Ehehe, I'm new ;) (read: Inexperienced). Need to finish Grass, add 
trees, other stuff. Feedback appreciated :)

Will post scene file in p.t.s-f so you can see how horrible it is :)

Good start, don't forget to put some reflective sphere as it is due for 
a first post.  :-)
Some remarks:
- You put a green ground under the grass, at the first plane it really 
gives an impression of syntethic grass.
- the line at which you stop putting grass blades is very visible, you 
can improve it by putting grass that gradually becomes more scarce, that 
should soften the limit.

Yea, it's just temporary, It was better then the rgb<0,1,0> I was using :)

Yea, I got bored of typing in object{MyGrass a whole lot so I just 
rendered it from where I was at :)
