Kaine123

also im curious how you did the waves? distance fields?

Stanley3DArt

Distance fields yeah, tiling normal maps, most of the standard stuff I've found from tutorials online - going to look at getting more in depth with the water as I move along - already got a water caustics lighting setup i've created but going to add that once I've finalized some of the form more

Little bit of an update over the weekend, still trying to define more rock formations and get more solidity in the islands around, a lot more assets planned and considering making some sea/wild life

Stanley3DArt

Had a big break from this project but I'm back at it___ Working on some wildlife to start back off into it,

Will retopo this turtle and texture then move onto some birds and then get back into it with some wood and more foliage!

This is looking really cool so far, looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Have you any plans for what kind of story you are going to get into the environment?

Stanley3DArt

Yeah, really going to work on trying to make things feel lived in, going to spend a lot of time ironing out different areas and making them feel unique and have their own purpose

Heres an update on the turtleboii
