Discussion: Creating Grass in its various ways with 3ds max
-
11 Nov 2007Hey mates,
We will start a animation project here and one of my main problems i have to solve is creating a realistic grass surrounding, which will burn down.
I have worked very often with grass, in different tv commercials and projects. The best way in my oppinion was to use Strykers Method with Gras O matic, for example, which gave wonderful results. Other times I even used Shag Hair for the gras. And later I tried out Pflow with a lof of bended plane opacity grass maps.
Now I want to create something better. Do you know the simpsons trailer with the rabbit? How do they achieve such good results? My problem is if I look from the distance my grass looks ok, but in a close shot, its still to bad!
It would be nice if you could share your experience regarding gras. At the moment my plans aim for a Pflow solution, because ot the maximum control particles are offering. -
13 Nov 2007If you're going for closeup detail, it might be best done by hand, depending how close, any way you look at it, you'll want to model your grass by hand, and then duplicate it either with particles (preferrably, if u want to burn it
) or manually, or with scatter or shag or whatever.
Model the grass with however much detail u want, and maybe do lower quality, polygon n texture wise for the distance shots and for areas that arent viewed up close.
should work a treat. -
