Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could please help me with the following problem...
I want to make a grass field texture (just a flat plain, no advanced terrain or anything) that is high res - has high detail grass, but i also want to have patterns on the grass, like seen in some sports stadiums...these patterns need to range from horizontal stripes to concentric circles...i tried tiling the grass texture i made and it looks fine, i can even get the stripes by making a texture that iis square, half one shade of green and the other half a slightly different shade, creating a \'stripe\' effect...
Problem is when i need to get the concentric circles....i cant tile the texture as it wont make concentric circles, so i need one single texture to lay over the whole field with all circles already drawn...the problem with this is that the texture gets stretched out over the whole plane and loses detail, looking really ugly...
hopefully that makes sense...if not, i\'ll see if i can upload some pix to show what im talking about
Imagine the fields in FIFA - that\'s kinda what im trying to achieve
Any suggestions? I tried even making a seperate plane to sit just above the ground plane...like a transparent overlay of stripes or circles, so that the detailed grass texture (tiled) on the ground showed up...but no joy...couldn\'t get the transparency stuff working right...but aside from that i think there must be a better way of doing it, a plane overlay seems to elaborate...
Maybe i have to use some kind of Blend mapping or something to merge the 2 textures?? Im really at a loss...maybe it\'s something just staring me in the face.
Please Help!!!
thanks
