    Wip First 3 tiles

    OK, here is my first pass on the first 3 tiles;

    1) Dead end with flowing pipe
    2) 4-way intersection
    3) Basic sewer section

    I have plans for at least 3 other tiles and a couple of 'extra pieces'. We'll see how it goes.

    As always C&C welcome...

    Looking good SG! Perhaps you could add some areas of more transparent water just to break up the green sludge and give it more character? Maybe mix in some browns as well. Might also be interesting to have some debris that can be dropped in here and there. Something like partly submerged tires, shopping carts, that sort of thing.

    @RP - Thanks... The water is actually 3 layers; there is a dark brown at the bottom, a darker green above that set to around 60% opacity and another layer of green above that with the texture on it. I'm not completely happy with the water but at least at this point I have enough to make a legitimate entry for the challenge.

    I do plan on some other 'drop-in' items; moveable walkways, debris piles, maybe a couple of critters or two. Just a matter of whether I have the time.

    Maybe on that top layer you can use the cloud renderer and then set it to multiply to allow more of the brownish colors to come through. Perhaps even add a "waterish" layer above the brown layer and then use the clouds to cut out sections of the green layer and then multiply with that top layer? I'm just trying to think of ways to add a little more "eww... character" to the overall sludge.

    Question Which do you like better?

    OK, I've tweaked the water a bit on one of the tiles, let me know which version you like better.

    The first image has the new style of water.
