All rendered pretty quickly (before I turned on dof and a slight amount of fog!). 3dmax was using about 2gig of memory during rendering, but I think a fair bit of that was the large white brick texture.

Next I need to try it on a real project..

Yeah ok Peter wins.

Here's my attempt. I went with the "recently mowed" look but I don't think it really worked.

I agree, definitely Peter wins....

Ha, Brett it was your renders of the maxwell forum grass that inspired me to try and do something decent..

this is maybe a bit 'clumpy' and not sure the material/colour is quite right:

Awesome work! Thanks very much for sharing this technique.

Boy I really wish there was a better way to space the scattered things evenly. You can use collision but then it affects everything else when you just want it to affect itself.

More uniform scattering is coming in the next version of VrayScatter. Check this thread out, looks pretty cool.
