Grass

Is there any way to create grass without a plugin and making each and ever blade of grass singly?

:-?

maybe there’s a way to do it with the particle system, but I don’t know if it works. I hope someone has an idea.

You could probably do it with static particles somehow… or, if you want more detail :
Make a single blade of grass.
Add a grid.
Put the grass blade in the centre of the grid, parent it to the grid (select the grass blade, shift+select the gird, press ctrl+p).
Deselect everything, then select the grid.
Goto the animations screen (F7) and press “dupliverts”.

You should now have a grid covered in identical blades of grass.

Hope this helps !

Wouldnt that bog my computer down

466mhz
128mg ram

OOH! babY!
i’m in the power laughs

More RAM is more important than processor speed…

Yea, but i’m using up all my RAM slots >.<

Mmmh I don’t have that problem with 512 mb ram :smiley: (just joking) Just sell the 128 mb card an buy one of 256 mb maby that will fix the problem.

Turn to page 35 of tutorial guide 02 :smiley:

It shows you how to use static particles with Halo mats and tex with IPO curves to shape leaves on pot plants.
