This is my opening scene. The plan was to have "Visit Essex" spelled out in the grass, and have a lawn mower run it over. I thought the hardest part would be getting the grass to appear in the shape of the letters. I was very wrong. As of right now, I am unsure if I will actually be able to do what I had planned...
To get the grass effect, I just had to create one strand of grass, apply it to the text "V I S I T E S S E X" which I had converted into an editable polygon, and then use the scatter option to copy the strand several thousand times over the text. I then messed around with the options to get the final result.
I thought that I would be able to made individual polygons disappear by lowering their visibility once the lawn mower had ridden over them. However, it seems that you can only edit the visibility of an entire object, rather than the individual polygons. I hope that there is some way to do this, or else this scene may go to waste...
