Is static grass better than scatter?
I use both, separately and together.
Static grass comes in various sizes from 0.5mm to 12mm while scatter is flatter.
For covering large areas at the back of a layout, scatter will look good and produce a realistic look. By adding static grass to the scatter you can produce tufts of grass this looks good when creating meadows, marshland and even over grown urban scenes.
It is possible to create a varied landscape static grass at the front of the layout which will give the appearance of real grass, which in turn will draw the eye further in to the layout.
