Mnnn smells good :)
suggestion: soil fertility based on pigment determining color and growth.

Looks very nice.
Something that I've been experimenting with using GT's grass macro is to
create a set of green grass, and then a set of dead grass within it, by
simply making them both occupy the same space. The end result seems to look
much more realistic. Probably by adding some yellowish, some brown, etc.,
the realism could even be enhanced further.
I could post an example, if I can ever figure out how to get my newsreader
working... :-/

thats a good idea. it seems shorter, young blades of grass are whitish-green
in color. the random length that is in this macro would be accentuated with
color variation, i think.

Looks very nice. How many triangles per blade of grass?

Who said anything about triangles =) Each blade is a union of four cones, I
plan on changing it to meshes however, cones were easier to implement at
the time.

Try sphere_sweeps. It would be slow but look great!

Very nice. What's the memory usage?
