Meanwhile, I stripped Vahur's scene down to the essentials, i. e. just 
the grass blades and a basic soil... also scaled the grass down to 0.01 
to match my usual measuring of 1 POV unit = 1 metre, replaced the 
original camera by a camera system using direction and azimuth and 
finally increased the number of blades (which are, properly, 
three-partite blades) from originally 30,000 to 300,000.

Now (see attachments) it looks more realistic to me...

In future versions, I would like to use this density (25,000 blades per 
square metre) as standard density and adapt the actual number of blades 
according to the meadow's size.

Of course, this is another attempt at POVghanistan... starting with 
public parks in cities on mostly flat terrain such als Herat or Mazar-e 
Sharif (less difficult to code than mountainous Kabul - and also more 
early "eye candy" for the interested public, such as the famous Timurid 
mosques), and, most important, for the time being, not placed onto an 
actual planetary sphere.

See you in Khyberspace!
