Here's a sneak preview of something I've been working on the last couple of weeks.

Enjoy! :)

Xordan:  What does it look like when you're say 10 meters above the ground looking downwards?

OK thanks, I don't remember why I was asking that.  It looks interesting.

looks pretty cool.
Just two questions: Will it lag the clients like the first attempt on grass did? Will it be that high ingame too?

No, this grass is significantly faster.
As for height, that depends on what the artists decide suits the area. Could be low or high.

Greetings!

I love it! And it swings in the wind! Just the kind of thing I was trying to do for the BD back then, but got errors from CS. Something about duplicating the movement curves for all foliage instances... but where I failed, you succeeded! Go Xordan (& co)!

Keep it up,

I am sure it looks lovely, and will be excellent in game. Not going to look at the AVI because it will take me 2 hours 40 minutes to download  :'(

Maybe encoding in DivX (Xvid) or similar so it isnt 50+ MB would help people like me out a little.

Hey ... it started with Bugreport PS#2463 for me, a little higher resolution grass from Arerano, and now ... amazing! :D

Very cool! Will the drawing distance of the grass be configurable?
