Terraced Fields, hoping for a green add-on

Linwelly

I'm in love with the terraced rice fields

https://www.daz3d.com/terraced-fields

and I'm hoping there will be an add-on with the fields filled with green rice plants and green dams as well,

now let me go have a render with that

Can't you just select the surface selection tool, then go to the surfaces pane and then select the part you want green, see what the texture is, then take it into an image editor like photoshop or GIMP and change the color and save as a new copy and load that instead.

I assume it is something like this she is after

UltraScatter with grass plants? That might do it, as rice is a type of grass.

There used to be a stand-alone rice prop on one of the Japanese Poser sites, but the link is now dead. For a lot more money there are rice prop .objs at several of the mainstream model locations, but a possible alternative is that here in the DAZ store, Sugatak's Ninja Village includes a modeled rice paddy as part of the terrain, with the plnts themselves being listed as RiceInaho in textures.  One could probably either seperate that out with the geometry tool or... more to my speed... create a couple of billboards of plant rows by hiding everything except the plants.   Edit - on looking a bit closer, I found a few "budget range" mature rice plant models at some of the bigger sites for either free or cheap.  Most seem to be in Max or Maya formats, but this one for $2 U.S.  includes an .obj https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/rice-plant-3d-model-1603545  I'd pobably still go with the billboard route myself, but it's nice to have options.

billbords would definitely reduce the render load a lot
