grass on plains

probably the best thing to do is to go out and find a field of grass that hasn't been mown for a while and take a picture then comp it in with PS.

 

There was a thread here a while ago with a large zip file with heaps of great grass photos but after searching for it I just cant find it.

 

Perhaps someone has it bookmarked...

 

good luck!

I would use proxies and Forest Pro 3.

Make the ground from two horizontal planes.

 

Place a plane with the grass material about one inch above a plane with the dirt/earth material.

 

Move vertices of the grass plan down in the Z axis in the areas you want exposed as dirt.

 

Use soft selection and/or a mesh smooth modifier to ease the transition between the dirt and grass areas.

try use GroundWiz, google it, its a good plugin for making ground cover maps, then convert map to B/W and use it for displace grass.

To create such a effect i add a custom created opacity map of grass blades to a gradient material of grass. than apply it to a plain and spread it randomly over the area.
