten the grass to look decent in Daz Studio? If so, can you share what you did and the settings for it? Thank you.

Can you show a render of what you get in a render? 

The settings probably won't match, and you'll probably have to manually plug in the displacement map to the grass.  It should be in the same folder with the rest of the textures :)

Hi JenX,

Thanks for responding. I just got the bad news from Richard Haseltine over at Daz 3D.

"I don't see anything promising in the file list, it may be a procedural in which case you'll need to make your own displacement map (though you may be able to mimic the seup in DS 3's Shader Mixer)."

Looks like it's going to be a lot more involved than I thought.

I was hoping that someone here had already worked on this and may have a working solution for Daz Studio.

Delphi,
Sounds like a procedural texture.

Go over to CG Textures. http://cgtextures.com/
Search on Grass - you can find good tiled grass textures there.

Then if you have paint or gimp or similar you can also make a displacement or bmp map that might work very well for you.

Other options are the Bryce Shaders that have been setup to work for D/S that are sold over at DAZ. Also you can look at other ground options you may have with other props that may do what you want.

Cheers

Thanks for the tips. I had put together a something with MicroCosm for the terrain, but I was not able to get it the way I wanted until I found a free set of lawn mats for it. The resources used are a lot more, but it works.

Here is a render of it in Daz Studio 2.3 using Light Dome Pro 2 for the lighting.
