Grass'O'Matic is a grass generator for 3D Game Studio that allows game designers to add lush lawns, bush and field with ease. Grass'O'Matic 3.0 has a different way of generating grass instead of just using a dummy marker. I am working on making it work with level block grass textures. I am also trying to make an editor that allows users to simply paint the grass in their levels. Editor Preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aCry5m7x8I I'll be posting more media (images and videos) soon Thanks for your interest, -Bright Last edited by Bright; 10/22/06 02:05.

Are you using a shader on the grass? to stop the z_buffer issue etc Clicking this link will make millions of good and wonderful happy explosions of joy inside you \| Rebel Planet Creations \| Development Videos

I was looking at the video and was sure that my patient to see a video of your WIP with Grass'O'Matic 3.0 would be rewarded and it is, it just looks amazing I'm guessing we'll get a plugin for the grass generating editor right ?? Btw, which FPS do you get ^^ Can't wait to get a demo version from this Cheers Frazzle Antec� Case Intel� X58 Chipset Intel� i7 975 Quad Core 8 GB RAM DDR3 SSD OCZ�-VERTEX2 3.5 x4 ; HD 600 GB NVIDIA� GeForce GTX 295 Memory 1795GB

I look forward to checking it out when you release the full version. WIP - RLD (red light district) - gamestudio WIP - The War - Torque website - www.geocities.com/themgsman/

Perhaps this seems this way because of the scale of the texture underneath, but this really looks like giant grass to me. Perhaps a bit too monotone green too. Look at this: Take a look at this - and FREE TEXTURES too .. You can see all kinds of green color tones, even yellow color tones. Anyways, as for the Grass-o-matic, I like that video. Does it save the locations of the grass to the wmp file btw. or do we need to load it with a grass-o-matic specific system ?
