Mapping Assets, Textures etc.

I have another tree for you. This is a more recent one. I always struggle with the green ones the most I think. It's the hue, I tend to like visually a more olive green.

I did these with shadow or without, and 4 colors which is the way I do most of mine. That way I can adjust by hue, color temperature, saturation etc as I bring into the map. Also I figure a full grown tree is about 30-35 feet wide, and I like to oversize my png to shrink to fit, as enlarging becomes blurred.

These trees are great! I feel you on the greens, I tend to go too bright, although I think these look good. I really like the red and orange variations

[Kier]

Thanks Hermit. Orange has been my favorite to make, bringing the different shades into it. I think Yellow is my 2nd favorite now, although, nothing beats the pale flesh of a tree trunk and bright red leaves, it just screams fantasy to me, blood on the snow type thing I guess.

I got a few more rocks for now. Some of these I had started for my lite challenge, but went a different route, although some of them may still make it in the underwater grotto.

Nice Stones!

[Kier]

Thanks, Bogie. I think I am getting the hang of the rocks now.

Got another Weed/Plant thingy.
Some of the better variants I came up with posted below. I have no idea why, but I like the purple one. Probably never use it though. Although maybe in a dark scene, nightshade or something. At any rate, here you go.

[Tiana]

The purple is nice, you could use it in the Underdark.

Found an old bag lost in my folders. Posted up a couple colors.

[Kier]

A couple odds and ends.

The plant was from a large weed leaf from the woodline. I turned it into a weed. Rather pleased with curl and rumpled effect, but somehow developed a bit of a sheen on it. Not a ton of variations on this one yet, a little browner one.


I also have been working on some bottles, potion type things.

[Hermit]

These are all awesome! Those bottle/potion things look really good. The perspective is cool and the glare/highlights on the glass are nice details

[Kier]

Thanks, Hermit. I appreciate it.

So I have some crystals today, well, one crystal in a couple different colors. I am going to break them down in the future, a couple shards standing up together, etc. But overall rather pleased with the way they came out finally.
