Hello everyone,
I run a lot of tests over here, though very few ever make it to the
public. I figured this image was worth posting, even if it is unfinished.
Grass, rocks. The rocks are a single height_field, tested and created
using a crackle form chart I devised some time ago, and should post
someday. I gave the HF a proximity pattern, which I then used to give it
a more interesting texture.
The grass is a clump composed of a single mesh which was copied, rotated
and translated randomly. The clumps were placed upon the HF using
trace(), and only appear in cracks. This was accomplished using the
aforementioned proximity pattern.
I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out, and hope to add
something to make the scene more interesting. Coyote scat would be
relevant, but I'm not sure about the appropriateness of adding that :)
Comments and questions are always welcome, though I'm not too sure about
releasing the code, which is a mess.
Sam

It brings to mind one of the episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater that I
listened to earlier today - entitled "Escape! Escape!".
The upshot was some escaped convicts ended up being shrunk down to ant-
size and placed in a terrarium.

It is very interesting.
A mix of rock and lot of moisture to have such a tender grass.
Maybe the only lacking things are a kind of felt made of dead grass at the
bottom of the cracks and maybe some slightly irisated reflections in water
The proximity pattern works /(rocks?)
My ankles feel painful at the thought of a walk on that terrain :-s
I definitely have to have a look at your proximity macros :-D

Awesome... :O ...it just needs an insect/amphibian/reptile on top of that
rock at the center. I've an unfinished/abandoned snake macro which can fit
very well there: it even has a basic mechanism to adapt to the terrain using
trace(), but the code it's also a mess...

Lovely. The old single-clump-rotated-cloned trick can work wonders. Nice
variation in leaf size, too. Are you using any scattering effects or is it just
a plain opaque green texture?

Hiya Samuel.
Pleasing sight to the eyes this morning. And being morning my first thought
was how this looked like early morning so guess a heavy dew would have put a
finishing touch on the lush green grass. ;) Maybe it's late afternoon... or
late morning early Spring.
I have a large rock here that gets covered in grass every year, so this
picture looks very feasible. All it takes is for the roots take hold
someplace and it gets around fast. I cleared it all off a few years ago and
now it's a heavy mat of green during the summer.
Hmmmm, shouldn't be too much trouble adding roots, right?

Gosh! The mess of Jaime and Sam combined would yield one helluva
HOF-level image! :D

Samuel, another amazing image!
Now... some raindrops into the clumps...

I dig it.
What would be inappropriate about coyote scat? Some people get very excited
about scat on trails. Even if the animal that left it isn't in sight, it
adds to the experience knowing that they're not that far away.

Great image! Maybe still a tiny bit sterile. Possibly because
there is only one type of plant, or because the texture on the
individual blades is rather uniform. Maybe some blades should
be more yellow- or brownish, or have some spots and defects.
Especially since the climate seems a bit dry anyway ;)
The placement trick works quite well, but some regularity
might still be subtly perceived by dominance of some of the
occuring angles (more parallel lines than you would normally
expect, especially near the sides).
Is the lighting just radiosity or did you add luminous bloom?
