Mapping Assets, Textures etc.

I did up another tree, more for the sake of not forgetting how I render these. I sometimes go through spurts, and forget how I did something. I have notes and blends saved, but so many little tweaks, so I try to pop another variety out to keep the method fresh in my head. If some one needs them in higher resolution, let me know.

You could always create a master file with layer adjustments for all of the usual colorations you do, so you don't repeatedly do the same colorizations. They are nice, good fall trees.

Nice, I like the bark on the trunks.

I try to do the same colorizations, lol.

I run 4 renders, 1 for each color variation, green, yellow, orange and red. If I remember to do it, I randomize the leaves shades of colors within the 4 setups(sometimes I forget). I really like variation, which is why I do so many trees. In the past creating the pngs in gimp and tweaking, if I messed with the hue, it effected the trunk too much, but now with the 4 basic colors I can alter the shade and hue a touch without effecting the trunk. I tend to do that more on a map by map basis though.


Thanks, Bogie. I like this bark variation the best so far, but I will continue tweaking. I need to get a good brown one which still shows texture.

We are nearing peak leaf season here, so went for a quick walk grabbing some leaves to make trees, bushes, ferns, plants, weeds, etc.

This is some weed that I loved the leaf on, it was 1/2 red, and 1/2 green so turned into a quick weed. I really need to work more on the render shapes. I know nature actually makes plants and trees symmetrical, but it always looks too neat for me. The middle one is the actual leaf color. I made too many variations, including my favorites. But hit on a new one for me, a snow or ice plant. Kind of looks like a snowflake right now, lol.

If the weather cooperates this weekend, we will be heading up the Kanc for our annual foliage drive.

Nice bushes!

The leaves are great right now. It is peak for me, Green, yellow, orange and red. Sometimes all one leaf.

Must say, I do like your rock collection(s). Quite real.

Well done.

Just a a quick one tonight for you. I have been working a lot on my Endless Dungeon maps this month(1 per week, basic 33x34 inch dungeon crawl maps), and coming up with some assets to give a little without detail without filing out the entire dungeon. A

Finally got a scattered rock/debris overlay I like. Probably over a 5 foot area or 10 foot max.
