LI Elemental Dynamics – Grass Plants 01 started with a single grass plant. Before long, one thing led to another, and it grew into a versatile collection of wetland-inspired assets designed to help create natural environments with minimal effort.

At the root of the pack is a single hero grass plant loaded with a large range of adjustment morphs, allowing you to create countless variations from a single asset. It's not based on any real-world plant but is designed as a versatile filler that can be reshaped with the included morphs and material presets to produce a surprisingly diverse range of looks.

I've also added tall grasses, fully rigged reeds, a soil mound, scattered soil pebbles, and a wetland terrain inspired by shallow creeks and marshes. The pack isn't necessarily designed for building massive environments; instead, the focus is on creating highly detailed close-up scenes. That being said, I've also included three established scene layouts that create the illusion of a much larger environment by relying on instances and carefully positioned cameras. They also serve as a great starting point for your own scenes.

The terrain has been UV mapped to work seamlessly, allowing you to apply virtually any tileable texture with ease. I've included a detailed set of 8K texture maps with multiple material variations, along with a collection of seamless 4K muddy material presets that tie everything together.

The wetland terrain also includes its own adjustment morphs, and to make life a little easier I've created fitted grass, reed, and pebble assets that automatically follow the terrain as it's reshaped. Finish the scene with the included water plane and you'll have a solid foundation for creating creek beds, riverbanks, marshes, ponds, or overgrown wetlands. It's also a great way to add detailed patches of natural ground to larger environments.

Like many products in the LI Elemental Dynamics range, this pack isn't about creating one specific scene. It's about providing a versatile collection of assets that work together. Mix them, instance them, reshape them, and kitbash them into something uniquely your own.

Happy rendering!

NOTES:

Regarding the auto-follow function of the assets fitted to the LI ED-GP - Wetland Soil 01 - after loading, it may take a few seconds for the asset/s to conform to the terrain shape.

Regarding rigging of the Reed Clumps, it is slightly unconventional, but it works very well with the pose controls provided....it will do the job :)

Regarding grass and reed UV's - just think of them as fibermesh. This means you can use either shader on either asset to create a variety of different looks. Overlay maps control the blended colors on the stems so you can easily modify them by changing strength or diffuse color channels.
