@bruno
I suggested doing natural stuff like this on march because of Earth Day so hopefully he’ll do it then.

Hey Andrew

May you can recreate this tutorial in Blender 2.5x with a higer resolution of the video, so we can see the values you selected.

In the instructions for animating the grass, what do you mean by “Add an empty at one end of the grass plane”?

Nothing visible happens when I press “i” and select Loc, and
also, when I press Alt+A, all that happens is my cursor turns into a little black box with white numbers inside and counts up without stopping. The instructions tell you what to do, but not why you’re doing it.

The narrated video is great though, but the unnarrated instructions with cropped screens leave you in the dark if you’re not sure what to do.

Can you please add subtitle or close caption to your video or provide another video that include it? I have hard of hearing disability and struggling to learn from most of your videos. Please and thank you.

Hey, great tutorials.
I’ve only had one problem, when I do the ‘Subdivide Multi Fractal’ step it’s dividing my plane but not creating a hilly terrain as it is only moving vertices along the x and y planes not the z plane so my finished plane after smoothing is a flat plane with rough edges.
How can I fix this?
Thx

as people have said in the previous posts, this is the best grass tutorial that i have come across in any 3d modeling platform i have worked with. My question is…. is there a way to shorten the length of the gras so that it is not so tall. thank you for any help!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the great tutorial. Just two small remarks:
1). 8000 * 150 is not 120.000 but 1.200.000
2). The children particles aren’t really “faked”, but rather use the settings of the parent (therefore not needing much CU time) and then have their own variation (depending on settings). Also, 10 children to 1 parent means 11 particles in total. So in this tutorial you have 8000*150 children PLUS 8000 parent particles.

The children are also used to “clot” strands together (there are multiple patterns you can achieve), as real hair would do for example.
