Tutorial: Grass and Rock Displacement in Vray SketchUp

Vray SketchUp does not support Proxy at the moment, unlike Vray 3dsMax. Creating realistic grass seems to be challenge still. In the past the solution that I mostly recommend is using channels like in this POST .

Two of our Filipino Visualizers, Zernan Suarez and Rhen Badando, attempted to create very informative displacement tutorial how to achieve realistic grass and rock materials. I should say, this technique works pretty well. Here are their tutorials.

ZERNAN SUAREZ aka. "ZDesign"

Here's my visual tutorial on how to make the grass or even carpet looks uneven/ripple using bump and displacement and noise adjustments.
