Layering 3D Grass In LUMION to ADD DETAIL and TRANSITION Between Materials!

In this tutorial I show how to layer multiple grass layers to either add more detail to a particular area of the scene or to help transition between two textures like 3D grass to sand! Typically whatever I put 3D grass on will have some hard lines that do not always look realistic but this will help to smooth out the change in textures.

I learned about this trick when I was watching Amir Fiala's YouTube channel:

They have some great tutorials and I highly recommend checking them out if you have not already. When it comes to lighting scenes he stands out to me as someone who really knows how to make materials and models come to life in Lumion. Here are a few of my favorite videos from Amir:
