Grass, NO not the kind you smoke!

[THINKTANK]

Basicly I've got some grass and I've got "scatter" to multiply the strands of grass to 3ds max "max" of 65k. If I try to make another scatter and try to render it usually comes up with a warning or it crashes to desktop. Any clues Ideas? or is there a better way of making grass, and dont say shag fur

thanks

vray Displacement ... ... search for grass on the forum .. and sheep..

[percydaman]

you can also use vray fur.

[natty]

but then you start using lots poly's ..

[percydaman]

of course. cant be any worse then his scatter approach though.

lol thanks, I'm not a complete newbie, And I know many people use that process, Where can I get Vray fur?

thanks for replies tho

[percydaman]

its in the 1.45.xx test build. If your a vray advanced owner, you should be able to download it. go to create, and hit dropdown and choose vray. youll find vray proxy, vray fur there.

try using shag: f........DOH!!!
hahahah

Yeah go for the displacement trick, it works really well. Or you can try ornatrix http://www.ibmr.net/Ornatrix/ it does fairly decent grass.
For a recent project of mine i did use Shag: Fur and it did the job very well.

If you want some great grass textures for use with VrayDisplacement check out this link ^_^
