wouldn't distance-dependent grass be better on render times?  like if
the quality stuff was up front, then not so good, but faster, ending
with a regular texture far out?  is there a not-so-good grass macro?  or
are they all made for close up inspection?  i've seen trees that are
supposed to be used far away, but not grass.

for the current image, how high up are you from the grass and what is
the length of the grass?  oh, and how far out does it go? (just trying
to get a perspective here)  also, is it one patch of grass or several? 
is it possible to selectively smash down certain areas of the grass;
like alien landing sites in crops or the shape an animal makes when it
lays down?  and what are the units you use?  can you make the light and
dark areas (wind?) more smooth or are you stuck with what you get? 
thanks.
