i'll make it wuick. give it a dim blueish purple light zoom out a bit and like
H.E. Day said give it a dim sky sphere using some gradients and clouds of some
kind but just so you cna barely see it and then add one of several random image
maps to the grass some helathy some not make the grass more dense and make it
sway like waves with the wind :) that should take you a few days

It actually has a radius 1000 sphere with a sky. Is it too dim, then?

good.


Yeah, I just remember that grass does that while looking out the window of
my university at the playing field.

Or does it not have a pigment supplied? :)

Way to go Tony! I like the feel of this image. Makes me want to take a walk out
into the grass and down the valley... too bad there are no grassy valleys close
to here (darned suburban communities).

I think the image could use moon and starlight instead of the big unnatural one.
Yes, a nice, soft moonlight would be most excellent!

It might be too dim. I only got to see it after maxing
the gamma settings on my video card. After that it did
look nice, like dusk on the prariees.

I want you guys to know that I am done with this scene, but due to a power
outage early this morning, my rendering, already into its second day, ended.
I will re-render with lower quality or something, so expect an image by
tomorrow (I hope).
