Yowzah! Looks great! Much better than that XP BS.
Now put a ladder or stairway down the left side, and a deckchair and
umbrella on the "deck" and advertise it as a vacation rental ;-)

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised that the grass looks this good in close up since I
originally wrote it for more distant shots.

I like that idea! :)
I could have a row boat down the bottom of the ladder too...

Good ideas, that's the kind of thing this scene needs. Though at the moment I'm
playing with the lighting instead...
I have to admit I didn't think it was that good, but people really seem to have
picked up on the atmosphere of it so I think I'll develop it further :)

Would you care to explain a little more in detail how you've
gone about creating the grass? Placing, object's orientation,
how many are there, texturing? It looks really great.

Darn, my news reader just crashed as I was writing a reply to this! I'll try and
remember what I said...
Basically it's just a mesh. Each blade is triangular, and is divided in two
along it's length so I can texture it. The texture is uv mapped so that the
blade is opaque at the center of it's base, and fades to transparent at the
edges. This gives a nice soft appearance without the need for hundreds of focal
blur samples :) The blades also vary slightly in colour.
Each blade is placed using the trace() function, by firing a ray vertically down
onto the object. The blade is oriented to point in the direction of the surface
normal, and then the top point is displaced by a vturbulence() function and a
small random displacement.
Here's a couple of bits of source code to help explain that:
//trace a position onto the object
#macro m_Place(vP)
(trace( oHill, vP+y*5, -y + .3*(<rand(rs),rand(rs),rand(rs)>-.5), vPlaceNorm )
+ vP.y*y)
#end
#declare vPos = 1.3*<rand(rs)*2-1,0,rand(rs)*2-1>;
#declare vPos = m_Place(vPos);
#declare vTop = vPos + vPlaceNorm*.0025;
#declare vTop = vTop + (vturbulence(2, .5, 6, vPos*20)*.0004 +
(<rand(rs),rand(rs),rand(rs)>-.5)*.0004)*<1,.3,1>;
I can post the full source if you like, but I'll probably carry on working on
this image so I'd rather wait until it's "finished".

Woah, that would be difficult... The only way you could mow that would be to
employ a sheep to graze on the grass, actually a mountain goat would be
better...

Thank you :)
