Thinking about doing some scenes outdoors and I need some good grass and stuff . I was wondering if anyone had used Fink's plants, meadows.. grass. I'm going for a darker fantasy type atmosphere.

edit to add I have bryce 6.3 but haven't played much with it. I also have PoserPro 2010. I see these weeds can be used in either program. I'm not sure which one I will use yet for these scenes. Any input is appreciated.

I have some of the flowers and medows, I dont do much with rendering, but they were very nice. They do add up though if you are doing a large scene. (poly's and render time.)

I've used Flink's Instant Meadows. Works as advertised. They're fairly resource efficient, given how mesh plants eat up polygons. Flink arranged the grass blades so that a patch does not show obvious square edges, so you can just scatter a few patches here and there.

Oh, that's nice to know! It may be one of those things I have to let render overnight or while I'm at work. I'm eyeing the Terradome set at Renderosity... it looks nice and if these don't have square edges, maybe I could mix and match alot.

Try this purely node-based shader for grass - based on something BB posted ages ago. It renders nice and fast and looks pretty good on just about everything I've used it on.

EDIT: my units are set to METRES in my prefs, so adjust the displacement value accordingly (in this example displacement is 2 inches).

Decreasing / increasing the displacement value does what you'd expect, making the grass shorter or longer.

That's cool. I guess the shaders would transfer over to a rough landscape too?

Oh, I see.. so it's more a lawn. :)

Yes, insofar as the grass stands straight up; but I've used it on irregular surfaces successfully.

I'll keep that in mind. Could be very useful. Thanks, Cspear!

cspear: what ".obj" did you you to put this "node-based shader" on. I cant seen to get it to work on anything I try

I've found this really useful for making a carpet with some depth. Keep the height below 1cm unless you want a deep shag pile. I also simplified the the diffuse colour down to one cloud node.

Should work on Hi-res square prop or any other surface
