Working my way through the excellent outdoor tutorials - using vray this time. A bit of photoshop field blur goes a long way. user added image

Dandelions looking too uniform though.

Looks nice. You need some dandelions that have gone to seed. I'm not sure about the DOF, it looks off. I see from your first post that it is PS blur? The foreground has too much blur and the background not enough.

Thanks for your comments - always appreciated!
Yes I think the dandelions are still too uniform - I'll have to back up a few steps. Ultimately I'll be using depth of field in the camera settings so Photoshop is a quick fix. The Shader is a vray material into a 2 sided mtl - I followed a 3dsmax Architectural Visualisation tutorial for the textures (https://vray.info/tutorials/grass/part2.asp) as I'm new to Vray. Looking forward to moving onto the plants/trees!
Cheers

I like it. How many polygons so far? Render times?
