Seems pretty cool!!

Come on guys.. WE CAN DO BETTER!

Would be nice to have that pressing grass to the ground in OT, making tracks after vehicles wheels. That detail at close, maybe a kind of an owerlay texture would do ...

 BUT, no grass destruction options ... not even an lawncutter ... and no volumetric grass pile making, or dirt effects on pressed grass ...
   ... and the worst thing. No flamethrower ... you must allways have the option to burn all things to dust.

Interesting contribution. Thanks HiFlyer.
But I think that all that is only for the Shooter Games of interest. Since for Flysim this is anyhow badly as good, because a lot too much GPU-Ressource are used.

[Steve.Wilson]

Yup.  It's crop circle time.  I just wonder if this can apply to OpenGL.

What I was thinking is that I remember it being mentioned that the current grass was fairly expensive computationally (though I don't see that, as turning off the grass does nothing for my framerates) and I was wondering if this implementation might be better or worse.

Well, they still use X shaped kinda grass/herb flats with some simple animation for wind and lay-down. Is true doe, that it is impressive visually especially at some of the graphic overhaul mods. The envidia vid approach takes more physics into grass ...

 But Bedhesda has still the biggest bad-ass merchants ever ...

Well, my actual point is that the Gamebryo/Creation Engine sucks and grass is definitely a performance hog/killer.

I played Oblivion forever, and even though the engine was amazing at Oblivion's launch, and I was blown away by it, eventually it pissed me off too much while tweaking it to be able to keep playing the game.  I didn't stick with Skyrim for as long for the same reason.  I was so disappointed that they pretty much stayed with the same engine, with all its flaws still blatantly apparent.

[PytonPago]

Yes, youre right .. there is newer enough graphic settings options for games, especially the big ones. ... also, i think the devs like it buggy as it is ... well seems that way.
