Looks nice, but it's somewhat too blurry. The rest of the image is so sharp that it makes the grass stand out.

Thanks for your reply Thom.
Now that you've mentioned it does look blurry :

Here's an update

Re: Grass- what's Your opinion

I prefer the first one. Although it is a little blurry, the scale is better than the second one.
OK - now you are going to reveal how its done? I would say this is Micha's grass technique - am I right?

Re: Grass- what's Your opinion

Yes David you're right, It's Micha's method with a touch of photoshop brush.

Here's link to the brushes that I've used, btw they're free.

I like the reflections on the second floor windows, i notice that glass actually looks wavy like that.

Re: Grass- what's Your opinion

Thanks. I got it to work a little bit, what settings did you use? Mine still looks like partition glazing or some sort of frosted glass.

Re: Grass- what's Your opinion

Did you enter that grass using photoshop or as an image overlay in sketchup? Im kind of new to texturing things and im trying to find the best way to add things such as grass, pavement and siding that pops out and doesn't come off as a flat image.

Re: Grass- what's Your opinion

Hey Joe,
Sorry for the late reply, i've been busy lately. Here's Noise settings: size 50, Frequency 5. that's it, it's not ideal and i think it depends on the units you're using in SU also you might want to play with it a bit.
Best regards

Hey skunny,
Grass is defiantly an important area in ext. renders. I used Micha's technique, you can read and learn about it here. It's tought on vray for rhino but it's the same.
