Rendering Grasses

[waldo]

Apologies if this has been answered a mil times..in terms of grass rendering..how does single planting, multi planting, copy and paste compare? Or even bushes? Do certain methods or specific objects render better than others?

All the best,
Waldo

No matter if you single plant, multiplant or copy and paste. it makes no difference to the rendering distance.

What will make a difference is three things;
1. The size you plant at. obviously small grass will render closer than full size grass.
2. What you're planting. Plants/bushes will render better than grass.
3. The settings you have in the game for advanced graphics. Low/High/Ultra

There are probably more considerations, but they would be the main ones.

In the PC graphics settings there is an advanced settings button.

I've set the grass to ultra

Then there is an "object detail" slider.
By default it's set at 40. This is the result. You can see the grass between the fairway rendering just past the tee box.



If you change it up to 75% you can see the grass renders further (about half way) and up behind the par 3 green you can see the larger planted grass. The trees are also more defined.


If you crank it up to 100% the grass renders all the way.

Appreciate the response! Yeah I’m on console so I’m not able to change settings like that but it seems like it renders better mixing in a lot of sunken bushes with some grass. Just curious cause it almost feels like a waste cause I’ll plant grass for sightline out near the fairway and I can’t even see them on console until I zoom in.
