Stone Garden WIP

I gave up on object leaves for ground clutter and have gone to image maps with small displacements blended with a fake stone network C&C welcome

That looks really great, Bobby! The bright grey areas in between look like melted (or molten?) ice.

Nice.
That tree looks awesome. It is a free model?

Yup, one of the XFROGs...I think the Bluegum Eucalyptus  OC12_6 if memory serves me right

Thanks Hannes. They're worn down fake stones; I reduced their height and pancaked them to get them worn looking. I should have made them darker grey..maybe I'll raise them up in the next attempt, or just adjust the colour.

I like how you have done the leaves.  Nice.

If you want I'll zip up the dry leaves colour and displace/bump maps and post em in File sharing...let me know.

[Lady of the Lake]

Sure that would be great.  Thanks.

heck they're small enough to post here

The leaves work quite well but definitely raise the stones some. Maybe a slightly darker grey for the stone color.

That's the plan, also have some higher resolution dry leaves if I can just locate them. Downloaded and not extracted I suspect....but they come with Alpha , Normal and I think Luminosity as well as Diffuse maps so should be great...if I can find em

I like your choice of colours, I would not mind some other stone-shading, though.
The background looks a bit like hugh piles of leaves. Is this intended?

Y got me there...the background received no attention as I was focusing on the fore ground...will also work on that..the stones will change.

If you need certain types of leaves, perhaps i could help?
