Easy Stylized Grass In Blender For Eevee AND Cycles! 

I think I did mention advanced but I might have gone a little fast/didn't explain why I did it. I'll keep that in mind for future tutorials. Thanks for the feedback!

No problem, that was my hope! I go on summer break in about a month and I 100% plan on doing (hopefully tons) of blender tutorials.

That's actually so great to hear! I have some big plans for tutorials I want to hit as soon as I get the time, so I'm happy you'll be along for the ride!

Thank you so much! It's honestly people like you that make me want to give back to the blender community.

@@nickwierzbowski If you don't mind explaining what was your learning process? Cause you seem to be pretty good and I want to level up my skills as well

Honestly, it depends what exactly you're trying to learn and where you are right now. At a base level there's the technical aspect of everything in Blender. For that I spent a ridiculous amount of time on RU-vid watching everything I could find. By that I mean not just big ideas but all the random stuff too for all the little tips and tricks that come with experience. Then a couple months ago I realized that I'd probably watched 80-90% of everything worthwhile in terms of tutorials. So then it's on to experimentation! Like for this video I spent about a week trying to get a really good looking grass and finally ended up settling on this (Project driven learning is king!). Other things you could do are looking, and I mean really looking at animated (or otherwise, depending on your interests) films. Look at the details, see where they made mistakes (because they do) or just ran out of time. Also, real life reference! It's all about observation and asking questions (just like you're doing, so good work!) never be done learning, and remember that the next thing you do will always be better. That was a bit of a long answer, but there's a lot to talk about and I love talking about it! Hope this helps, and I'm always happy to answer questions or take suggestions!

@@nickwierzbowski lol although a "long" response that was actually very helpful and you saying you prepped a week in advanced was some well needed motivation that sometimes you just gotta repeat it till I get my results, thank you 🥲

Love the optimism! That'd be one wild ride!

Sure! If you have the node wrangler addon enabled, which you've probably seen in a bunch of tutorials if you're just starting out, you can hold control and shift while doing the click and drag between the two color ramps. That being said you could just add in a mix node and change it from float to color and do it manually. I wish you luck on your Blender journey!

There is! If you do a search for density there should be a field that takes a thing called a vertex group. You can make one of these and not put any weight on the areas where you don't want grass or less weight in the areas where you want less grass. If that doesn't quite make sense there's tons of tutorials on it.

@@nickwierzbowski Thank you very much

This was 3.2. It should still be there in 3.3 though! One thing to check would be what renderer you're using. If it's not set to cycles the node won't show up.
