Hey, im creating a matrix and im trying to add 3d grass, what i have done so far is;
Taken a Bmp then textured a plain with the Bmp. I have then made the plain exclude the black of the bmp, so i now have grass i can actively place into my game. But the problem is, how do i copy the grass around 200 times to randomise across my matrix. I have the effect i am looking for made, but iv'e had to repeat the following code many many times (took along time) and so taking up alot of space on my code and hard to increase the amount of grass without substancial typing! The following code is a snippet of 1 grass texture.

Uh..... A loop process perhaps?

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.

Ok, let me re-phrase this ok, i am creating grass on my matrix, but the only way i seem to be able to place many patches of 3D grass is by creating 150 plain objects or so eg. Create object plain 1, Create object plain 2, Create object plain 3 etc.. is there any way i can create multiple objects with the same paramaters (placing, texture size etc..) without haveing to type out the code all 150+ times?
