Yeah, I know this is awful to look at....but.....gotta start somewhere




okay, so my different uv sets and layered textures are technically working, but artistically...not so much.


Here's what I think I need to do:

- Get back to that blackish low contrast grout
- Get back to that blueish cobblestone
- my mud is looking more like just a pile of brown colour on a map....I need to make its alpha more solid and focus on getting some nice muddy cracks and detail.

Ultimately, I think good cobblestone will tend to sit back and not demand too much attention, but still contain enough visual interest when focused on. Think of a painting....the areas you want to highlight the most will have the most contrast.

i agree man, keep things simple and desatruated. when u add too much colour things dont look right. glad the uv stuff is workin for ya. the cobble stone will look nice with minimal textures and colour but with a nice bump map. u can layer bump maps too u can have a small noisey one and then maybe one of large flat cracks and depressions. cheers
