This After Effects tutorial shows how to create a 3D field of grass that's blowing in the wind. We'll use Photoshop's Generative Fill (AI) to create the grass images, or you can download the images using the download link at the bottom (scroll all the way down) of the Landscaper page:

We will also use a free Animation Preset to quickly spread the grass layers out. The preset is called GridScape, and you can download it here:
