I've managed to add turbulence to the grass texture without wrecking the 3d
illusion.

Besides that I've tweaked the color and thickness of the blades of grass.

That's it basically...

Now working on making an include file out of it.

    This is astounding, to think that this is a texture and not a mesh or
something!

This definetely looks better!
Though I still think that placing objects on that sort
of grass looks a little odd. It is good all by itself,
but if there is some possibility, you should look if
you can get something with transparent layers to
make objects "fade" into the grass.

But those matters aside, it looks terrific!

Hmm...  Looks VERY good! :)

Am I wrong, or could this technique also be used to simulate fur?

Thanks! :)

No, it would require me to have access to the normal of a surface inside a
function, just as I currently have access to the intersection point. :(

I was about to say that! It just needs scaling to be smaller (I think)

trace() can give normal vectors

But I can't use trace() inside a function, now can I...! ;)
