Rick,
I am using 2 grass splines to achieve that effect. I use the tram__ grass splines off the DLS which are quite nice. What I usually do is lay down the yellow grass which is the base, then I use the SHIFT key alot and start randomly placing grass splines of the green grass. When I just randomly place them, there are areas at which the green grass is more prevalent and areas where the yellow grass is more prevalent. I wear that shift key out placing the green grass lol. Once I'm finished doing that, then I like to throw a couple flowers/bushes :hehe:/weeds or whatever looks fitting in there to add a bit more variety. While the grass splines are finishing up in that area, I still need the other minor details which make it better to capture the true effect.
 
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Tane this, Tane that! I'm sick of reading about it! Maybe, just maybe it will look better. I think we will need a lot of headache pills next year! The biggest slap in the face to me is this DRM garbage. Who is going to see benifits from that!? Well, I'm guessing it's not going to be the users. I'm staying with TS12 without the updates. It's working well enough that a simple person like me can build a route. That's all I want.

Here's a little winter scene I whipped up on an empty board. We have not had to dig out our shovels down here yet. I sort of wish we had some snow. Whoa, whoa, what am I saying! Haven't seen much from Michael? I hope all is well my friend!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ALL THE BEST FOR YOU NEXT YEAR! ....Rick

If you dont mind me asking, I have been looking for more canadian national steamers for a while without much success, where did you find that 2-6-0 and the caboose? Thanks a bunch

And btw, i am still using TS2010 since my TS12 was destroyed by my dog....... Yeah... she broke the disk

Hello,
Nadolig Llawen.

My wife & I became volunteer (read unpaid) foster parents on Dec 5th. So I'm lucky if I have time to read the thread. Saying that:
rick: - Thanks for the nod,
- I HATE snow, but nice shots.

deadpoolmx55: That's a master's work.

enzo1: Look at all that F******** grass that needs cutting. :'(

rick & enzo1: Nice rock texturing!

2010 Build 44022 (I found a fragment of one of my routes here. Moving from TS12 to TRS2010 is dodgy.)

This being a shot near Corra Linn, BC the uppermost of four dams and hydroelectric generating stations. I was going to finish all four and then post some pictures of all of them. But...

Thanks for watching.
