Grass animation - 3D Environments course

Hello,
I have just rendered the final animation as part of the grass project in the 3D environments course (https://www.udemy.com/course/blender-environments/). It was very fun to learn the different skills especially the Geometry Nodes, a feature I hadn’t used much until now.
The animation on the grass is very simple as is the lighting since this is just a quick animation, the actual grass will be used throughout the course for the other scenes.
Here is the compressed render (to make it under 5mb):

Here is a link to the full quality render: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TZ_qgeY2jUKWvIl_kd219kX1xN7TbcDP/view?usp=sharing

Nice work on the scene @Withers99, was the animation done in Geometry Nodes, you mentioned you learnt a lot about Geometry Nodes so was just wondering?

Yes @Linux404 the animation of the grass was done using geometry nodes, here is a quick screenshot of the node tree if you would like to see it, animation isn’t really part of the course so it is just a quick easy setup. The way it works is I have individual grass strands which are then turned into grass patches, these are then placed onto the terrain object all using geometry nodes, the animation is done on the grass patches.
