Fields of Lavender
I like Sauerbraten’s procedural-ish grass system. Creating a lush field is easy enough to do. It’s not quite on par with LOTRO’s beautiful grass & shrubs but with some more variety it could be in the same ballpark. As soon as I realized I could add more than the default basic grass I knew I had to expand it for my project.
I found this nice example of lavender on Flickr and could imagine it in-game:
A little bit of Photoshop masking to remove the background and *poof* there it is, in my little world:
