I v'e added young Samuals grass to a hf. I'm not happy about the dark bits.
I think there are due to the grass being rotated side on.  I'll try some
different pigment patterns. I'll try gradient x with some turbulence tonight
to see if I can get that puff of wind blowing across the grass effect.

BTW this one took 8 and a half hours  - 6 to parse 3 to render.  There are
600,000 blades of grass!

That's due to the bumps pattern he used. I don't like it much. I'm thinking
of modifying the macro to make this optional and user-definable. (Oh, great,
more parameters. ;)

Wow... You'd better be careful, your hard drive might give out any minute. I
cringe when mine thrashes for over 1 hour. BTW, I'm going to post an
announcement in .general. Go check it out.

  Hey cool!  Color this brown, throw on a trunk and huge tusks and the 
mighty mammoth walks the earth again!  <smile>

This is nice.  What I think it needs though is a larger scale to the shifted
directions, more like large waves of wind across it.  As it is here the
changes are close together.  Of course I'm thinking of fields of hay and not
grass so not so sure how that would be different.
About the colors :-) you could go with more yellow-green or blue-green for
different grasses, this color seems right in the middle of those, green.  Just
sticking my opinion in.

Yes you are right about the colour. These are experiments and my usual
method is to leave colour to last so that I can get the overall balance
right.
I've just started messing with different pigment patterns and I'm having
real problems creating the right effect. I think its due to the rotation of
the grass blades, when they are side on they virtually dissapear and there
seems to be great holes in the grass. I haven't yet found a combination of
pattern and rotation that works.
