Grass solutions

[YoyoBoy]

Just wondering what options are out there for doing grass. Can Multiscatter be used to make grassy lawns? VRayFur doesn't seem to work at all on large areas, but the Autograss demo breezes through it.

Thanks.

I think the most commonly used are multiscatter and forest (lawns can easily be done even with forest lite), at least they seem to be by people here on the forums..

Autograss is great, the main drawback is the price (expensive) and the support as i heard (not very responsive ?). But it generates good looking grass very very easilly.
I use Forest which is great also but a little more tricky to setup. And i don't think you can make grass on non-planar surfaces with forest lite.
Have fun !

I' talked to someone recently that did an entire football (soccer) field with vrayfur and it rendered in under 20 minutes in HD. (In Cinema 4d though.)

I have never come close. I know I'm probably doing something wrong though.
