Making 3D Grass

Present day, making 3D grass is more easier to do by using 3D software, such as 3DS max. On other hand, this feature of making 3D grass only included in 3Ds max version 8 or higher. I suggest you to use 3DS Max version 8 or higher to do this lesson because there is feature called Hair and Fur. These features not only used to make 3D grass, but also needed to make hair and feather. With these fatures, your grass looks like real and awesome.



I show you how to make it :

1. On Command Panel, click tab Create>Geometry>Plane


2. open  KeyboardEntry rollout and fill  values as shown in the picture bellow. Then, you click Create .



3. Open Modify  tab.



4. On Parameters, you fill values that you need. for example, Length = 100 cm and Width = 100 cm.



5. Click a red square that shown bellow.


6. Pick a brown colour and click OK.



7. Click a pull down menu on Modifier List.



8. And choose Hair and Fur (WSM).



9. Now, open Material Parameters rollout. Then, modify  Tip Color for light green, and Root Color for dark green.


10. After you done, click Rendering>Render .


13. Tadaaa!! Congratulation! Now you have your own pretty grass.. ;)

A synthetic grass made by me, maybe it is not good for someone to play football on it  :)
