Any recommended ground shaders?

nabob21

Hello,

I am currently trying to bring some of my old Poser products into Daz Studio and converting the Poser materials over to Iray shaders. Things are going pretty well except that some of the ground materails are problematic.Does anyone know of any ground shaders that they would recommend that would be good for grassy surfaces and perhaps dirt and gravel as well?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks fred9803 for the links. Are these shaders that you use? I can't really tell from the promo images if the shaders show repeating patterns when they are applied to a large surface such as a ground terrain. I find that is often the case if the image map has a distinct pattern or colour to it, If they do, when you apply the shader to a surface it looks like there are rows because each of the tiled images can be distinguished due to the repeating pattern.

There is another thread running currently on the topic of realistic ground textures - you may find some of the hints there useful:

(Note this doesn't answer your question about the two specific texture sets mentioned above - I don't have either, so cannot comment on them)
