giveaway grass essentials

Winner picked, giveaway closed – thanks everybody! Click here to seeย the results.

Hey artists and Blenderheads, I’m freaking excited to announce a new giveaway. Leave a comment below this post to win The Grass Essentials pack (worth $85). And thank you everybody for being awesome!

Our thanks also goes to Andrew Price for kindly offering a free copy of his recent (and trending!) product.

What Is The Grass Essentials Pack?

Come on, I bet you’ve heard about it. The Grass Essentials pack is a complete solution for creating insanely detailed grass in Blender. Basically, it helps you to create a lawn (forest floor/meadow) in seconds.

There are 15 Species of Grass, with up to 49 model variations for each.

Plus 15 species of weeds and some dead leaves.

forest_floor_03

It comes with a set of easy to use controls for changing grass distribution pattern, age and color of the grass. So if you want to create a dry grass field, it’s a matter of tweaking a slider.

And if you are serious about nature simulations, you will appreciate the quality of the content. Believe me.

Having a Nature Render in Your Portfolio is Always Beneficial

Here at CreativeShrimp I posted a bunch of tutorials about creating nature. Because the interest for nature renders is always huge. And also because having a nature render in your portfolio is a nice way to showcase:

1. Lighting skills

2. Particle systems

3. Your ability to create insanely complex stuff

      Started Blender around 14, 16 now. Grass essentials pack would be a great addition to my Nature studies at the moment. (Personal project of mines)

      And to end, I’m really glad to have discovered you. It was originally Andrew who I would seek inspiration from, Now it’s you, since you’re more responsive in giving tips.

      I’m currently working on a trailer for a science fiction/love/philosophical movie with focus on photorealism and the grass essentials would be really helpful in a bunch of scenes.

        Domenico, thanks for sharing your work! Try adding even more light (either in the scene, or in post-processing by overlaying some warm bright color on top of your frame). And the second thing – tilt camera a bit, it will be more dynamic ๐Ÿ™‚

      thanks to you I learned how to make Gaming texture scene, take a look

      And since the country where I come from doesn’t have Paypal, winning a contest would be my only chance to get the grass essentials.

      That’s why I’m also participating on Andrews Competition: “Another Planet”.. hoping to get just the Grass package.

      So far my Interstellar astronaut base is looking quite good.. Wish me luck! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hi! Currently I don’t have any ongoing projects due to exams approaching in school meaning I’m dedicating most of my time to school and any Blender work is just experimental to keep myself on my feet until I can get back into it. My latest project, however, won the Andrew Price Nature’s Fury competition.

      Hey I would love to get this awesome Pack!
      I’m working with Blender for a special school subject. You can form a group to get a project going. We are about to create a Science-Fiction movie only using Blender and Gimp. It’s difficult sometimes because our experience is limited. The modelling and unwrapping of our spaceship for the movie really was a pain. But now we finally reached a result we can be proud of. Our very own creation. But there is still a long and difficult way to go…

      As a student who can’t really afford these awesome luxuries, receiving this giveaway would be great. Grass is very difficult to master and yet this pack does it in seconds, I love it!

There are a lot of guys here, but you’ll get used to it, and you’re definitely not alone, there are lots of female Blender users. We’re just not that vocal. Also, you’re English is pretty near perfect, so no need to apologise. Take care and welcome to the community.

      I’m a hopefully future 3d artist. I haven’t really done anything yet, but I got the knowledge, and I’m currently working on my first big project, which is a cartoon character. I’m almost finished with the head, and it’s starting to look really good! I had no idea of that I was that good at sculpting! It still looks dead, but I’ll keep working on it until I’m happy. I’ll think I won’t abandon this project, I have worked on it four a looong time now, and I won’t quit. I wan’t to finalize this project in an epic render with your (Glebs) lightning tips, and then move on with smaller project.

      • TARDIS Maker

        I feel like it would be uncompatible. It was designed for cycles. Plus, to get good results, you’d be looking a waaaaaay too many verts.

        It would be though.

      Hey Gleb? How are you doing? It is nice to be able to send a message to someone who is very good with Blender. I’ve been learning Blender for only a year and a half now, and recently was able to finish my first mini project and am very happy, because between Blender and School and all that stuff, I get caught up in my life.

      Here is a link to my first “project” in which I did some of the CGI for a video my father was making (mainly making the whole butterfly and animating it a bit)

      https://vimeo.com/122872646

        Hey, thanks for sharing your project with us. Your father is a talented man (I get the Depeche Mode vibe from watching this film), and you are too. Butterfly is integrated into the footage very well. All these image-based reflections look very convincing.

So I’m new to Blender, (6 months) and have put togther my first scene (posted). Next I would like to to a nature scene, and the Grass Essentials looks like a fantastic. and well thought out tool. I’d like to spend more time on the artwork than modeling the fine details of blades of grass. I’ll take a shot at winning the drawing. Keep up the great, and inspirational work.

      Hello! Actually, I had a very similar idea Andrew Price and CO. had before he released the grass essentials. Ever since years ago…

      I picked and collected several blades of grass and foliage, flattened those, and scanned it as textures. I took photo references of how the grass patches and a single grass blade looked like, as modelling references. I am continually in progress of building up my own grass and foliage pack.

      Main difference is that there isn’t any drivers for advanced particles system controls,as accuracy of the pack is partially based on the number of model variations.

      Initially, I have the intention of uploading it to blendswap for all blender users when its fully completed. But apparently, it doesn’t seem good to do so due to the recent release of grass essentials as a commercial product.

      I Wouldn’t mind at all not winning this,as I prefer it to be a continual challenge to create my very own high quality grass and foliage pack.

      Moreover, even if i get to win it, I would consider giving it to someone else since I do not want to end up copying the assets and claim it as part of my own creation for the grass and foliage pack.

      Pretty sure that ease of use of the grass essentials is more time effective as compared to mine.

      Anyway,I appreciate much by all you have done, Gleb Alexandrov. Thanks alot!

      Hahaha, I applaud the clever way to lure all the greedy lurkers like me to come and say “Hi”.

      So, hello, Gleb. I’ve been keeping my eye on you since I saw “Her Majesty’s Zeppelins” almost a year ago. There are other people with great skill in the CGI world, but there is an inspiring sense of beauty to your renders, which made you my favourite artist as far as Blender goes. I’ve also been curiously following your ever more serious efforts in making tutorials, and while I find your English and general ability to teach a bit lacking (I prefered the earlier form, with just text on screen, eg. the “Zeppelins” making-of video), the mind-blowing skills, the artistic sense, and the inspiration you bring to the table still make your tuts some of the very best out there. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of that, and keep at it!

      (And so I’ve managed to make an almost meaningful comment without mentioning a word about myself. *evil laughter*)

      Hi all,
      I’m a beginning solo indie dev trying to figure out my way through Unreal Engine 4. I’ve been using Blender for about 2 years now, but I’ve never done any open scenery or foliage (I tried making a cactus once, and it was terrible). So if I got the Grass Essentials pack, it would be really helpful for learning how to make nice organic vegetation.
