Question about VUE (mostly for SOLO)

21D · 19 Feb 2010, 05:51

Hi there to one and all reading this...
i recently been playing with VUE, but sadly enough i have not been able to make a lawn style of grass, every type i've seen are tall grass and some sort of wild grass, but have not been able to even find a tutorial to make short green lawn grass in VUE, is there someone (SOLO that's you ) who could help me out with this??

Try Incredibly Lush Grassy Places bundle at Cornucopia3D - in addition to tall grasses, it has a cut lawn.

It's a shame Vue don't have a community like SCF.
I find it is pretty difficult getting questions answered with the product.

Dylan, I don't think anyone has a forum like SCF. I'm always amazed how questions are answered so quickly, how much help is offered here, the contributions of the great script writers, and how much that I've learned here. Sorry for the off topic.

Vue also has a displacement option. You can use a normal grass texture with a displacement map connected to it in the function editor. Set materials to object parametric. ( otherwise displacement will be off )
Hope this helps. And the grassy places pack is a good option to.

Look here for a quick lesson. You can substitute any kind of grass. Be sure to also read two posts down.

Rachid, post an image of the type of grass you are in need of and I may be able to help, I have so many differnt types so if you can narrow it down it will make it easier.

You can foresee the future?

I can even predict the past :-), but with less reliance

nope it's not a VUE render, if i'm not mistaken it's a 3DS max render
and yes it's most definitely is a render, a very incredible render in a mater of fact
you can visit Daniel's site here

the thing is, i have seen lawns (grass) rendered like this not only on the net, but have seen a couple of your own render i think with incredible outcome from VUE... so if you have anything resembling that, i would really appreciate it, or even a small tutorial on how to make a lawn on terrain
