  Large field of grass

Hey guys!

I'm trying to cover some hills with grass (in POV, our garden is not that
big...). As Gille Tran's MakeGrass only does plane grass patches i'm
searching for an other way to do this.

I wrote a little grass generator (much simpler than MakeGrass). One blade is
one triangle. I'm now wondering if it is better to put this one triangle in
a mesh and place it several times or to put all the blades (quite a lot, ca.
10000*10000) in one mesh. I tried the first method and ran out of my 256mb
RAM, but i think the second one would not save any memory at all.

Or is there another, better solution for large uneven areas of grass?

Thanks a lot
Florian
