Nice! And no need for particle effects, kinda nifty.
That is beautiful...time consuming, for the likes of me but beautiful (but not as time consuming as really thatching a roof).
If I make a bunch of houses will you thatch them for me using your magic script?

Sure thing if I can use them in my co-op tile !
Just need a height map 8 bit greyscale or a model that I can render one out from. I can take almost any kind of model but at the mo I don't have a sketchup format converter. I should be ok with 3dsmax, obj, lightwave, vrml + lots more like that.
If your building it yourself then its not worth putting huge amounts of detail in as it seems that the thatch covers it up.
Heres a basic hut. I have loads of huts and this is the best one I have. It took just a few seconds to generate.
More cottage bits
I was so impressed I had to try to see if I could do something similar with Gimp:
Attachment 3442
I created a set layers of rotated thatch images, then set the layer mask for each as a bump mapped version of the heightfield with the light coming from the same direction as the thatch was rotated. I think I had the lighting elevation too low, and I only went with 45 degree rotations, cause I was just playing.
I realized afterward that I should have scaled the thatch down a bit, but I think the basics are there.
How did you blend the rotated layers to get the non-direction version?
I think this might be worth scripting...
