Coming along nicely, Bright! But I, as well, am a bit worried about the framerate when using sprites... Please keep us posted!

I just looked at the last screenshot you posted - although it looks really nice, the "ref" value indicates there is by far too much going on Probably you could use some alpha-test material on the sprites? That would at least decrease the "ref" value a little, although I'm not sure whether it is applicable to sprites at all...

I think this is way too much grass, to handle without Vertex shader support.
Ever thought of putting the creation and animation completely into a vertex program? Maybe you have done so already, but who knows. As I see it you have some 2k+ entities. How does it behave if you bundle up the grass?
Otherwise I believe I will have fun to look into it. Keep it up!

Yess, the grass looks nice, but the fps is too low. But I think you will manage this well. So turn down the quality and look everytime to the fps counter. After that maybe you will have a better result. Let's see!

with 6 FPS i don't think it's usable in game  even Oblivion grass is less in number compâred to yours , but in oblivion there is trees, wind , shadows, characters ; not only a simple bunch of grass in front of you

Ohh.. and in Oblivion the grass also moves in the wind. Maybe you can include this into your program. I dont no.(maybe a code snippet)
