I love the flaked rock steps. Reminds me of a real-life hardscape project I did. Are those in the environment pics above?

These look great! Looking forward to seeing how you created these sexy rocks.

The flat colour renders of those rocks look beautiful.

Wow man! I'm blown away by your rock stuffs, they look absolutely gorgeous. The flat renders of the stairs remind me of obsidian, what type of rock did you use as reference?

My only complaint is that the engine shots have too much fog, they're covering up your beautiful texture work!

Love the skybox as well man, look forward to seeing more of your work!

Love those rocks!

Mr Significant

Mine too Only question: which matcap is this ?

Also you can share the knowledge of sculpting this type of rocks! Amazing sculpts.

really lovely flaky rocks, been trying to replicate the same thing for my rocks in mudbox. will be following this thread closely. I duno if this is a compression thing or just UDK. Its just a bit disappointing to see all those nice sharp details lost in game imo.

this stuff is beautiful, the trees in that last shot look gorgeous too, do you have any breakdowns of those?

So all the rocks where done with a combination of Zbrush and 3D Coat. Coat is a really great program, if you want to make some really cool organic stuff, rocks, concrete, road destruction, and much much more, take a good look at Coat, awesome stuff, and super fast!

- Mr Significant,
Its just a render out of 3DS Max using a shellac material

Yeah, its a shame really. UE3's normal maps are surprisingly weak, and they need a ton of help to start doing their job. So I tried to figure out a good solution,(tried out all the different compressions, read up on it) and this is the best I could come up with

Cry is built for more out doorsy stuff, but UE3 is a prefect tool for leaning shaders, particles, and really for landscape too. I had a ton fun time figuring all this stuff out. Its great to have a free engine that is really well documented that you can sandbox stuff in! So that's why I went with it.

Here is that run down... this is the high-poly sheet, it doesn't reflect the low sheet. Just a render
