One thing I really like about these grass features is the ability to adjust the tint of your grass. Height variation allows you to adjust how much the height of your grass varies – with some areas being taller and some being shorter. Height, for example, makes your grass longer or shorter, letting you create either well-manicured lawns or more wild looking grass. These do exactly what they sound like – they let you set how long your grass is, as well as how uniform your grass is. You’ll notice in the material editor, there are now 2 sliders for “Height” and “Height Variation” for any material set to be grass. Now, let’s take a look at the grass settings that were added in the new 2.4 version of Enscape – specifically the ability to add height and variation to your grass. If we really wanted to, we could change the water in this pool to grass simply by selecting the grass option. The other way that you can make a material into a grass material is by selecting it, going into the Enscape material editor, and selecting the option for “Grass” from the drop-down. If I add the word “grass” to my concrete block material, for example, notice that it automatically starts rendering as grass, while maintaining the color of the material. At the moment, Enscape does not apply grass to vertical faces, though it will apply grass to faces that are angled. This works for any material in your model, as long at it’s on a horizontal face. The first, and simplest option, is that you can add the word “Grass” to your material name.

Once you’ve done that, there are two ways you can add grass to your materials. A lot of the time I leave this off until I need it so my PC doesn’t have to render all that extra geometry. The first thing you must do when trying to show grass inside your Enscape rendering is to make sure the option for Render Grass is turned on within your settings, which you can get to by going to Enscape Settings, then checking the box for Grass Rendering.
