      Here is my second pass at it. 45 min render time on this one.

        From my years of experience , if your surface is not

        1. A golf course
        2. A straight large plane with little bits of curve

        Then

        Go for make fur plugin. Its works well with short and small corners, giving it that realistic look

        Below are some attachments.

        This took 2 mins to render. Not sure why you took 45mins

        Without VRay

        Afer Vray and plugin --->

        Vray with Fur plugin

          Fur is great, but I have issues trying to fur an entire front lawn.

            True. The trick is to only place grass from where you intend to render, Hence in this photo there is no grass/fur plugin used(Behind the house) since that plane is hidden. ➑

              What we really need is VRay Fur inside of SketchUp!

                unfortunately, the scale is way off there. That's much coarser than real grass. To get it fine enough, you would run out of memory pretty quick.

                  I have to agree with Andy on this one. The only way to really render grass is proxies or something like VRayFur. Watch this and dream of having these abilities one day in SU!
