Jesus, sorry about the crappy jpg quality... I have no idea why I couldn't get the file size down. I had to put it to 50% qual in order to get it to 196 kb... It's rediculous, I optimized the pallet, I tried everything. I did a 1024 by 768 render at a higher quality last night,but there was an ugly part. This took 20 minutes to render at default quality.

More info, The round sprouts in the back are all just cloned and rotated off of one object. I used 4 different variations in the front, (4 different tiles with 625 blades of grass each) There are 12 tiles used in the front for a total of 7,500 blades. I just played with the dte to get an interesting texture. The texture on the rocks is bad I know, but I was mainly just testing the grass. In entirety the grass has 800,000 polygons. Not that bad.

Actually, on re-evaluating the grass, there are only 320,000 polygons here. I had the terrain selected too.

Wow!! That has to be the best grass yet. How did you do it? Are you able to animate the grass? :)

Looks great Ornlu! Once again, I love your experimenting!

Hair for grass! Neat Idea! Wonder if it will work the other way around (grass for hair) as well. Thanks Ornlu; a new concept to play around with.
