I prefer to make grass with Society Garlic grass.

It comes like this:

You make a plane surface, and if you want klick edit poly, and you curve it as you want.
Then you go on "create" > AEC extended > fooliage > pick Society Garlic and put it somwhere on the plain surface. Pick "Scatter" tool and press "pick distribution object" and pick plain surface for the distribution object.
Increase "duplicate parameter" as you wish.

So, if you don't like Society Garlic look of grass, try makeing your own single grass and do the same way as I decribed above, just you'll need to increase more Duplicate Parameter to make the grass fullfil your surface.

That tutorial is good for making a real-look grass, but if you're making a lower poly project, I think that it's better to make something like VarnishedOtter showed.

If someone is planing to make a grass with this tutorial, and if he don't understands something, just ask me. wink.gif

And about sky, I found a tutorial where you make a hemisphere, and you make it blue, then put some volume fog into it (render > environment > add volume fog).

And you play with a parameters a little, but I haven't tryed this one yet, so I can't say if it works fine and so...
