what is it that you want out of your grass texture? Grass drawn only thru texture-mapping will ofc struggle to look like grass seeing how geometric that material is in the real world. Without the parallax and angle dependent self-shadowing happening there's limits to how much you can ask of a grass texture.

It's for a game engine that currently has no grass sprites so I just want a decent looking flat grass texture that I can blend with other things

Could you show a screen of what your grass looks like on terrain mesh in perspective?

here are the two i have tried so far, top one looks too bare. last pic is what i kinda want to achieve

With texture only you're about as good as it gets. You wanna go beyond that you need more advanced shaders.
GTAV does a pretty good looking trimmed grass on the cheap with a classic parallax 'fur' shader.
Newer games uses geometry shaders for grass and mass instantiate mesh grass blades across the surface.

Adding a really aggressive normalmap to the grass could help a bit if done right but generating one suitable for a already existing
texture can be hard as the geometry needs to be very crips.

Can give it a shot later to see what I can do since that's actually a nice texture you posted.

Well I'm fine with it being completely flat, I just want a texture that looks like grass and not just dirt. Other games seem to accomplish it just fine.

If you just mean you need a texture with the look of a specific type of trimmed grass I'll let you in on a little secret.
Places like 'google image search' was good many years ago but they have a bunch of restrictions placed on them how their web-crawlers are allowed to operate due to legal complaints.
There are good image search tools outside the US in the usual suspect 'do-not-give-a-fuck' countries that will offer stellar image search results.

If you're looking for images accessible for free rather than 'public domain' specifically try using the image search of 'yandex.com' for example.

the issue is finding pbr materials with normals and roughness, just the texture itself is quite limiting

Her you go anon. I made this texture pack for big scenes using actual 3d grass that I made from scratch and then rendering the specular, diffuse and normal pass.

The original one is like 20gb so I'm uploading a compressed 1.6 gb version.

The texture is made to cover an area of 25sqmts and be seamless. I'm the author so I hereby grant you 100 commercial use.

Enjoy motherfucker.

Texture pack contains diffuse, normal, bump and specular.

No prob anon maybe the texture is too big because I made it for large scenes but its something.

Yeah will need to be rescaled, even 8k is probably too big. Maybe it will be too blurry

That's because grass textures make no sense.
Grass is something that has depth and volume. It won't ever look good as a flat image, except from a distance.
That being said, you're gonna want to blend multiple different grass textures together to make something believable. It also gets rid of tiling issues which is another reason a lot of grass looks like shit in games.

Why don't you just generate a grass texture in Stable Diffusion
Or like, make actual grass

yes i already have a couple other textures that i'm gonna blend it with, but what i want should have those grass tufts and stuff on it

>>941781
i would take a photo outdoors but currently there's a metre of snow covering it

>>941784
i think this style of grass is probably what makes it look weird, it's more like an illusion of grass that's needed somehow

no but like the first pic in this >>941743 it doesn't really have distinct blades of grass and still looks decent. old games did it well too

This one is from Sauerbraten. It's part of a tileset.

something like that yeah, but it does seem like it's lacking on pbr texture sites

what pisses me off is that this site: https://rawcatalog.com/asset/835/
has some really nice textures but their license is really really vague and bad
