Infact, Trespasser can even handle 20,000 grass objects at once.
I don't think chronzerg really did make a dinosaur swim, not underwater.

You can have a lot of grass instances in one place at once. You just can't have draw distance up much, if at all, at the same time. It's a trade-off. Always keep an eye on your draw distance when experimenting with dense environments. See LostJungle, here at TresCom, for a fun raptor-infested long grass area. It's important to keep density down, so not so many grass objects are rendering in full detail at once. That is, put more space between each grass object... And put the scale at 2.0 or so.

For water instances, they can be made pretty big, just not TOO big. You can also take 4 squares to make 4 sections of water that appear to be one large one, if you don't mind the ripples cutting off. You can also use other kinds of objects to simulate water, the way oceans do.
