Default Re: Field Grass using Hair and Fur

I made a field of prairie grass using vray fur. I know you want MR but if you have both then theres no reason you cant comp in post. Ive attached a small sample. This was a HUGE field of grass, between viewer and building. Rendered in no time.
Worked great in conjunction with DOF.

I think I am going to try and use the Hair and Fur. I am going to set up a section, then convert it to geometry, and then make it a proxy. Below is a test of where I am at. I will wind up painting a slight orange/red tail on areas in PhotoShop afterwards, but is is slowly getting there.

This image is 900 pixels wide, and rendered in 5 minutes. Which isn't bad, but I don't have the rest of the building in the scene.

I think that if you break the ground plane into smaller planes it will render/ be more memory efficient than one really large plane

The grass tooks great

Just had a play and got some real nice results, and pretty quick! This took about 90secs to render each frame (vlow settings mind you)... the crap at the bottom is just a displacement map.
