Highlight on gras?!

[nbeyond]

Hi there,

is it possible to give the gras some kind of a highlight so it won´t look that dull?! =/
Tryed with a glossy material but without success

how come could you manage to make reflections on leaves around and can't make the same on the grass?

glossy material with some roughness should do the trick. Although it's good if grass geometry is not completely plain but curved (not only in vertical axis but in horizontal axis too). Then the light which comes from one position (as in your scene) will bounce from grass straws in the direction of camera.

Can you please post a closeup on the grass?

Because on leaves the glossy material actual work ^^

Thats what i´ve got with glossy on grasobject - just a bunch of nasty fireflys =/

The gras is curved at x also - or did i misunderstood you?!

As far as I know grass is not made with painted glass..
Roughness man! I said about roughness!!!

Go to the field, cut off some grass straws and have a look at them. Do they look like the material you prepared?

Hi,

If i'm right, you use hair for the grass. Then your grass is like cylinder or cones. But real grass is like blades. As there is no flat surface on your grass, you can't have the same aspect and speculars. Try a low polygon curved blade or a patch of this blade duplicated by the Octane scatter object. I think you'll have a very different result.

I hope this'll help.
