Mapping Assets, Textures etc.

[Kier]

Going through my files and figured I should start a thread and start posting some of what I have created and enjoy the fun.

Starting off with some rocks. I originally thought these would only be good as small rocks, 1-2 feet size, but put a couple in my lite challenge as 5 foot boulders earlier this evening and they looked fine. I am not really a fan of drop shadows(choosing to add mine at time of adding to map), but I know most people prefer them so posted with.The 3rd is my favorite to date.

Those Rock! Nice work.

[Kier]

Thanks, Bogie.

I have so many forgotten pngs, renders, etc. I tend to start on something, make 100, then never file them or convert them from GIMP to png, then learn a better way, then replace them all. I have so many "test" files saved throughout this computer, I am not sure if I will ever get through them. And I hate getting rid of them, because even a bad rock looks great shrunk down, lol.

The last one is a larger file intended to be a boulder or stacked area. I can see it easily being 15-20 foot range for mapping purpose. I hope the resolutions are good.

Awesome rocks! The moss/growth on these is really cool

[Kier]

Thanks, Hermit. I find the moss adds a touch to it, plus breaks up any repetitive textures that show.

Got a couple Palm Trees today. Still have rocks. You can never have too many of anything, but wanted a little switch. These are variations from ones I used in my Welcome to the Jungle encounter map, and Palm Tree Paradise for the Bookmark Challenge.

I like those palm trees Kier, Nice!

[Hermit]

Very nice! I'm getting close to being able to do an island-based map.

[Tiana]

Yep, those are very good.

[Kier]

Thank you. Glad you like them. I am working on improving and in nature Palm trees always grow more swooped out, or leaning, so once I nail down my technique on the trunks I am sure I will have more.

April Showers bring May Flowers.

Not really sure what to do with these. They are an off shoot of a tree actually, but instead of leaves I put flowers. I like them and the technique so I am sure I will revisit again. But as is, they may work for someone for fields of flowers. My maps tend to be darker and dirtier, not sure flowers work, lol. But I really like how the variety of colors mixed together. The lavender is my favorite, I will have to find a use for them sometime or an offshoot of them.

No I didn't lose my mind, well possibly, but these are top down views.

Dead Trees.

So these were created for my Lite Challenge this month. Dead or dying, or bare birch trees. I tend to use them underneath live trees so the branches are sticking out. The same tree of course can be rotated, and used in several places, with the trunk laying across a path, or the branches sticking out of a different area of the map altogether. The upright tree, I like to have the branches or tips of them poking out of a deep forest. I rotated the tree to get 2 different laying down views.
