Yeah, that had occurred to me too. I might have a go at a horizontal  
layer version too so we can compare the two.
My hunch is that for long grass (like what I made so far) the  
vertical layers will look noticeably better. However, for short grass  
there's probably little or no difference, so a horizontal layer will  
be the way to go since there's less images / work / CPU overhead(?)  
involved :-)
