I noticed a couple of threads in this and other groups on this server
regarding "grass" (the mowing kind that is). For those who are interested,
here is my method of doing grass.

It uses a mesh object which is then copied several hundred times.  The
result is fairly realistic even with a basic texture. The rendering speed is
also pretty good.

The files attached will create around 4 million blades of grass. I have done
scenes with several hundred million!!!

Please note these files are version 3.0, I have not tried them in 3.1. I may
get to that this weekend, otherwise, any enterprising POVer is welcome to
take my code and do with it what they will!

Regards and Seasons Greetings to all POVers,
