You could try a script by Michiel Quist called 'make grass' (you can get it from here:

http://www.tdp.nu/index.shtml

combined (possibly) with a script by Michael Comet called 'Blow Grass' which you can get from here (just do a search for 'grass')

Willi hammes has an animated grass tutorial: http://www.3dluvr.com/willi

If I were you, I'd spend a little more time with ShagFur, since you seem to have it, you can map a texture to the grass, and it has dynamics built into it... As with most Digimation plugins, the tutorials are a little spartan, but it's a powerful lil' plugin when you get the hang of it.

Guys,

You dont need to use any fancy plugins, use some planes with an opacity map!

Opacity mapped planes look shit and you need to add lots and lots and lots of geometry to your scene to get decent results. OK for architectural pre-vis perhaps, but not for good-looking renders.

I'd say go with ShagFur, I've used it to make grass a few times and the results are excellent. Be prepared for horrid rendertimes though.

You can use scatter as well...
