Does someone know a program for creating grass for bryce 5?

Make a tree in bryce 5. Make the leaves "bamboo" shape. Make number of leaves 8, and size of leaves 1 or 2. Make the trunk material completely invisible (in the material lab, make transparency 100% and turn on blend transparency.) Then make the leaf material green. Now, duplicate the tree a few times, spread them out into a big clump, and place them all just so they poke out of the ground. Tada!

There is a program that produces grass models out there but I can't find it right now. Maybe someone else has the link.

Here is the freeware that I think Aldaron was talking about. "grass" from Bantam 3D

If you search through the "Free Stuff" section, someone put a material for grass on there quite a while back. Also, you can go to www.3dplants.com and she has one for free, plus a ton of nice plants for free as well!

Bantam is nice, pretty easy to use, but with advanced settings/abilities if you want them. (And it's FREE) 3D Cafe has a few good grass-type meshes; http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/meshes.asp

Grass/foliage is always a lot of fun to mimic in Bryce! Here's an older pic I did a while back trying to make realistic grass.

A grass tut I've used for a non-modelling approach at getting grass into a large field.

Then there's this method.... brief explanation of how the grass was done is in narrative below image.

You can also paint spikes onto a high resolution terrain for a nice mown grass effect
