Grass Texturing

I am making grass with a plane and "hair-particles" on it. Then I want the grass to have one texture and the ground another one. How can I do that?

-Answer-

With the ground object selected go to materials tab, assign one material for the ground and call it whatever you want (i suggest ground), then hit the + icon on the right of the material preview, this will create another material slot, hit the large button 'new' below, this will create another material for the same object, call it grass, tweak the materials you just created or do it later. Now with the ground object still selected, go to particles tab, create a new particle system hitting the + icon on the right. just below in the type section, choose hair. now go a little below, in the render section there is a material slider, hit the arrow pointing right and choose material 2. That's it.

Can I put some info about my site

I'm new to this portal. And I wonder if it is possible to share some info from my site? Thanks. --Jeremaja

No you cant. I've removed the link to your site.

I think this is the 20th time I delete links to cu.st.o.m...essa.ys websites. Sorry if I'm being abrupt but if that was you please stop it, or I'll be forced to ban you like I've banned tons of anonymous people already.

If you are honest thinking, you should know and remind that putting commercial links unrelated to 3D in this site will take down the ranking of wiki.blender.org so you would do a disservice to the wiki itself.

Thanks. I get it. You are a very patient person. No more silly questions from me. All best to you and your site.

Difficulties with Manipulator handles

New to portal, new to Blender. Having difficulty with manipulator handles. Wish to use 3D manipulators as shown in "scale" manipulator handle image, third from left on this page. Instead, I have double-ended arrow manipulator, which I find very difficult to use accurately at this point. Have tried switching in 3D view menu to 3D manipulator, and have tried changing cursors & both in various combinations. Was not able to find on this site where to switch off the double-ended arrow cursor. Apologies for noob question but thank you for any assistance. Afia
