Another test of Moss on Rock. Added one meter cracks to rock. Foreground rock uses painted shader for moss placement; whereas the distant rock uses a distribution shader.

Very Nice!

Very Nice!

Thank you.

Well done Bob...prefer the one that uses the Distribution shader myself. Didn't know a Paint shader worked on objects....gonna try that.

Thanks Bobby. Here is where that maybe adding a surface shader to the object selecting intersect underlying might be the best thing to do when using the distribution shader.

Well a Surface layer does everything almost that a Distribution shader does plus it adds the intersect layers TAB

Give it a go Bobby, would be nice to see what you come up with.

Nice one!

[choronr]

Nice one!

Thank you Mick.

Not sure about the surface texturing on the big rock but in general i like this scene

[Oysterman]

Good looking imge!

Maybe it looks different with a bigger resolution but to me the moss on the distant big rock (left) looks more natural.

Cheers

Thank you Kadri. Yes, I think the distribution shader is better than using the painted shader for the moss distribution of the moss. Also, lighting has a big effect on the results.

Thank you; yes, I agree. As I said above, the distribution shader yields better results.

two thumbs up!

Thank you. This was a fun learning exercise.
