RSram✭✭✭✭✭Are you talking about how it rotates to your view while to look down at it and rotate your camera, or are you just referring to its appearance?Edited by RSram on July 17, 2015 10:57PM0 -
Jennifur_Vultee✭✭✭✭✭The grass reacts like that because its more of a sprite or "billboard" rather than a full fledged 3D object. In games like Skyrim for example plants are typically made of several planes at angles to each other, the simpliest being 2 planes overlapping at 90 degrees. Sprites or "billboards" are single planes that always turn to face the viewer.
Here's an example I threw together in 3DS Max to help show the different plant styles. Billboard/sprite type plants reduce the number of polygons rendered allowing more plants on screen and potentially reduce lag.

If it turns out we really are living in a simulation (as been speculated by brilliant science type people) we should figure out how Earth simulates grass. That's some impressive grass programming. Also, make it run on the current gen of consoles without a 15 gig patch please.

That would explain the lag I've been experiencing....

They really should add a static 3d grass option for those of us who can handle it.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
