We now have grass, grass for over-grown lawns, for grazing horses, for sweetly romantic fields. With realistic colors from sun-bleached yellows to dark bluegrass green, these 1024x512 alpha textures will help you create the effect you have in mind.
I very highly recommend using these with Trowix 'Grass & Flower Field Bases since the grass was designed for and on them. : )

| Finally! Just plain grassy grass, lush and pretty! |
It comes in a few colors which should do for Summer and Fall.

| Definitely mix and match these with multiple prims for realism. |
To get these lush, full fields, Vix has some texturing suggestions:
1. Basic texture defaults I started with before adjusting for prim size are:
Repeats Per Face U:16.000 V:256.000
Rotation 0*
Offset U:0.50000 V: 0.48000
** The only number you should need to change is the Horizontal (U) in Repeats Per Face. This will change the width of the grass blades, allowing for fine or coarse blades. 8, 16 & 32 will be the most often used.
2. Feel free to tint the texture lightly to get the effect you want. Over-tinting can dull the contrast needed for realism, though.
3. Experiment with Glow and Full Bright.
I use very little glow .01 or .02, but I do use full bright. I'm not a full bright user normally, but it's very effective with this texture.
**For a lush, thick look:
- Try to place the grass on a similarly colored terrain or surface.
- Use 2 prims of grass -- One darker, one lighter placed at 30-45 degree angle to each other.
- For really large areas, try scattering smaller prims of varying heights throughout the area.

You can see these, frolic in these and even buy these at the Trowix Barn & on SL's Marketplace.
Drop by anytime! You can forget your shoes! : )
