Help out this programmer with advice on models please!

Hey, how can I create a rock platform with grass on top? More specifically, how can I create grass stick out of the edges of the rock? Here are some example pictures:

As you can see, there is grass sticking out of the edges of the rock. How can I create this in Blender? I know how to create the mesh of the rock but I dont know how to create this effect. Thanks soooo much guys

Alpha planes for the grass sticking out.

Here is one way to create the geometry in Blender

I selected the vertices along the edges marked in red, then E Key (for extrude), then Enter. The new vertices remain selected, so scale them out a little (SKey, then Shift Z), then with evertices still selected G Key and move down along the Z axis.

cheers, gryff :slight_smile:

Forgot to mention - used Displacer modifier to add variation to the extruded vertices

Thanks. I have a little trouble in texturing them though. I don’t know where I can get a texture like that or even how to make one. Any suggestions? Thanks so much for the answers
