Improved Grass - increased draw distance / LOD

Description
Description

This mod increases the draw distance of grass in battles - a side effect is that it also drastically reduces the pop-in when moving the camera.

The campaign map also uses some of the grass / foliage models, so that'll be affected by this mod too.

Performance Impact

Probably some, although I didn't notice anything too drastic. You're still effectively rendering more polygons on the screen though, so if many people have issues I can perhaps look into making a lighter version.

Compatibility

Should be compatible with everything that doesn't touch the grass models.

Answering questions in advance

1. I still notice some pop-in!

This may happen - I doubt it's possible to remove the pop-in entirely. If it's the same as vanilla WH2, however, leave a comment below stating which map is being affected and I can take a peek.

2. Can we reduce the fade-in at larger zoom out levels?

Not sure, we may have to really increase the LOD but there may also be something in-engine that does the fading. I don't think it'll look very good either way.

@bapp Hey WH3 version of this mod, the game really suffers from horrible draw distance for grass.

Any thoughts of porting this to wh3? The grass is beautiful now but the draw distance is atrocious.

Try running with ultra. I'll experiment with high to see if it affects anything.

I see no difference with this mod. I run grass settings on high does it need to be ultra?

Great mod, I think the other posters are right. Game feels smoother with this and looks really nice.
