Grass

[ossossso]

Hi everybody!
I'd like to recreate a little field with grass, and let the grass move under wind forces.
I've yet recreated the plane with the Sculp Tool; now what do you raccomend me? Fur or Paint effects? The field isn't very little, so in both way rendering appears to be long... then I noticed that Fur Dynamics are changed. Have you got any advice or link to some tutorial that could help me to achieve the scope?

Thank you very much! :)

its been a while but I founf paint FX to work well. DT has a Paint FX kit.

ehm... so do you advice me to use Paint Effects?

With either choice, a field of grass can take a long time to render. You can break it up based on your camera shot. So the area up close can be paint effects while the area in the distance can be planes with animated textures of the paint effects.

I agree with Sunder. Also, you can duplicate the PaintFX animated sequence in a compositing software like AfterEffects. It's totally worth it, cuts time and the outcome is just as good, if done properly.
