Creating grass in Blender is a pain. Free Stock Textures - download high resolution textures, all images are free for personal and commercial use. A new one is drag & drop of particle systems (only in Blender 2.8). For another example of photo-realistic grass, the Cosmos Laundromat benchmark scene has the Blender Foundation's grass shader which if I recall correctly uses simply a mix shader. Marco writes: Cycles Low Poly Grass Models for faster renderings. A month ago, we were thinking about the other thing that could be useful for people, a Grass Pack. You point blender to your texture folder and chose what you want from ONE place. We can alter color of grass with Hue / saturation node. Hit render and voila! Grass and Lighting. Feel free to browse through the entire collection and download your grass choices. Now when you are in blender and you want to place a texture on any object. Finding the right tutorial, tweaking settings, rendering, tweaking and re-rendering takes hours, and IT’S PAINFUL. Free dowload: Blender Grass 28. By Marco on May 9, 2016 Add-ons. There is a trick to illuminating the grass – use 3-4 Sun Lamps with variable size. You know you need it for your scene, but you put it off because you know how long it will take. We must use translucency to have a thin semitransparent material but we don’t want to overact, so use fraction values from 0,1 to 0,5. One with a small size to make a sharp shadows (and provide definition). I assume you don't have any. Then we can set up material – with Principled Shader and mask bitmap included with foliage texture set we can use alpha blend mode and translucency to get 2D grass straw with cut-out background. And other with increased size to fill in the darks with more dispersed, ambient lighting. For a user it's the simplest thing in the world - you can drag & drop a prepared grass setup directly to any object (not a linked object, but one that is in your file). Then we can import the rest of maps (roughness and normal maps). For our grass leaves we use for diffuse and translucency real leaf textures instead of flat colors though a simple UVW box map. If you have a big space to fill, check out these seamless textures you can use. (desktop) Go find some textures (online) and dump them all into that folder you named Textures. There's your empty lot filled with a lawn. The post entitled 30 Free High Resolution Grass Textures will surely get you loaded with 100% grass textures quality for your next project. Here, a list of awesome grass textures are presented and compiled for your perusal. They also have much more detail in the texturing than your shader currently has, but I don't know what type or style of grass you are aiming for anyway.
