Kwistenbiebel's grass component

[cheffey]

I think I saw this method posted over on the Maxwell site last year. I never thought of combining the two images to create native sketchup version. Thanks Gaieus.

Anyway, here are the guys who posted the tutorial:

And the PDF link for Maxwell.

And the texture bundle over at the MXM Gallery.

Thanks Cheffey, yes, I know the "way" to create these grass (or practically any other clipped) materials - actually I use the method in Kerky as well. Still a useful link for those who don't know it.

Unfortunately your first link does not work since the site is Flash based and it always keeps showing the root directory (not an effective method for SEO).

For the material bundle I should register. Is it worth it when I don't even use that particular program?

Thanks Csaba, this is much nicer than the grass clipmap I already had for SU.
Has a really nice look to it.

I really like this grass. Can you give a bit more information on the steps taken to make it?

hello people!
really loved this grass, so i decided to make it easier to throw over a large surface, making it dynamic! simply scale it with the scale tool, density is editable as an option in the component's option dialog

Hey thanks a million mate!!!!!

Hey is there a chance the lower grass tile can be positioned as say a 1m square and also repeated?

[Gaieus]

This is really cool Thanks!

(although I seem to have overkilled my machine by trying to stretch the component to the horizon)
