Munz Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 After playing with the new hair and fur tool for about 2 minutes to create grass I came up with this. renderingd in seconds... Pretty great from someone who has never been happy with any grass creation techniques... tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Have you been able to get shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munz Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 It does shadows... these were rendered in about 30 seconds, don't have a scene I am working on right now that needs a lot of grass...Im just saying I like it, just my opinion tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihabkal Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 they seem to take much longer to generate and render when yo uhave a regular project. and they crash sometimes. in a mini scene like that they render great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munz Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Here is a more serious example using the hair and fur modifier...(grass modifier)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 That's great Tom, 'can't wait to try them myself... But what if you have a "big-fully-textured house" with some details? How is it gonna affect the rendering time? 2x, 3x longer? Can you post some example? I'm happy that max have this modifiers...I love making grass.

mhinks Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I had'nt installed 7.5 yet, but I really like the grass with the balls. Any chance of some scene details? What are the render times like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Been doing some testing here and it really doesn't get much slower with the grass. The only problem I found is that you can't see the grass thru an opacity map and they don't cast any reflections. Other than that, just great!

The grass is a post process it seems, to the scene renders out and then grass is added after the image is rendered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward80 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 hello, am currently writting a tutorial on how to create a realistic grass ( also apply on hair & fur) using earlier versions of 3dmax like 5 or 6 , & it would give u way better results than using the fur modifier...but it will take more time for sure...i will upload it within a week....

dexter Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 hi edward...that would be a nice tutorial. I'll be waiting for it...hope you can post it sooner. I always want my grass to look realistic. but I hope it wont take so much time to render. and also if you can make your tutorial more beginner-friendly, so me and the other guys out there will benefit alot... thanks...
