Modelling photo-realistic grass in realtime
- by sebf
Hello,
I see a number of tutorials on how to create good looking grasses when creating 3D renders but can't think how to model it for realtime/use in a game's scenery.
Sure simple models with alpha cutouts can be used to create plants and trees in really awesome scenery but what about a lawn?
Are there any good tricks to achieve this effect?
I tried with a simple 4 sided box and a small texture and the number of objects needed for a decent appearance made Max crawl to a halt.
(I am thinking it may be possible with a shader but that is a whole other area so thought I would just ask about anyones experience with modelling it here)
Thanks!
