Particle grass

I’m trying to get decent particle grass. It have to render fast enough to use this in animation.
Here is my try:

Render time in 640x360x5AA is about 7 minutes on my Barton 3200. Pretty good, but still need some work.
Now I have to work on wind and collision detections with moving objects. Just have to add some guides and setup this :wink:

That’s probably the best looking grass I’ve seen done in blender so far. Is it possible to see a wire of that tree for learning purposes?

Tree is made with L-System script. Nothing special :wink:

Very lovely grass. I like the variation you have going on there.

This is the best grass I’ve seen yet! Lots of natural variation.
How do you plan to do the collision detection? I didn’t think Blender 2.41 did deflection with static particles.

Dam! I can’t grass to look that good. What did you use? the fiber script with lots of self adjusting?

he said he used particles…

as far as “the best looking grass”, I have my doubt. This looks very good, but it depends on the style you want. It looks kinda cartoonish at the moment because some section are oversaturated (imho).

Althought, it’s looking really nice, so depending on what style you are working with, it might work perfectly!

This is very good.
I’d like to see an animation with wind.
P

looks great! looks a hair fuzzy/soft, but i really like it. Could you post the technique that you used to make it?

I’m gona make tutorial about hair/grass but first I need do animation and collision detection.

I like it because it looks kind of unnatural. It’s all bunched up and looks partially like fur. Very cool.

thanks, ill be looking out for that tutorial

tutorial yes…

Really great grass. I’m agree for a bit oversaturation of green, but it’s ok if it’s for a more cartoon movie.
Becarrefull if you use wind of your statique cloud background.

I made test with my grass and wind and sphere deformation. It’s work well, but very hard to configure a mouvement for the wind strange to have a elastic look like grass.

If you make a tutorial on how to obtain a " real looking grass in the wind " I would be curious to see your ZSize curve Ipo of the wind object.

Great work ! 5 stars for me

I’ve made some animation test with wind and rolling Suzanne :slight_smile:

You have to close popup flash to see download link.

wow man the anim test looks cool, however the grass semms more to twitch then flow you know?

Could you post a larger render of the original image, please? If you don’t, that’s okay too. I’ll just use the one you already posted as a background.

EDIT:The grass looks like it’s a bunch of tenticles trying to eat Suzanne.

I love the grass, about being overly green, grass can be that green if it was say, after a good rain but you mainly see that in yards, i’d say add a small hint of yellow to make the color more realistic.

WOW!!!

Is there any chance of that grass tutorial???
Even is it’s only wit text?!!!

PLEASSSSSEEEEEE!!!

and great great pic btw!

I just get bombarded with adds and then asked to download plugins… for the grass movie…
